sutcliffe
moylette
mclaughlin
gallagher
maybe o'neill and quigley maybe not
ward
sheehan
will all go pro at some stage

 

hes taylor made
and i know this isnt always the case but i beleive talent wise
alot not all mind you if good ams theyll be good pros with a coupleof exceptions who lack the power and the chin to make it in the pro game

 

If even half of those lads went pro at some stage we would have a fair few good pro prospects to follow.

 

weve also got mccarthy and ward and not forgetting taylor wholl be big buisness in the states if she can get gold in london

 

I think half of the ones you listed to turn pro is more realistic than all of the ones listed. Theres a few lads there that would not be suitable to the pro game id say:think

Rumour become reality for Lee and Rogan

look at how many pros weve got that were good ams at the time they turned
thats not even half that number
by good ams i mean at least senior champs

 

He should definitely go pro. Has the perfect style. Tommy McCarthy is another who I think might make the big step. He's slick and to be fair he seems to be getting a lot stronger. He could make a very powerful, quick cruiserweight.

There could be a couple from the flyweight division to make the move. I know they are all young, but my guess is that Phelan, Conlon, Burnett won't want to have a titanic battle on their hands each year in the seniors just to make the elite squad. It could be either of the three on any given year that wins the seniors.

How many boxers per weight can get paid under the grant system? For example, in the LW category, are Mcdonagh Joyce and Donovan all being paid by the sports council?

 

Does anyone know why Ross Hickey has not travelled to the World military championships? I know he has the box-offs coming up but this would still be good preparation. Bouhenia (Egan's foe) and Vastine are there with the French team, even though the worlds are just around the corner...

 

When I say not suitable, I dont mean that they dont have the talent, just that their style not might transfer well to the pro game. For instance, I always thought Kenny Egan would have made a better am than a pro.

 

I wonder who will get to go to the worlds, Hickey or Moylette? Its a tough choice.

 

They say that Tommy Hardwick is the first but Seamas McDonough won a golden gloves championship, Unless I'm having a false memory, cause I saw the fight, and I swear it was the heavyweight final.:huh

 

Got to be moylette for me,he took his oppurtunity and repaid the faith ten fold,At international level this guy is brilliant a world and euro gold medal says it The problem they have (the iaba) is if they ask him to box off they will have to ask Ward and they dont want that.Let them both have a lash at first qualifying via the world championships they deserve that for what they have done and i believe the seniors will be on before the other qualifiers so that team will sort itself out.

 

I have trebled checked- and they all keep telling me Tommy is the first.

By all accounts he has a massive Irish support on the show
