john duddy, best irish boxer ever??

Looking forward to Dunne Cordoba in a fortnight . http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=87&pictureid=2907 The guy in your sig had the potential to be the best Irish fighter of all time Such a ****ing waste of talent and life.

Irish mikey ward though he was born in the states

Jimmy McLarnin and it's not even close.

Jimmy McLarnin Arghhhhh! That's what I was going to say!

you have got to remember ali and alveraz are irish

no he isent bernard dunne ,andy lee,barry magugin,darren suderland,all better

Paddy Monaghan!

For the record isn't Duddy from Derry? That's NI. Duddy is a Brit..............lol. A can of worms opens. My parents are from County Kerry in case I get lambasted. But yeah Limerick boy Lee would Knock Duddy out. **** knows what happened vs Vera, duddy is no brit would you stop, he wears the shamrock and carries the tri colour down, thats no brit!!!! na this cleary does not count irish americans cause that would then include nearly every white american boxer, actually even ali claimed his great granny was irish, i know he is not the greatest yet but if he goes on to beat pevlic and a few other big names i think he could be

Yeah you're right, but I guess he's part of the contingent who refuse to believe that they are actually in the UK. He does everything he can to say he's from Ireland and get the Irish flag out there (like Martin Rogan is doing). Like Eamonn Magee used too as well. It makes not difference really. Though belonging to the republic is probably more marketable especially in America.

Andy Lee would probably kill him, that's without reaching back in history.

Does Jimmy McLarnin count? He was born in Northern Ireland as was John Duddy. Read up on his resume, he went from beating Pancho Villa at bantamweight to knocking out the reigning welterweight champion in one round.

This should be called ''John Duddy, Most popular irish fight now?''. Wayne McCullough is the best or maybe just my favorite. I think James Moore and Lee are better fighters, Johns exciting to watch but best ever? I hope not.

I would even rank Wayne McCullough over John Duddy for now. http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=004985&cat=boxer

Are we counting Irish Americans? In which case Duddy doesnt even make the top 20. James Corbett Jack Dempsey Jack Dempsey (Nonpareil) Billy Conn Steve Collins Tommy Lughran Mike & Tommy Gibbons Irish Bob Murphy Johnny Kilbane Terry McGovern Tommy Ryan Barry McGuigan Gene Tunney Paddy Duffy Mickey walker John L Sullivan

It really doesn't say much about our boxing that Duddy can be considered by people our best ever boxer. Hopefully Sutherland is the future :boxing: Rinty Monaghan was the world flyweight champion in the 40's when there was only one world title. And of course Steve Collins must get a nod.

Jimmy McLarnin

Calestino Caballero is boxrec's best no.1 superbantamweight in the world and cordoba's beat him , so it'll be a hard night for Dunne but I hope he produces the performance of a lifetime with all his fans behind him http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=37322&cat=boxer

yeah should be a good fight alright, egan is gone on a mad one and pulled out haha, bit of fame and he loses the plot wha?? how do you think dunne will get on?? I think if he digs deep he might he be able to get a decision but it'll be a hard night for him because Cordoba is a world class opponent ,he has never been stopped and the only loss on his record is a split decision . If he avoids the big punches I think he'll do alright
