Dave boy Green v Jean-Baptiste Piedvache

Not British but British based Avanesyan's two wins in Bilbao against Lejarraga were quality.

More recently Danny Macintosh going away and winning the EBU title was a great win

It's a shame Green couldn't stay down at light-welterweight, where he was brutal.

Its fair to say its harder to win a euro belt than a world title in some cases

Depends, winning a vacant belt on home soil if often easier than winning the British.

On the other hand going into a champs backyard, esp for a voluntary is a diff thing.

Nevertheless you are def right going abroad to beat the euro champ has been a much bigger job than winning many world titles.

John H, Stracey beating Roger Menetrey, and Kevin Finnegan beating Jean-Claude Bouttier - on the same night, in Paris.
Both the Brits were underdogs and both won decisively. I watched it live on CCTV at the Leicester Sq. Odeon. One of the happiest days of my life.

Jason Cook sticks out for me, went in on short notice and produced a one punch knockout when under a lot of pressure.

Brutal

Those cctv nights at the cinema were brilliant.
