    OK I will put this as simple as I can. Dunne struggles with big punchers like Martinez, Dunne does not struggle with light hitting boxers with less skill and speed than him like Munroe. Ergo, Dunne beats Munroe. How is Martinez relevant in that equation?

    Like I said let's wait to see how Munroe fares when the buffet of African farmers and Italian road sweepers he has been feasting on is replaced with a dose of Toshiaki Nishioka. Let's see how smug you high visibility jacket wearing mo fos are then.:D

    I agree with Patrick P to a certain extent. I think if munroe fought Poonswat he would probably lose on points. But I still think Dunne outboxes munroe as munroe has no real power threat to Dunne despite the chin. Dunne in my opinion is a better boxer than munroe and would probably win it on points....

    You seem to be underrating Munroe quite a bit.Plus if Dunne can be got out of there in 1 by Martinez and 3 by Poonsawat,then how can you be so sure he can last 12,even against the relatively light hitting Munroe?

    You say he doesn't struggle with light hitting boxers,but when has he ever been up against a good boxer who doesn't have great power? Cordoba is the only one,and while that was a great win,Dunne did stuggle and if I remember correctly was down on points if he had got the TKO.

    I'm not saying Dunne can't or won't beat Munroe,and I'm no hater,I support most British and Irish fighters,but there's no way it's as much a foregone conclusion as you are predicting.

    im sorry but he does not have better skills than munroe, dunne wouldnt be able to dent munroe but munroe would certainly be able to dent dunne, even if dunne does have more power, rendall certainly aint no slouch

    i suppose martinez was all wrong for him as well, munroe seemed to deal with him easily enough, please enough with the excuses, i find it funny how rendalls name is always pulled through the **** when someone describes dunne

    rant over

    ps munroe beats dunne in a close fight

    The 2006 Esham Pickering is about as close in level to Munroe as anyone Dunne has ever faced. Comparing Munroe to Cordoba is utter bull****. Cordoba hits way harder than Munroe and is on a totally different level skillwise. Listen I am not saying it is a foregone conclusion but he still has all the atributes needed to beat the binman unless the war with Cordoba and last nights loss has taking it all out of him. That's the only way Munroe beats Dunne imo, if Dunne is shot after his recent fights.

    You're a sharp lad aint you :lol: Knocked out by the no 1 contender for the title and a much avoided boxer at that.

    Remind me again, who did Munroe fight last? :think

    Enough with all this smug bull**** from you binman fans, the shoe will soon be on the other foot, trust me.

    Don't know tbh .Munroe should step up I think .Don't think he's got the hunger.Think about it how many world champions do you know with day jobs.No offence he seems like a decent lad but he needs to do something .Remember he said when Dunne was fighting Cordoba he got offered but says when he fights for a world title he wants to win one not just fight for one .Think that day job could be time studying boxing and the world champions of his division

    Munroes way to smart for Dunne .... ringcraft is a great skill and Rendall knows how to read and pace a fight ! ...Lets face it Dunne is second rate - just the paddys are too blind too see it ! .....

    Obviously I know he's gone 12 before,what I'm saying is that with 2 early losses, I wouldn't be that confident of Dunne lasting 12 against any good fighter,especially if the Poonsawat and Cordoba fights have taken something from him.

    I think the Dunne V Munroe debate is quite silly in terms of the analogies and references I've seen here.

    1> "Dunne is more powerful then Munroe" - On what basis?
    2> "Munroe is more powerful then Dunne" - On what basis?
    3> "Munroe beat kiko twice so he would beat Dunne" - Invalid point, you think if Dunne beat Andy Morris the the same logic would apply. No.
    4> "Munroe has a better chin then Dunne" - the Kiko punch that landed on Dunne did not land on Munroe. Not to mention Munroe has not been in with the likes of Cordoba or Poonsawt.
    5> "Dunne has more skill then munroe" - There are 2 types of skill. Munroe has defensive skill and Dunne has attacking skill. Overall skill is the combination of both but at world class level we have not seen this enough to make that call. I think their both skillfull.
    6> "Munroe is in a much higher class then Dunne" His team turned down Cordoba which they felt he wasn't ready for. I think they know best. I emphasise the word ready by the way.
    7> "Dunne is in a much higher class then Munroe" - Munroe has not had the same amount of fights and has not stepped up to the next level yet so too soon to say.

    Over all I think it is somewhat of an unkown quantity if they meet but I really can't see it ever happening. I think their both good having seen them both plenty of times. Munroe is untested at world level but is certainly tested at European level. Cut him some slack. Dunne has had a fine run and only has 2 losses. He won a European belt and a World title. He can't be that bad. Maybe you should just enjoy both of them like I do!

    Agree with the above post, brilliant

    Munroe would have lasted and probably lost on points, i personally think Dunne is a better fighter than Munroe, bar his chin, so id give Dunne a great chance to beat Munroe..

    But i dont really care at this stage, Dunnes chin is too shaky
