Best Of All Time: British Boxers 4/5

[cstrait]

mcguigan fought a lot on belfast, so people forget he's not northern irish

[illhaveadouble]

Barry McGuigan was a brilliant boxer, a lovely person and a fantastic ambassador for both Irish and British boxing. He fought for and won British titles, but never forgot his Irish roots. Im English, and always remember him with great pride and affection.

[parvez243]

great boxers don't necessarily make good judges, most are not.

[malcjow]

HOW DID GLEN McCLORY MANAGE TO GET ON THIS SHOW - HE WAS`NT ANY GOOD.

[kirkbyla]

[bricksalegend]

[dhlfh]

Well he was a world champion,and a pro boxer which is more than can be said for the rest of the people sitting at the table..

[dan32113]

@dhlfh Apart from geordie Glen McCrory IBF Crusierweight World Champion in 1989. oops your knowledge is poor! LOL

[chaseybears]

@malcjow Why do you have to be a world champ to be any good! Which he was...he wasnt great, but he was good!

[garmla]

[ed31338]

[essexboy240]

Fair enough Barry McGuigan is shit and everyone in Britain hates him because he's an Irish twat, happy?

[boldertits]

To increase role models for british children, also money.

[scootboy2]

[DaveyboyDavey]

John Conteh was a brilliant boxer. but fame just went to his head, he was involved with the wrong people.

[jt130991]

barry mcguigan was from clones county monaghan ireland...its in ulster not northern ireland so he is in fact an irish legend not british

[TALIBANBOYOreturns]

Well you have to let the Irish have the odd legend - god knows they are a bit short of them in terms of boxing.

[gregluland]

@jt130991 Les Darcy is Australian, but I've heard of Irishmen who claimed him The PRIDE of IRELAND, ditto for Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and many others. Irish D.N.A. was always a plus for a fighter. Darcy was a top 50 fighter of all time, despite the fact that Bert Sugar has forgotten him. See what the Irishman Jack Dempsey said about LESS ( his pronounciation ).

[dave3i]

barry mcguigan isn't british hes irish.

[barmyarmy3]

irish is british dickhead

[mart3442]

Northern Irish, and only since 1923....and thats a whole different kettle of Fish.

[boxerbrett]

very good,esp about john conteh.Had it not been for his family problems and later alcoholism,he'd have been world champ for years,relinquishing title biggest mistake!!
