The best losing performance from a British fighter in a major fight?

Its not really a major fight but Nicky Cook fought hard agaisnt Luevano.

 

Wayne McCollough V Erik Morales.

 

Cooper Ali.

 

Would have been a good un but McCullough ain't British.

Best efforts:

Carl Thompson v Ezra Sellars
Paul Ingle v Naseem Hamed
Richie Woodhall v Keith Holmes
Billy Schwer v Stevie Johnson
Frank Bruno v Lennox Lewis

Worst efforts:

Johnny Nelson v James Warring
Junior Witter v Zab Judah
Gary Lockett v Kelly Pavlik

 

Watson vs Eubank II

 

howard eastman vs william joppy

 

Not sure about this one, sure he put up a good show, but I thought Eastman could have won this one if he'd pushed on harder, I was screaming at the telly for him to hit Joppy at some points.

I was also going to say Graham v Jackson. For 3 1/2 rounds that boxing performance was sheer perfection. However, that one lapse in concentration was completely disastrous for the bomber.

I think that Schwer got beat pretty wide in that fight, but still a good effort :good

Graham v McCallum

 

buchannan v duran.

 

A couple of Michael Brodie ones:

Brodie v Jorrin

Brodie v Chi I (a ****ed up draw I know, but it must have felt like a loss, especially following the butchery of the sequel)

 

Billy Hardy v Orlando Canizales for me

 

Green vs Palomino?
