    Hello Cormac, a fight between these two would be tremendous for Irish boxing. A real 50/50 grudge fight between two guys at the top of their game. This contest would have to take place in Ireland.

    I would love to see this fight happening. I know Moore would take it but maybe Coyles management think it is too early? It would be a fantastic fight though!
    Really good for the fans

    Know a lot of Coffey, he shares my birthday, January 16th(he's a mite older!)
    He was a top contender in the mid-1910's and beat a slew of good contenders. A big (for his time) HW with a good punch and skills, but his chin was brittle. He got within one fight of a title shot with Willard(whom he might have beaten) but Frank Moran put his lights out. He came home to Ireland from the States and worked the home farm.

    I've seen him box a few times. I dont want to be too critical, but he aint the next heavyweight champ:rofl:rofl, but he might get a crack at the Irish title, although he will be hard pushed to win that also.
