Great British boxing moments

[bigjack]

Lets see if I get this right....

"That is it!,.. that is it I think..it's over, it's over Lennox Lewis has done it!"

The greatest night of my boxing life.

Name that fight guys?....

would that be from lewis vs ruddock

[LeedsLad]

Lewis vs Rahman II springs to mind, even though really it shouldn't be in his top 10 wins.

From the shock of him being laid out to the build up of the fight.... does he have it anymore? Rahman might be all wrong for him? etc etc.....

Hatton/Tszyu

[SteveDow]

Lewis ko'ing Rahman with that hail mary punch

Bruno beating McCall

Haye hammering Maccarinelli in 2 rounds

Hamed's systematic destruction of Steve Robinson

Hamed's win over Kevin Kelly

Benn v Eubank 1 and 2

Benn beating McClellan (although of course the tragedy left a very bitter taste)

Calzaghe destroying Lacy

Hatton beating Kostya

Although Hatton didn't beat Mayweather, the build up to that was monumental. The coverage it got in mainstream press, the PPV numbers the whole promotion was massive. It captivated the nation in a way that boxing can rarely do these days because for the most part its not on terrestrial tv.

I think that was a great moment. People were talking about the sport, Ricky was taking on the best and the public were behind him. I doubt I will see a british boxer in a fight of that magnitude again in my lifetime.

Sadly Ricky lost, but he gave it a bloody good go.

I was 15 when Lewis fought Ruddock, i videod it and must have watched it 50 times. I was a Lewis man from then on, he got me into boxing. I remember arguing with all my mates in school who were all Bruno fans when Lewis /Bruno fought. It was beautiful when Lewis won, great days. It took me a long time to respect Frank and what he achieved and it was heartwarming seeing him looking in such good shape with Lennox at the Haye/Audley fight.

[NazNaci1]

Honeyghan v Rosi
Graham v Kalule
Woods v Johnson (loved all of them)
Hamed v Belcastro
Hamed v Kelley (though it was a diminished version of Naz)

Loved them all, except I'm a Kostya fan:-(

wasn't it funny how Rahamn laned right inbetween the Don King logo on the canvas? lol it was destiny!!

You may think this odd, but one of my favourite moments was when Duke McKenzie won his first world title.

also Paul Hodkinson beating Villasana, Kirkland Laing beating Antoine Fernandez for the EBU title and the interview afterwards.

I was there that night. Blagged my way to the fight with Vilasana from his hotel so had divided loyalties on the night. "Hoko" would not be denied though. Great night.

Calzaghe v Kessler was a great night.

Other great nights:

Ingle V Medina
Steve Robinson V John Davison
Eubank V Carl Thompson

[NazNaci1]

I'd say probably Kell stopping Mosley or a lesser version of a WW SRL. Curry was regarded as the No1 p4p fighter in the world, scheduled or heading for a match with the 'Marvelous One'.

[jessi]

Benn v mcclenan, hatton v tyzu, have to be up there !

[NazNaci1]

I misunderstand, Macho. I have a habit of that. Stupid council workers across the road are digging god knows what up, and coming off a night shift with 3 hrs kip is not great

[saturday_kid]

I know its pretty recent but seeing Froch beat Pascal live was something special, Froch winning a world title in his hometown, great fight, great atmosphere - it was special.

[Final round]

Calzaghe publicly lashing Jeff Lacy

[Dioufy]

Froch/Taylor round 12.

[Syntax Error]

Ricky Hatton stopping Kosta Tszyu.

Great night & a brilliant performance from the other 'Hit Man'!
