    I'll treat that comment with the contempt it deserves. The fight was voted upset of the year back in the day I believe. Laing had his faults but when he was good, he was REALLY good.

    Has to be Lennox Lewis.

    World Amateur Champ
    Commonwealth games champ
    Olympic games champ..

    Undisputed heavyweight champ with a pretty impressive resume.

    Tyson
    Holyfield
    Klitscko(disputed but still a victory).
    Bruno
    Mercer
    Tua
    Briggs
    Galota
    Morrison
    Rahman.
    McCall.

    And the list goes on.

    I know Joe Calzaghe is the current U.K Flavour of the month but one cant forget Lennox Lewis's career from Amateur to Professional.

    I hate the bloke for dominating my man Tyson and Tommy gunn but even i have to admit Lennox's career stats and performances are hard to top.

    From amateur to pro the ******* just owned everyone.
