Danny Williams v Mike Tyson.

OK on a serious note:

Williams Vs Tyson was nothing to get too excited about, Tyson at that point was washed up and nothing more than a name.

Read the title prick , best ever performances, it was a great performance by a British fighter regardless whether the opponent was washed up or not.

Was Lacy not one dimensional
was Tzsyu not too old

You could also say those two but it's not a thread of the opposition it's on the performance of the Brit if you read the title.

Haye beating Mormeck is up there with Honeygan and Turpin also Benn beating the Italian in his own back yard was a good victory too at the world championship level.

Although he lost he almost had it...so so close

Jou Louis - Billy Conn.

No No Dude, I was bein all snipey, I was just wondering was there something I didn't know about Conn?

From my knowledge of him Conn was born in Pittsburgh, the son of Irish Immigrants.
His family was heavily interested in boxing, but seemed quarrelsome as they were often involved in Brawls outside of the ring too. In fact Billy, jealous that his bigger heavier brother was deemed the toughest challenged him to a fight and KO'd him!!!

Benn v Mcclellan

Honeyghan v Curry

Calzaghe v Lacy (at the time - this achivement is losing wight now the apparent overrating and shiteness of Lacy )

Jack Kid Berg beating Kid Chocalate who was 90 and 0 in Yankee Stadium takes some beating.
