Biggest upsets involving British boxers

[porkypara]

1-SSR vs Randy Turpin
2-Don Curry vs Lloyd Honeyghan

They are the top 2 IMO but there are lots of others such as Hatton-Koysta,Lewis V Ruddock,Lanning V Duran to name a few.

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.

This is no upset, but the next brit to go down is Hatton

Curry v Honeyghan was the biggest upset by a British fighter bar non.

Curry v Honeyghan was the biggest upset by a British fighter bar non.

I'd have two above that:

1. Turpin overcoming a peak Ray Robinson
2. Terry Marsh on points over the law (allegedly)

Mark Kaylor - Buster Drayton? Or was Kaylor not really big enough to call his loss an upset?

[smashup]

Randy Turpin v Ray Robinson has gotta be the biggest.
It was Sugar Ray Robinson after all
