    Non-white Brit vs an Irishman?


    Suppose so, yeah. That's about it though

    see no reason why another Irish fighter heavily ranked as an underdog can't beat another overhyped english fighter like Collins did twice against Eubank and twice against Benn :hey

    Love it :D

    But I think you might be wrong you'd be suprised how many Boxing "experts" on here claim that Steve Collins is from the UK, personally I thought he was Irish but I think we're wrong.

    Or maybe Khan will bounce him off the canvas 3 times in the first round like another former Olympian did to a mediocre over hyped Irish fighter.

    Some of us Brits might not rate Collins victories over an aging Benn and Eubank any more than we rate JCs victory over RJJ. But equally a lot of the 'Irish' boxing experts seem to think that this is the only occasion a Brit ever dared to fight an Irishman.

    As an aside i would not be saddened if Khan lost, to your boy, the next or the one after. Or even all 3

    I hope Dudey wins but the irony is ripping out of your post here, come on, the Irish invented this when they started the trend by claiming everyone had an Irish granny etc with their football team :rofl

    kettle black pot !

    Youre talking about 100% Irish people that wanted to play for Ireland (like typical paddy Paul McGrath, Mick McCarthy etc) and qualified to...wheres the irony? ;)...and whats that got to do with the current boxing boxing match?

    Im glad you want Dudey to beat that english devil though!...btw have you ever thought of playing football for Ireland?

    A lot of Scottish and Irish decended from the same people...[useless fact time] in fact the Romans called Scotland Scotti Land because of the Scotti (gaelic speakers from Ireland and Scotland dal Raida/Dal Raaita etc that were controlling and linguistically and culturally influencing most of Scotland and parts of Ireland by then....probably why were all so good lookin in Ireland and Scotland...and share similar language, music, drink...and hatred of the english!) so can ye play fitba?...we might need some new blood for the Irish team

    BTW i think it sounds funny as **** when you see someone Chinese with a broad Scottish or Irish accent
