    Its a good debate of who was the best full blooded irish boxer in history
    I think in recent years it could only be steve collins or barry mcguigan but any ideas on who is the best all time

    Merry christmas

    I know he wasn't the best but Irish Mickey Ward was my favorite. Best Left hook to the body ever.
