i think he has great potential, if he was american or english he would be massively hyped!

i think lewis would have jabbed and moved his way to victory. in ihs prime tyson used a very very low bob and weave approach and i think with lewis height it would have made tyson fight mor eupright and therefore more hittable with lewis jab

no chance of a show in coleraine then lol yes definately so many good boxers around , wilton was simply to small at the weekend! hopefully alio can get more show son and maybe as mentioned above a deal with bbc or something and you could see a lot more of our top amateurs turning pro at home

i dont think ist fair to criticize eubanks opponent! admittedly hearns fought the better fighters but that is a 1 off standard of fighters throughout boxing history. i reckon eubank could have kept a good pressure on throughout and dazzled hearns with angles. but dont get me wrong it would be a clos...

4 shows in next 4 months. Whereas most cities in England will have at least double this.

i would have went for eubnak pts

Sorry mate should have clarified Northern Ireland. We have nothing lol

Irish amteur boxing is thriving and our boxers often do well on the international stage. However there is no real depth in our professional ranks? No regular shows , no shows outside of Belfast and very few managers or promoters.

Any thoughts on why this is?

This would be a good fight, probably at either middle or super middle (even light heavy at their later days)

complete mis-match there are very few of an era who could live with tommy hearns and paul williams is nowhere enar that standard.

who cares lol
morrison would win every round behind jab. not a great mtachup at any stage in their careers

As far as the lack of shows, dont think boxing is as popular here anymore. it is hard for promotors to sell tickets to shows as it is especially outside the big cities. Another problem is that fighters often dont help themselves. Not enough fighters do the gameshows, chat shows etc. Even writing rep...

Toney might have frustrated bowe a bit and if bowe lost his concentration he may have been beatable - but i wouldnt have bet on toney!

just being looking at nortons record and i know it was a time when heavyweights were still good but excluding the ali win most of the big names beat him?
i will point out i have only ever seen a couple of norton fights so i might not be the best judge

tua was on top of his game then too which even at a close fight makes it a fairly impressive win.

Tua fight was a cracker but i think he definately won and chris byrd was still at a good level when ike beat him.

Could he have been a dominant world champion?

ken norton would win fairly one sided points win , cant imagine it would be great to watch though!

Chris John - think he was a karate black belt and went on to win world titles record of close to 50 wins before getting beat I think Anthony Mundine played rugby and there is another New Zealand or Australian heavyweight who played international rugby at the minute. And let snot forget freddy flinto...

*allegedly

thanks mate, will gaining muscle not put on weight though? delaing with the fine margins of our weight classes?

You dont need big names to make good fights lads! mayweather the biggest name in the sport is in dull fights that headline sky at least woodhouse will come for a fight

i agree its great keeps the casual fans who wont pay for boxrec and pay per view fights viewing. all it takes is a couple of good fights and any boxer can generate a good following

I reckon as both were big puncher swith good chins it would come down to heart and marciano possibly having a bigger punch. Marciano with a late stoppage
(this includes marcianos tendancy to cut and frazier to swell)

Is it possible to take protein as a recovery drink/ supplement without putting on weight? I know this is possible, but is it realistic to do without having to run for miles and miles every day and still make weight?
