    I watched this great documentary on Bernard Dunne the other day aswell as his fight with Cordoba and I am really impressed with him, what a fighter! I like his style and am impressed with his skills, his power and amazing heart! He is in a very tough division though and maybe his chin could let him down but he is far from glass jawed and in another division I'm sure he could rule. I'm excited to see more from him and I hope he gets the big fights. Maybe I am getting a little over excited but I felt that more people should be made aware of him here. I have definitely become a fan!

    You have my backing on this. It's a clear betrayal of the unwritten ESB constitution.

    Dunne is a nice guy but he wont be at the top for long. (Not that he is a World champion anyway, but thats alphabet soup for you...)

    Juan Manual Lopez would take him out in 1 as would Cabllero. An also ran like Ponce de Leon would take him out within a few rounds and even Rendall Monroe would box rings around him. He should make an easy defence back in Dublin to make a bit of money then lose his title to somone like Lopez for even more.

    Funny, why? Because I don't rate somebody you do? If you don't think both Lopez and Caballero would destroy Dunne then you only like him because he is Irish or you haven't seen the other two fight...

    I bet you even think that he really is a World Champion :patsch

    I was talking about the Munroe would box rings around him comment, that's funny!

    I know well what the situation with the WBA belt is, so I guess you would lose that bet wouldn't you.

    So what is the situation with the WBA in his division? I know that the WBA are in all kinds of madness at the moment.

    O.k. then...

    I thought you were laughing at my Lopez/Caballero predictions.

    Munroe is a better boxer than people give him credit for. Dunne is a decent boxer but, IMHO, Munroe is better. The only way I can see Dunne winning this fight is if the atmosphere gets to Munroe. If it's in England Dunne loses.

    That's your opinion but I have seen nothing from Munroe which would indicate that he is better than Dunne, the only thing he has over Dunne is size, that's it.

    And that's what makes boxing so great... Until they get into the ring to fight each other (If they do!) we'll never know...
