    Which British fighter has the biggest win?

    What British fighter do you think has the biggest win on his record, I though about this one after seeing loads of news papers saying Calzaghe was the best British fighter ever. For me it has to be Randy Turpin's win over Sugar Ray Robinson, even at the time Robinson was considered one of the best fighters ever and the P4P no1. who have you got?

      My favourite is the destruction of Cotto by Jennings.

        In all fairness you could not make any of Joe's wins the best win of a British fighter, because Eubank was clearly past his best, although not as far as some would have you believe. I dont think Joe beat Hopkins, Jones was waay past his prime.

        Honeyghan's win was a big upset, but lets be honest Curry was overrated. I think we realized how overrated Curry was when McCallum flattened him.


        Lewis wins over Holyfield are the biggest imo.

            That will be(if it happens) the funniest thing quite possibly ever! Then NSB will be boricua 0% for the next year or until lopez fights.

              I would say Randy Turpin's win over Sugar Ray Robinson.

                Seconded.

                Also a shout to Nigel Benn for his demolition of McLellan. Shame it had to end in such a horrific injury but a legendary win all the same.

                  Jennings will devaste Cotto with clean counter punching and wicked uppercuts.

                    Lennox Lewis the first Undisputed British Heavyweight champion since Bob Fitzsimmons in 1899. Thats pretty damn historical imo.

                    Lewis beat a legend in Evander Holyfield the only 4-time Heavyweight champion.
