    Tom Cribb could draw more headlines than a major battle of the Napoleonic wars fighting a good contender.

    Perhaps he was the first sports mega star.

    That is one absolutely huge and unbelievable achievement.

    Was it the battle of Trafalgar that was relegated from the front page by Cribb v Molineaux.

    In modern terms, it shows how much the sport has actually digressed. Could anyone imagine hearing something like:

    In News today, we cover the Vitali Klitchsko vs American Eddie chambers fight.... and in other news, Osama Bin Laden has launched an attack on an American City! Absolutely unbelievable.

    Andrew Golota. He was the presage of the Eastern Europe domination at HW, while there were still rulling Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson, Bowe.
