Best Ever Single British Win?

First topic message reminder :

Was just wondering, what do you reckon the single greatest British win ever was, I mean you perhaps have to take into account the scale of upset, or how great the victory is in terms of how great the opponent was, taking into account the prime of the opponent etc. etc.

Probably missed a few off, but here are some suggestions -

Lennox Lewis Over Evander Holyfield - The draw between the pair previous takes some shine off the fight, and the fact that most see the second fight which was a win for Lewis as actually closer than the first contest also takes a bit off for him also. HOWEVER, at the time Holyfield was riding a wave after taking out Mike Tyson in style and then the controversy of the second fight known as the bite fight and then avenging his loss to Moorer flooring him 5 times.

Lloyd Honeyghan Over Don Curry - Not many gave Honeyghan any form of chance against Curry who was at the time seen as one of the very best fighters on the planet and moving into an area where he could be talked about among the very greatest ever it was seeming. Honeyghan stopped Curry in 6 rounds making it one of the biggest upsets ever.

Joe Calzaghe over Jeff Lacy - This was just about a 50/50 fight, Lacy did very little afterwards, however the actual lopsidedness of this fight was staggering. One of the worst beatdowns of a supposedly world class fighter you could watch really. It's not quite at the very top in terms of wins due to the fact that Lacy never had any incredible wins himself and did very little afterwards, but the nature of the fight and how Joe performed brings it up there, winning every round at a canter.

Ken Buchanan Over Ismael Laguna - Most felt that Laguna would prevail over Buchanan back in the early 70's however Buchanan stunned Puerto Rico when he won a close but fair decision over him making Buchanan one of the most revered lightweights in the world at the time. He would go on and rematch Laguna only to beat him more comfortably than the first.

Hamed Over Kelly - One of my favorite ever fights and Hameds most important victory sign posted as to why when George Foreman got something right in the commentary position for once. "He's for real!! The Prince is for real!!"

I'm probably missing some easy corkers to be honest but putting this up at like 5am! Can't think of many, what's your guys' views?

Really?

He's only got about 4 to pick from in the first place.

Yes, with Lacy around 3rd or 4th best.
