- I daresay Tommy The Duke Morrison has more Irish in him than Ali. Need anyone defend the qualifications of Irish Jerry Quarry?

Current #1 Irish heavy is Martin Rogan unless one wishes to consider the claims of Tyson Fury

Jerry Quarry

I can not believe I left out Jerry Quarry. The irony is he was
the first name that came to mind when I started the thread !

I must be getting soft in the head.

Thanks guys.

A few others...

Tony Doyle
Bartley Madden
Paddy Slavin
Dominic McCaffrey
