Lennox Lewis v Donovan Ruddock
Amir Kahn V Mario Kendelan
Joe Calzaghe V Jeff Lacy
Joe Calzaghe V Mikkel Kessler
Ken Buchanan gave Roberto a good fight...
Naz V Barrera!
Sorry, I couldn't resist ;)
Joe Calzaghe v Jeff Lacy
Ricky Hatton v Kosta Tzsyu.
Danny Williams v Mike Tyson.
OK on a serious note:
Lewis Vs Tyson and Benn Vs vs McClellan
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.Quote:

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.
But neither were British ???Quote:

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

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.
That is pretty amazing Scrap, and how about Ted Kid Lewis drawing with Benny Leonard thats some achievement as well.Quote:

Look what happened to Williams in his next fight when he went up against decent opposition.Quote:

Williams v Tyson = Tyson was washed up.
Honeyghan v Curry = top 2 , by a british fighter , but Curry had weight problems.
Lewis v Tyson = Tyson wasnt anywere near his prime , but top win
Eubank v Watson = Watson was exposed by Mike McCallum , at top level , so not a great win.
Eubank v Benn = great fight , great win.
I think Benn's win over McClellan ranks along side if not better than Honeyghans win , because G-man had hammerd Jackson and many others at middle , Benn showed great fighting heart that night , pity he was injured as the fight doesnt get watched as much as it should.
top 5 for me not in any order
Honeyghan v Curry
Benn v McClellan
Stracey v Napoles
Turpin v Robinson
Hatton v Kostya
