    Paulie's the worst, all 'style' and no substance.

    Eddie is decent but, he's not quite got the quality to mix it at European level.
    His win over O'Hara has been disputed by some and it was a very close fight from what I hear(could have gone either way) and I think Eddie himself is of a similar level to what O'Hara is. He's very tough though, and a bigger puncher than his record may indicate.

    Patrick is the gem of the bunch though, a good all round boxer and much better than his brothers technically. He's quite quick, decent power and has a good boxing brain. He's well grounded too and knows what level he's at and where he has to go. I definitely think he could go on to win European honours but wouldn't expect him to achieve much above that.


    As for the p4p list.
    I agree with Dunne at #1, I'd have Macklin ahead of McCloskey and other than that I don't see any problems really. The Murray/Magee issue is a tough one, it's been so long since Brian fought and the level of guy he fought it's hard to argue what level he's at nowdays. Larsen will give us an indication and a win would spring him way up the rankings.

    It might have just been a mad night against Lukin for Paulie but even so, didn't impress me at all - in fact was lucky to get the nod against a very average opponent.

    Awful fighter, no stule, no fight, very little anything.

    Are the Welsh family gyppo's?

    It explain why people think they are scum. I actually quite like them.

    Don't think they are. I think two are all right. Can't remember the one i don't like i've posted about him before though. He said he was beating Dunne in sparring before the Cordoba fight and generally acts like a *****. He floored some journeyman a few times when he was on Sky and stood over him like ali against Liston

    I think it started with their fans. Lets say they lacked a little class. Then the brothers mirrored that level of class by goading fighters who were substantially inferior to them. Not a nice way to act.

    Why is this posted in the British forum? Why not the European forum?

    Seriously.

    McCloskey is superior to Dunne.

    If the Irish are so annoyed about any of their fighters being referred to as 'British' they ought to take their debate elsewhere :hey
