    Which is the best win for a British fighter? Lennox Lewis beating Vitali Klitschko or Ken Buchanan beating Ismael Laguna?

    Lennox didn't really beat Vitali, he was losing and was lucky Vitali got cut. The stupid ref let him desperately rub the laces of his gloves into Vitali's cuts to make them worse, and hit while holding as much as he wanted.

    So although Vitali is a great fighter, I think given the circumstances of Lennox's win:

    Ken Buchanan over Ismael Laguna
    Ricky "the 'itman" 'atton beating Kostya Tszyu
    Barry McGuigan beating Eusebio Pedroza
    John H Stracey beating Jose Napoles

    were better wins by UK fighters.

    how is getting dominated and winning luckily because a doctor a good win? Everyone considers it as a win for Vitali, and a loss for lennox that made him refuse the rematch and go into retirement.

    Only deluded fools consider it a win for Vitali. If he had been dominating by the end of the fight, you would have every right to protest, despite the eventual result. However, the tide had clearly turned and the only inevitable result was a Lewis KO.

    lol? Vitali won round 6 easily, meaning that no tide turned. Vitali was dominating the fight, and only a complete and biased idiot would deny that/
