[littlepug]

on paper what are the best wins for british boxers, im sure the old timers could add a few but i will start off with the obvious ones- turpin v robinson, honeygahn v curry, laing v duran.

[littlepug]

not in the same league but still worthy of a mention lewis v ruddock, benn v mclellan, hatton v tzsu, mcauley v matlala, froch v bute, froch v taylor.

Nigel Benn rsc1 Iran Barkley was a good one too.

John H. Stracey taking the welterweight crown from Jose Napoles in Mexico City deserves a mention.

Ken Buchanan -v- Ismael Laguna

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Jack Berg over Canzoneri & Chocolate.

[oliverfennell]

McGuigan over Pedroza, if I may class him as British.

mcauley v matlala

That was not such a big deal at the time. Matlala didn't make his name at the highest level until a few years later.

[elmersalsa]

The great Bob Fitzsimmons win over heavyweight world champion James J. Corbett got to be tops. I think it is the greatest win in British boxing history.

Honorary mention:
Lennox Lewis vs Mike Tyson
Randy Turpin vs Sugar Ray Robinson I
Ted "Kid" Lewis vs Jack Britton (the fight that he regained the crown)
Nigel Benn vs Gerald McClellan
