    it's cool mate,but mccloskey behind andy lee,come on, you can't possibly believe that at this time?andy lee is only a prospect while mccloskey has stepped into the staple of legitimate contender.he has fought and deployed with ease a much higher standard of competition than arguably anyone on that list.

    the cracks have been there for a while - the Merchado fight told us nothing. I fear you could be fight. TBH no Irish fighter fills me with confidence

    i would rank patrick 11th as he is now a title holder who defeated a reasonably respected paul griffin in impressive style.

    a little permature - but I hear he is due to fight in Tallaght soon - I'll do a wikipedia page for him and see he makes it to the list then - I'm sure he'll be delighted :lol:

    actually he's 6-1 with 6 KO's. Granted he's possibly got the worst record on the list but he's explosive and I like his style.

    Not having a go at Patrick or any of the Hylanders but apart from his win last night has Patrick ever beaten a fighter with a postive record.

    Also the only time I've seen Eddie fight was the Mullin fight and I am hoping that that was a very off day.

    well i know eddie took that fight with mullen at very short notice!! eddie was meant to be just a stepping stone for o hara! But he had beaten him before in the amateurs.

    maybe the opponents have posed no threat but the talent is there!!
    personally speaking paul in my opinion is the best of the lot.

    i know what your saying about coyle i was there the night he won the all ireland senior title. He is great to watch.

    Most of the opposition last night had terrible records.These young boxers need to be tested better and matched up with fighters who have a pulse not a collection of stiffs
