Eubank v Benn 1 is still very special to me, I remember it like it was yesterday.

Live - I'd have to say Robinson v Hamed. Went there as a teenager supporting Steve but was electrifying performance by Naz, left me speechless.

Was about to make that same comment myself - BELTER!

I dont think either Deroux or Murphy were ever in bad fights were they??

I am sure I should have an old VHS of that floating around somewhere at home. Would love to find it again!

Michael Brodie v Neil Swain was a hell of a fight with a great ending too.

Michael Ayers v Wayne Rigby 1, hands down the best fight in a British ring for me.

Walker v Fearon was pretty good too.

Eubank vs Benn 2 for atmosphere and hype.

For the contest it has to be Benn vs McClellan.

Brodie-Chi I and Mutley-Anderson are the best high-profile fights i've seen live.

However, i have seen a couple of fights on dinner shows that rank higher than those two.

Simon Sherrington-Manoo Salari in 2005 (six-round draw) in Brum was amazing. As way Joe McCluskey-Ali Wyatt (Wyatt, TKO5) in Brum in January. I've never seen two better fights, in terms of toe-to-toe, blood-and-guts fighting, in my life.

Wenton v Lloyd ,
Richie was supposed to be finished, but he won in Lloyds backyard.

Both boxers put it all on the line in this one, they could hardly stand at the end.

Have you ever seen his fight with the great Salvador Sanchez? What a battle. Pat proved himself to be a true warrior that night.

If the fight had been a 12-rounder then Pat would have got the nod. As it was, it was a split decision.

However, Pat has told me he didn’t think it was his best performance; he thinks the European title defence against Sepp Iten (a twelfth-round stoppage) was his best.
