    Maybe not B-hop level but any chance to bring Maravilla Martinez into a discussion is always good

    Tyson obviously. But good argument that Hopkins vs Cleverly would be the most high profile and important international match to happen in the UK for generations.

    Barrera battered Hamed so I guess he is high profile. Tyson was also here after Hagler.

    Ha ha yep, high profile was the wrong turn of phrase. Should have been is he ' the best still top notch' fighter since Ali.

    Plenty went to see the shell of Hearns as a desperate undercard fighter trying to bump his status with a tin pot trinket, and a less than 'iron' mike obviously had the country and Mail readers on red alert. Foreman a good shout, though not headlining whilst MAB did his job by selling half the tickets. Had to go to that one though, to witness greatness in the flesh.

    Winky made his rep with three or four dominant Brit wins as well, though he was off the radar beforehand.

    Hopkins is still elite level and would be a real coup to have him over here. Probably nowt come of it, but i'd give a left sac to be there.
