Biggest upsets involving British boxers

[porkypara]

Not the biggest of all time but it was hell of a shock for Americans Calzaghe beatdown of Lacy.

Yes,I think a lot of Brit fans including myself thought Joe would win but not as easy as he did and most yanks thought jeff was going to knock Joe into orbit.

Hamed-Kelly? I wasn't really into the boxing scene then (I was only 6 ) but I would of thought alot of people were expecting Kelly to knock Hamed out?

I think Naz was the favorate in that one mate.

I think Kelly had a few losses on his record by then.

Great fight though.

Naz was heavy odds on.

If you mean upsets both ways involving British fighters.

Naz was 4/11 to beat Barrera
Lacy was 8/13 on to beat Calzaghe
Tzysu was around 4/7 to beat Hatton.

Benn vs. McClellan stand out ,I dont know about over there but over here I remember many thinking it was just a formality...Gerald would wreck him.

Even as a big Benn fan I thought he was going to get KOed in that one.

The ease with which Honeyghan beat Curry was so surprising to me. Here Curry took apart McCrory to unify the WW division & it seemed like he might be an ATG one day.

Turpin - Sugar ray, and Honeyghan - Curry ....... I definitely agree. The guys were the undisputed number one fighter on the planet, near their peaks and they got beat fair and square.

Laing and Duran is up there too, but Duran was slightly past his best and clearly hadn;t even bothered to train!!!

Bentt - Morrison was another?

I dont agree about benn - McClellan as Nigel would always have a punchers chance against anyone. It was actually a good fight for him (guy was coming up in weight for the foirst time, fighting at home, Benn was the experienced guy, McClellan hadnlt been tested)
