    Make no mistake, none of us Brits will claim to have better boxers than the US. We have five world champions and I won't bother to count how many they have. I think they probably produce more champs per person too but I can't be bothered to work out whether that is actually true.

    :rofl :rofl cool mate,i was just trying to put some perspective on the blatant jingoism expressed by some.im irish and i dont claim john duddy is the best mw in the world,nor do i believe that someone like gavin rees is a legitimate world champion.

    true, but the fact is i am BIG Haye fan and hat ethe fact that Enzo's going to get a cheap win - due to weight issues. :(

    hope i am very wrong, ill be screaming my lungs out for david to get him early.

    Enzo is a much improved fighter though, and has good stamina.

    I hope Hatton stops messing around and fights Witter. That's a fight I wouldn't mind travelling across the Irish sea to watch.

    in my opinion ricks not had a meaningful win in a while, id say his last was carlos m. Rick appears to have forgotten how to box, and he actually used to be a good boxer, now he just mauls.

    I am still a fan, but getting sorly dissapointed by his performaces of late (with the exception of the first 6 rounds against urango where i thought he was excellent).

    I know what you mean. I'd hate for Enzo and FW to get a win over a weight drained Haye. Especially after all the crap FW writes about it in his column.

    i was waiting for you to come along.would love to see duddy take on someone like elcock or lockett!i even think lee could dispatch of them in dominant fashion at this point in his career.actually i only think theres 5 mws i wouldnt be confident lee could beat already.

    I would like to see Duddy take on these fighters as well, but it seems June7th is the date for Duddy/Pavlik. So start saving your pennies. My suitcase is packed already. Make sure to light a candle for him closer to the date.

    thats me mothers job lol i grew up being regaled of storys of me ma lighting candles for barry mcguigan,then steve collins and ray close.i was only a kid when ray close was fighting eubank but i still was swinging from the rafters of me auntys house in support of him,probably in a drunken state from sneaking around drinking the left over harp and guiness.
    thats 2 weeks before me 21st so it may get subsidised to an extent,need to get a job though.
