The Best British Win

Has to be Honeyghan for me. Not to many British fighters have beat one of the worlds top fighters while they were in there prime and outside the UK.

 

A bit over-hyped; Pound for pound was not really pushed in the mid 80s, and even then I would say most had Curry behind at least Hagler going into the bout.

But it was, no doubt, a sensational win for Honeyghan, although Lloyd had done this sort of thing before; when he went to Italy and took apart Rosi, it looked (and was) a very good win at the time; even more so by time Rosi had retired.....

 

Turpin over Robinson. It's that simple.

How the **** Hatton over Tszyu is an option I'm not quite sure at this point.

 

Great performance by Buchanan whose class was underlined when he repeated the win over Laguna at MSG 12 months later in great style, and despite being practically blind in his left eye.

 

If you want to be a cynical bugger Hatton-Zoo, Honey-Curry, Stracy-Napoles and Turpin-Robinson can all be "explained away"....

Hatton- Zoo = the ref was a cheat (Zzzzzzz)

Honey-Curry = Curry was dead at the weight

Stracey-Napoles - Napoles was an old man

Turpin-Robinson = Robinson was shagging/ drinking his way through a European tour at the time.

There may be an element of truth in some/ all of those reasons, but they were all still very good wins.

 

robinson didn't drink and randy shagged more than he did .
