Yeah he fought Khan and beat up Paul Loyd earlier in his career. Think it was a world title bout?

The Lloyd fight was an absolute massacre, possibly the most one-sided round I've ever seen.

Zack Page has fought over here a few times, got absolutely robbed against Tom Dallas (when Dallas was undefeated) I was gutted for him.

I was at the Scott Harrison v Victor Polo fight that ended in a draw! Total shambles! Polo was robbed blind that night!

I saw the fight before, live, he absolutely pounded Richie Wenton for the vacant title. Fair play to Wenton, he was never quite the same after the Stone fight although he did pick up a couple of decent wins.

I saw that Hearns fight live, was slightly surreal watching an old legend jiggling around against a semi-decent world beater who just didn't get out of first gear all fight or put up any sort of decent argument. Was slightly unedifying to watch, particularly in a cold, draughty and empty MEN arena (or was it the Nynex then?) at 1am.

Fosters career went rapidly downhill after that fight. Never beat anyone of note since.

I watch the Barrera Lloyd fight every time I'm in a foul mood, seems to cheer me right up! Barrera was devastating that night.

I think Zolani Tete was quality when he beat Paul Butler, really enjoyed that fight. Choi also entertained, always rooted for him.

Barrera was a beast in his early days wasn't he?

One of the most vicious body punchers i've ever seen during the first half of his career.

Gave richie wenton from liverpool a good hiding as well.

Good call.

By the way, these are all imports.

Lennox Lewis was an export.

Maybe Frank turned into 'Kelle' after these fights and slept with a few judges and IJL!! :o

This. Sergio Martinez also well worth a mention from his early/mid career victories over here.

Katsidis explosive over here against Earl & Mitchell, not so much against Burns and C***e

That first fight with Derry was horrible to watch! but enjoyed Choi's style made up he got revenge of sorts in PF

Marsili who boxed Derry was also very good not suprising none of or LW went down the EBU title route despite our abundence of them!

I like Khomitskey alot won a few quid on him in the Etches and Buglioni fights also had Jones at 5-1 to stop Rose but i cant see him doing it in the return unfortunatley!

Not to be pedantic - but shouldn't the title of this thread be.

"Favourite international import?"
