I watched the Hatton fight on Saturday...and Jim Lampley said that Hatton's victory over Kosta was voted the greatest win in British boxing history.
My first thought was...that can't be.The mauling of a used up,injured,champion who had one foot in retirement is the greatest 'win' in British Boxing?
Then...I thought,yeah...I guess it was.Some history....
Where is the 'Thrilla in Manilla'?....or Hagler/Hearns...or Leonard/Duran...or any number of dozens of moments we have had in the USA.
Hatton beating an old man is their greatest moment?...
Yet someone will start a thread asking why British fighters must come to the USA to prove they are really world champions.
Simps....
McGuigan vs Pedroza
Randy Turpin vs Ray Robinson
Benn vs McClellan
Honeyghan vs Curry
Lewis vs Holyfield
Buchanan vs Laguna
Stracey v Napoles
Now do I have to mention anymore history to you, sunny boy!
Watched that fight on Youtube the other day for the first time in 10 years. No fight will make you a Nigel Benn fan more than that one.
Aye Hattons win was great but so was Lang beating Duran,Benn beating McClellan,McGuigan beating Pedroza,Bruno beating McCall was a great win not up there with the 1s ive mentioned but worth a mention all the same. I'm not a Brit who claims Lewis's wins as British wins Lewis's dont count as he was Canadian.

Probably the first one that came to mind.
calzaghe over lacy is the biggest win in british boxing hisotry. hatton over zoo is the best win in british wrestling history.
:rofl: :rofl:
Sure. You newbies crack me up.
Fights like Turpin-Robinson I and Honeyghan-Curry are easily bigger wins.
So you like Lewis but despise Hatton, Calzaghe, Wladimir and so on...it isn't British boxers you hate, nor foreign boxers, it's white boxers! You only seem to hate foreigners if they're white. 100 % of your posts prove this, you never post a negative word about a black boxer and never a positive word about a white fighter.
Diego likes Hatton
I hate to defend the prick, but he's not racist.
I suggest you do a bit of research before you decide to make a shit thread like this again. Kinda made yourself look abit dumb. Btw the greatest british win was Honeyghan vs Curry.
Hattons win over Tszyu had to be the biggest win for Hatton. I predicted he would win by UD on the Castillo fight, but, I thought he was going to get creamed by Tszyu
It was a simple statement,fool....was that the biggest win in their history?
If so...then that's sad.Just like you ass...sad.
As for killing myself...nah,it would make your mother too unhappy.
Nah, you're just throwing a bit of racist hate across the Atlantic.
Ever heard of Lennox Lewis destroying the worlds best HW's? I know some Brits don't acknowledge Lewis as British but his achievements outweigh any British fighter, IMO.
I didn't have a vote...Lampley said it was voted,by I assume British people,as the greatest moment.
Buy yeah...I would say Lennox being a true world champ would out weigh anything else that I know about.

I agree.
Suicide is the only option for a retard of such magnitude.
I'll get the beers in.
Retard???...just for that,I'm putting sand in the vaseline...for the next time you boyfriend anally reams you.
Maybe you should consider killing yourself.
Go on, it'll be fun.

I don't want to make a habit of this, but I agree with you (somewhat).
Randy Turpin beating Ray Robinson was pretty big too.
That's true. I mean people still talk about that fight all of the time, so it's up there.
Nah. The Tszyu was old card gets played too many times for that. I'd say Lennox beating Evander twice (robbed once) is the best in British history if for no other reason than because Holyfield wasn't that old at the time and went on to win another heavyweight title. Besides, Lewis beats Holyfield at any point in their careers to me. I don't know if Hatton would beat a younger Tszyu. Probably.
Maybe he meant as taking PLACE in Britain. Then it's definitely Hatton over Tszyu.
