What is British Boxings greatest moment??

[Hobo]

I live in the states and wondered what folks over the pond thought was the shining moment in Brit Boxing.

Cooper knocking down Ali... Unifications from Lennox...
Newer lot might say Joshua vs Wlad at wembley..

Anything hatton related .. and a bunch on here will say Calzaghe beating Lacy, and a past prime Roy and Hopkins..

Wasn't Randy Turpin that beat Sugar Ray Robinson a Brit???

yeah but he got ****ing drilled in the rematch and it was put down to an off day on sugar ray..

in all honesty, unless you're after pure nostalgia you'll be hard pressed to find a british boxing fan that has completely accurate memories or knowledge of what our fighters did in the 50's etc lol

Can remember as a kid how big the Eubank/Benn rivalry was. Both regularly drew over 10million viewers. Remember how serious **** would get between supporters of each.

My personal favourite was when Hatton beat Tzsyu in Manchester. Amazing atmosphere and a career best performance from Hatton. It was after 2am when the fight started too, which added to the excitement.

My dad talks about Henry Cooper vs Cassius Clay, he was out drinking and as he went to the toilet Clay was on the canvas looking down and out, by the time he came out the fight was over and Cooper was stopped on cuts! Cooper was a very British kind of hero. Never the greatest but courageous, humble and well liked.

McGuigan v Pedroza was a big deal in the 80s but he was badly mismanaged and didn't really stay around long enough. Benn Eubank Watson were great fighters but that was very much a British thing, Irish too with Steve Collins.

Objectively Calzaghe in the modern era, Turpin in the 50s due to his illustrious opponent and Bob Fitzimmons being the first 3 division champ back in the 1900s.
