    Top professional, decent career and certainly in the fights that I watched gave it a real go and left it all in the ring.

    Hope he's made a decent living from the sport and can retire happy

    Always highly regarded after the number he done on Kid Galahad.

    Great little fighter who gave his all in every fight.

    Terrific wee fighter. Made up for technical weaknesses with supreme fitness, will to win and a big punch. Always great value. Great servant to our sport. Hope he has a healthy and prosperous, well deserved retirement from the sport. As mentioned by others, I hope he is worth a good few bob.

    Always loved when he came to these shores and rooted for by the brits when he fought in the usa.
    If he'd of been a brit or a yank he would of held them titles for much longer. Most of the time he did it the hard way and I suppose the cherry was the Galahad k.o.
    Hope he turns his hand to coaching now.
    Best fighter to come out of Spain.
    Legend.

    Kiko will always be my G for knocking Barry out. Derailing the Bernard Dunne hype train was enjoyable too

    I was gutted when Dunne beat Esham Pickering, he was one of our local heroes. Lovelt fella too.

    Dunne is now randomly a director for Boxing India.
