whos going to be the next irish hope for a world title?

Carl Frampton is looking better with every performance, he definitely has the tools to get to the top.

Jamie Kavanagh is also another one to look out for, he won on Thursday night against a tough, awkward Mexican lad.

Come on Deno a tough, awkward Mexican lad Record 0-1-0 which he was stopped in now 0-2-0 where Jamie won on points...

From what i hear tho Jamie is ment to be Class

If/when Paddy Barnes turns pro, you would have to consider him up there with the best prospects.

Haven't seen any of Kavanagh yet. I know he was a quality amateur so I'm looking forward to see his career progress. He could be a real star as he is with Goldenboy and bilingual so he would appeal to Latin Americans also. If he keeps doing the business, no doubt his opportunity will arise.

McGuigan has been talking up Frampton a lot. I know he is his manager so he will talk well of him but he has even went as far to say that he hits harder and fights better than himself at that age. I've seen him spar and a few rounds, including his recent fight against Bailey, and he does look very promising.

Willie Casey isn't a world level fighter but he could manager to get to Euro level imo.

If Darren Sutherland were still around he would have gotten himself world title without a doubt imo. Perfect style for the pros.

No seriously, he was tough - he gave it a good go and had an awkward style because he was so tall, didn't have near enough to beat Jamie mind. Here is a fight report from Slapbangwhallop's new site: http://boxing-ireland.com/andy_murray_10.html

No seriously mate, the guy was decent and about a foot taller than Jamie as well. RingTV should have the fight up soon as I will post that and you can judge for yerself.

Kavanagh and Frampton are the obvious choices as Deno has pointed out, both really good, talented, committed, intelligent pro who are mature beyond their years.

Another guy I like that doesnt get much of a mention is Paddy McDonagh, one mean mudderfukka of an 18 year old. Has a brother JJ who is also a pro but I aint seen him yet.

Hyland and Brick Fists would beat Casey.

Darren is a big loss to family and the boxing community - what a waste of talent and a good guy. I'll never understand it and hopefully will never me in a position were I will.

The Jackal would school Casey but I think Big Bang would stop Hyland. Casey's style is more suited to the pro game, Hyland isn't skilled enough to outslick Casey to a points decision. It's a fight I would love to see in 2011. Irish and EU title on the line. Would be a big domestic fight.
