Does anybody know if Garry Delaney has been released from prison yet? I seen a post Kevin Mitchell put up on twitter last week and it looked like he was standing next to Delaney with a massive beard.

The World champions at Light Heavyweight in the mid- late 1990s were unreal fighters. Michalczweski was unbeaten for 10 years as champ and he defeated Piper and Prince for World titles as well as Noel Magee for an inter-continental title. Roy Jones was one of the greatest Light Heavys in history imo...

Sorry I meant Prince v Gale not Wright.

I've seen a lot of fights on YouTube recently from the 1990's and I noticed how many quality light heavyweights there were in the 1990's. None of them were able to win a world title though. I recently watched on YouTube. Crawford Ashley v Nicky Piper Mark Prince v Monty Wright Noel Magee v Garry Del...

Which stable of boxers do you think is the best ever in British/Irish boxing history. Obvious ones I can think of are Ingle camp (Sheffield), Champs Camp (Manchester) Newbridge Calzaghe (Wales) but in my opinion the Eastwood camp in Belfast between mid 80's t0 mid 90's has to be number 1.

I thought that yesterdays Ringside episode was really good and it went into a detailed history of Irish boxing. However it does frustrate me that certain fighters were being mentioned as Irish greats when others never got a mention. Obviously the 10-12 World champions that have hailed from Ireland a...

What would happen if these Irish boxers faced eachother in their primes? Heres my views. Heavyweight: Martin Rogan v Kevin McBride (McBride points) Heavyweight: Danny McAlinden v Gordon Ferris (McAlinden early KO) Cruiserweight: Darren Corbett v Ian Tims (Corbett late KO) Light Heavyweight: Noel Mag...

Im watching allegedly tonight and I cant believe Richard Keys lack of understanding in boxing. He is so arrogant in his approach to asking questions. He was given a job on the back of football career but personally I really dnt like his constant laughing and lack of enthusiasm for boxing. Any though...

I think Magee was one of the most underrated counter punchers of his generation. McCloskey throws shots from very unorthodox angles and I just feel Magee would have caught him with heavy shots and caused a stoppage.

Who would win between these two Irish Light-Welterweights in their primes?

Yeah after the 4 world champions Toney, Griffen, Sosa, Del Valle, Jose Gomez, Duran Williams (not sure what he did), also former champ Mike McCallum as well.

The rankings were from Boxing Illustrated summer 1995. Also the Boxing news had Piper at number 5 in Britain before the Magee fight behind Ashley, Core, Magee and Delaney. Also Piper had only won 3 of his last 6 fights, 2 defeats against the fighters you mentioned (also lost to Ashley by 1 and a hal...

These were the summer rankings before Piper had beaten Magee to win Commonwealth title.

A really good set of fighters from this year in Europe. An IBF champion, WBC champion, WBO champion and every other fghter had won a title of some sort. Any thoughts? 1. Henry Maske (IBF Champion) 2. Fabrice Tiozzo (WBC Champion) 3. Dariusz Michalczeswki (WBO champion) 4. Eddy Smulders (European Cha...

Eamonn Magee. Shot, Stabbed, beaten plus an excellent fighter. Enough said.

Never used to like Chris Eubank or Naseem Hamed as a kid, but now appreciate how good they were. Especially the heary that Eubank had.

No Danny McAlinden??

Hattons (Ricky, Matthew) 4. Turpins (Randolph, Dick) 5. Smiths (Paul, Callum, Stephen, Liam) 6. London's (Brian, Jack...
