With another six pages torn from the calendar, it is time again to reassess the progress boxers of the Emerald Isle have been making. Over the last six months Irish boxing has certainly been subjected to the high highs and low lows that our beloved pugilistic arts can deliver. We gained two new European champions in Matthew Macklin and Paul McCloskey but lost the world title belonging to Bernard Dunne and, more significantly, there was the tragic passing of Darren Sutherland.

Have a look at the date on the article brother! All in good time. These things can be rushed.

All feedback is welcomed for the new list though.

p.s. for the record Dunne will be removed from the list - none of this waiting around 6 months after retirement is announced pish for me!

Does that mean Steve Collins is not on the list Sligo?

not unless I watch the boxset of him battering both Eubank AND Benn TWICE and get a rush of blood to the head then I'd say I'll be leaving him off mate!!! ;)
