McCullough - Dunne

Prime 4 Prime McCullough was no world beater but he was miles better than Dunne. McCullough TKO 9

 

Dunne would win the early rounds but would quickly get disheartened by McCulloughs relentless pressure and succumb to an eights round ko

 

McCullough would walk right through him and break that glass jaw in half.

 

This shouldn't be close. Fight wouldn't last three rounds. McCullough has too much power and too good of a chin.

 

McCullough - pretty easy. Dunne simply isn't good enough to box round WM and he doesn't hit hard enough to discourage. Stoppage 5-7

 

McCullough by mid to late stoppage. Too much pressure. He wa one very good boxer back in his day.

 

mccullogh by ko.

 

Dunne could box rings around Wayne McCullough, you are all putting too much emphasis on Dunne's chin & conveniently forgetting his skills. McCullough was not a puncher, he was pretty well known for being featherfisted actually. McCullough's best wins came at bantamweight, Dunne's at super bantamweight so Dunne would arguably be the stronger of the two, so the idea that McCullough would ko Dunne easily is ludicrous.

McCullough's chin was his saving grace, if it were not for his inexplicable ability to absorb punishment he would not have lasted the distance against Larios ,Harrison, Morales & Hamed. He was being soundly outboxed by all 4 remember.

When McCullough was in training for his WBC title defense against Jose Luis Bueno in 1996, a 15 year old amateur by the name of Bernard Dunne was one of his sparring partners! So obviously McCullough rates Dunne a lot higher than the majority of ESB posters!

 

19-3 in mcculloughs favor lobsided decision.

 

Dunne hits harder than McCullough ever did. McCullough was not a big hitter by any stretch. Dunne UD.

 

True,McCullough had little power but a granite chin.Dunne would never been able to keep him off.I think Wayne would have worn him down by the 8th or 9th

 

I disagree, Dunne has more than enough skill to outbox McCullough, he wouldn't have stopped Wayne but on the flip side McCullough just never had the kind of power to trouble Dunne.

McCullough is overrated because of the level of competition he faced but like I said, he was easily outboxed by all the top level opponents he faced.
