    He did that and more, but as Fra rightly stated, he should retire now, as hes had a long hard career.

    Watched the fight in a bar.Funny thing was half the people in the bar didnt realize Gomez was Irish, but they realized he was, they went wild for him especially when he dumped Khan.

    Good list slap...., but I think Jim Rock should be higher on your list.I also reckon Paul Hyland will soon be higher on your list also, after he wins the Irish title on the 5th July.The Hylands are doing grand at the moment.:yep

    If he wins next month he'll be higher but infact he probably shouldnt he on the list at all due to inactivity.

    Yeah I would like to see the Hylands, Lindsay and Haughian rise as the likes of Sinclair, Gomez, Magee etc inevitably fall

    US OLYMPIC BOXING ALTERNATE DANNY O'CONNOR TO TURN PRO IN SEPTEMBER
    http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=16204&more=1

    Does anyone have any more information on this talented Irish-American.


    Hello Sapbangwallop, I enjoyed your list.Will you be putting Jamie Moore on it, after the Egan promotion.You should probably review it again after the Lee bill, as I'm sure some of our boxers will be making a bigger impression than others over the coming weeks.
