1. McCloskey
2. Lee
3. Magee
4. Duddy
5. Lindsay
6. Dunne
7. Macklin

I don't know enough about the rest, but I hear good things about Hyland.

Brian Magee above Bernard Dunne! not sure about that

[TFFP]

Dunne has a china chin. On boxing ability he should be higher, but the reality of the situation is his Glass Jaw will be shattered all over the ring against top operators.

Doesn't this belong in the European forum?

yeah I thought that that was the only way forward.

Also I think that its informative as well because it shows the diversity of boxer around Ireland - and Ulster dominance! :cool:

[mrplow182]

Sutherland should get in there after a few fights hopefully

Belfast being the mecca of pro boxing in Ireland!

hopefully Dean Byrne will get on some of the espn shows so we can watch him over here!

hopefully yeah but has a bit to go before that happens

there is only one Belfast man in the top ten, and only three in the top 20! ;)

Rico? :hi:

[TFFP]

If Rico knew of Dunne he would murder him. He has a Glass Jaw, one of the worst in British boxing.

McCloskey is the real deal. The White Pernell Whitaker :smoke

4-Duddy
5-Macklin
6-Lindsey
7-Magee
8-Sutherland (ya i know)
9-Gomez

3-Dunne
4-Duddy
5-Macklin
6-Lindsey
7-Magee
8-Sutherland (ya i know)

[Healy]

Top 6 are spot on Healy

[slapbangwhallop]

Id go.....

1-McCloskey
2-Lee
3-Dunne
4-Duddy
5-Macklin
6-Lindsey
7-Magee
8-Sutherland (ya i know)
9-Gomez
10-Coyle/Murray

How can you have Duddy that low?? to be honest thats a joke!

[Healy]

How can you have Duddy that low?? to be honest thats a joke!
WHAT!!!

Why would he be ANY higher?

Have you seen him, have you actually seen him fight?

The 3 ahead of him have the all important word in ability, between them have 2 loses and in comparision to Duddy say Andy Lee looks world class..:lol:

I like Duddy but the only thing he has going for him at the moment (last 5-6 fights) is A)Chin and heart and B) 0 loses

You cannot rate him ahead of the other 3, what has he achieved?

You can say Lee hasnt done much, but he has skills for sure..

Christ man

[stevieb]

Brian Magee above Bernard Dunne! not sure about that
what about jamie moore? i know he`s english but he`s an irish champ(due to his irish ma) he ko`d macklin in 1 of the best fights av seen +is a very underated & unlucky fighter + is better than most(if not all) other irish fighters! wit dae ye think?

[stevieb]

Id go.....

1-McCloskey
2-Lee
3-Dunne
4-Duddy
5-Macklin
6-Lindsey
7-Magee
8-Sutherland (ya i know)
9-Gomez
10-Coyle/Murray
ever heard of a guy(all irish champ) called jamie moore?(i know he`s english, but he`s better than that lot):bbb

[Healy]

The Moore than fought Macklin and Jones?
He would fit in about 3rd...

[Beeston Brawler]

Duddy isn't that good, simple as that.

I know Jamie and saw the Macklin fight as well as a number of other and I am going to see his next fight in Wigan as well.

Yes he fought for an Irish title but he doesnt consider himself Irish unlike Macklin - thats the reason he's not on the list - good fighter though! :good

[Steve Fox]

..Not a bad list, but there's a few I'd swap round.

[slapbangwhallop]

Christ man

I've seen ALL his fights since 2006.

You are right to point out that he is unbeaten and that is one of the primary reasons he is at the top. He has the best chance of gaining a legit world title.

Lee is still coming of an embarassing naive defeat against Vera, Dunne still has the "glass jaw" question hanging over his head and although McCloskey was my fighter of the year I think Duddy has fought and beaten tougher and better foes that McCloskey has yet to face.

[slapbangwhallop]

Not a bad list, but there's a few I'd swap round.

like which ones Steve?

[greengloves]

1)Duddy
2)McCloskey
3)Dunne
4)Lee
5)Macklin
6)Lindsay
7)Magee
8)James Moore
9)Andrew Murray
10)Michael Gomez

how anyone can have Lee ahead of Duddy at this moment in time is beyond me, take Lee's fight with Vera, certainly his most memorable fight, he got dragged into a war and came out battered and defeated, duddy has fought better operators in eastman and campas and come out on top.you can say whatever you want about ability, but if he doesn't put it into practice he cannot be above duddy.
mccloskey is simply the most skillful irish boxer around at the minute and can make a huge impact on the european scene and maybe secure a world title shot although it will be extremely difficult.
dunne has fought the much better opposition that lee and has won a major title and recovered brilliantly from being 'exposed' by martinez, i'm very confident he could beat munroe in style if the fight happens.
anyone who puts sutherland in their top10 is having a fucking laugh, he doesnt deserve to be near the top10 yet, yes he has the ability but he's had one fight so wise the fuck up!

great to see 2 Derry men topping the top 10!

pretty much the same as mine if we swapped Gomez and Andy Murray.

I agree about Sutherland - BUT he has the potential to shoot into the top ten within six months or a year imo. Time will tell

hopefully maloney will keep him active I'll be looking forward to him upping his level of competition
