Whats the greatest win by a British fighter of all time?

[LacedUp]

No Eubank over Benn? One of the greatest in my opinion.

Since we are discussing it, I would put Laing's win over Duran up there for sure. Or maybe even the Prince's win over Kelley. Great victory, even though it wasn't an upset. Benn > Barklay was also an amazing win.

It'll soon be Khan over Mayweather!

the vitali one shouldn't count as Vitali was schooling him....

in Klitschko land that might make sense, but he lost. Let it go.

Henry Cooper knocking down Cassius Clay.

British? I hate when people say British. Say English, Welsh and Scottish. They are different. That'd be like calling all from fighters from Mexico, Puerto Rico, America, Peru the America's fighters. And British does not include Irish people.

Anyway I really have no idea. The biggest win in my mind right now is Watson over Benn, that was a big win but was two English fighters. Barry Mcguigan's win over Eusebio Pedroza was huge at the time but Barry's Irish.

pedantic much?

Honeyghan v Curry for me.....the way Lloyd embraced his complete underdog status and literally decided that he was not going back to the UK without Curry's belts showed immense mental strength.

Beating the man widely regarded 'the main man' at the time and to win the undisputed world welterweight championship in America still looks mighty impressive. That win along with one or two others got me into boxing.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Mr Honeyghan about that win back in around 2000 at a digital tv boxing promotional party up in the Embankment area.

Unfortunately I was in an excitable mood due to the Peruvian Marching Powder being bandied about & must have looked like a right twat to Lloyd, even telling him that he was 'in Maths class with my cousins husband'.

I think Honeyghan...

Although i not so secretly voted for Calzaghe because i was there.

Lewis was schooling him in the 2nd half of the fight. Vitali looked like he was going to past out from loss of blood. It's been a decade dude.. let it go.. Jesus you **** ***.

Did a British Black guy *** your mom or EX-GF or something?

Lewis punched him until he was deemed unable to continue. Sounds like a win to me

I voted Benn over McClellan.

To be fair, Benn got some help from that referee but the effort he put in to get that win is something else. That's a fighter.

Hamed-Kelly was a great fight and a great win.

Honourable mention;

Buchanan over Laguna
