    Jimmy Warnock who beat Benny Lynch twice in non-title fights deserves a mention.

    Irish Joey Archer fought some tough guys Carter,Tiger, Mims,Griffith and I thought he did enough vs Griff in fight 1 to get the title

    Bob Murphy was a rough one

    Billy Conn was great

    Mickey Walker, one of the kings of body punching

    The best Irishmen were the troika of Tunney, Conn and Loughran IMO.
