    Zsolt Bedak has the most unfullfilled potential amongst the SBW division....looks useful and HUngary do produce there share of quality performers....

    Munroe better than Dunne .... as Martinez proved Dunne is exposed ....

    Yes because when A beats B, and A loses to C, then C automatically beats B.

    Proven last night when Cotto beat Mosley, Margarito beat Cotto and Margarito........lost to Mosley :huh.......nevermind, I guess that theory is ridiculous.

    Anyway Mayhar Monshipour stopped Sean Hughes in 8 rounds last night, it's only been 7 weeks since his last fight when he beat the Italian Bantamweight champion. Good that Monshipour is keeping active and hopefully shedding some rust. At least I hope rust was the reason he took so long to stop Hughes, in his prime he'd put Hughes away within 3 rounds max.

    I'd say Munroe, though none are stand out.

    I like Dunne, he's a good boxer, but he's had hand problems and just doesn't have the power to keep guys off him, and doesn't have the chin to take punishment, which is why the Kiko Martinez fight went the way it did.

    Munroe doesn't have great power either, but he's a decent body puncher and that can make a guy think twice about going gung-ho, and he took Kiko's best punches aswell.

    Munroe has the ability and style to make people think about how they are going to try to beat him.

    Dunne, whilst having a more rounded skillset, simply lacks the power to back people up, and the chin to take big shots.

    A fight between the two would certainly be an interesting affair, but Munroe has a better chance of competing against the elite names.

    Neither has any chance imo, Dunne's only chance was if someone like Mike Oliver had managed to grab a title and Munroe's chance left the day he was born. No offence to either fighter but neither could compete with a true top 10 fighter in the division which is probably(imo) the strongest in the World.
    It just doesn't get the same credit as Lightweight or Welterweight because of how low down it is and some people have a thing against the 'small guys'.

    Munroe hasn't a hope in hell of ko'ing Dunne. Munroe is big yes but has no power to speak of. To hurt Dunne he has to outbox him which he has no chance of doing as Dunne is simply the better boxer, I don't care where you come from or who you support but you can't deny that fact!
    Dunne's chin is not as shaky as you guys, who have only seen his ko at the hands of Martinez, may believe. He has taken some decent shots in his fights and has not been overly effected by them.
    Although Munroe is EBU champ he is not on Dunne's level technically nor does he have any real power, Dunne has more of a dig to his punches than Munroe.
    Size means nothing, look at the guys Dunne fought in the US, he fought some big guys and he crushed them.

    You can talk all you want about your Irish boy, but its just talk. The facts are your guy got done in 1 round by Martinez, and Munroe beat him. So there is very much a case for Munroe being better.

    That is a very most simple minded view of boxing! Martinez got lucky against Dunne, Munroe beating him is no big achievement.
    By your logic any boxer who beats Martinez is better than Dunne! Get real, your lack of knowledge about how boxing works is astounding!
    Give me one fact that proves that Munroe is better than Dunne, other than the fact that Munroe beat the one dimensional Martinez, cos I can give you countless reasons why he is not.

    But the point you seem to continuously miss is that YOU were the one that said there is no way Munroe can be the best, as if anybody that thinks he might be is ridiculous. I've given you a very simple reason why that is horse manure of the highest order.

    So that woud be a No then, you can't give me a reason why you think Munroe is better than Dunne, thought so!
    Munroe is simply not the best in Europe, that is a fact. He does not impress in his bouts.His level of opposition is very poor and he lets even average fighters like Trotta get the better of him at times.
    Your simplistic view that if A beats B, and C beats A, then C is automatically better than B, tells me that you are either a Munroe fan who can't admit that he is quite limited or you don't have an understanding of boxing because that is not how it works.
    If Munroe was truly better than Dunne then he would have put his money where his mouth is and took the fight which was offered to him 3 times but he didn't!

    Noob please. Telling me I don't know **** about boxing. I won the prediction league for this forum last year, so unless I got as much "luck" as Martinez against Dunne I'm not sure how that happened. God damn ignorant ass noobs.

    I didn't even make a prediction on who would win between Dunne and Munroe. All I said was that it is certainly debateable, due to both of their best opponents being a common factor, and the fact that Munroe actually beat him and Dunne did not.
