Which British boxer has had the greatest single win within the last 20 years?

All mentioned had a shout, Ben didnt. I remember at the time you wouldnt put two bob on Him. The only glimmer was two months earlier Montell Griffins had sparked Him in Sparring in Miami, but Montell was Brilliant in the Gym, He wasnt bad out of it either.

 

Sparked who?

 

Griffins sparked McClellan

 

Really... where did you read that? I can imagine that... McLellon was like a poor mans Roy Jones and Griffin nailed jones a number of times in their first fight.

 

McCllenan beat Roy Jones as amateur which suggests of his quality pedigree.

McCllenan laid out Julian Jackson who was something like 46-1-0 (43 KO's)

McCllenan was definelty a serious force - some people might overrated him and get carried away - but people calling him the Jeff Lacy of his day are underrating him

 

He also lost to Frankie Liles in the ams and suffered a couple of silly losses early in his pro career. He prob would have beaten a circa 1995 Bernard Hopkins but he made so many defensive errors against Benn and Jackson (first time round) its hard to envisage him ever been anything more then a shooting star like Lacy turned out to be. Personally I feel peak Lacy would have beaten Mclellon- he's very under-rated overall and was superb on his way up- but his confidence is shattered after getting beaten by Zaggy so i'll never be proved right.

 

Eddie told me

 

McClellan could never ever have beaten Hopkins. Not unless it was a complete novice version.

 

I thought it was Roy Jones who lost to Frankie Liles in the amateurs

 

Hopkins 1995?? sucked ass..... seriously he was mediocre he has blossomed late on IMO. That Mecardo has him on the deck twice.

 

Both did.... I'm pretty sure liles beat both.

 

Llooyd Honeyghan v Don Curry (assuming it was within 20years)

 

If Micky Duff fancied it, Honeygan was in with a shout and it was widly known Curry was struggling with weight.

 

benn over mcclellan takes it for me.

g-man was in his prime at the time.

fearsome puncher.

good boxer to.

just a shame about the tragic outcome. :-(
