[Leonmitch]

Barry McGuigan was a great, great boxer.... a true gentleman...and a fantastic ambassador for the sport. Nuff said!!!

[pritch9598]

great fighter

[PascackPete]

awesome. i commented on this 3 years ago when it was upoloaded and it's till great to watch. if anyone has video of Barry's fights with his dad signing Danny Boy that would be even better.

[dudeazoid]

Great pic collective. Pure legend. Used to have his game on the commodore 64.

[Jess2Abbie]

my uncle ;)

[cass75]

Great fighter

[headknocker59]

He really could fight couldn't he!!!!

[irishbuy]

i remember watching barry on the tv

he really was a great fighter

and he was a nice guy to he was not like alot of boxers mouthing off today

barry did'nt have to say any thing because we loved him anyway

[couar351]

one of my favorite boxers

[carlisiano]

Fuck show us a video of Barry instead of a whole bunch of pics u masty over.

Jeez, what a way to disrespect a world champ :/

[rufusandburne]

Agreed!

[Postmester]

I am danish and we have many great boxers in Denmark.

But I admire the clean and pure irish spirit Barry McGuigan is representing!

He is a champion of boxing and...Hells Kitchen as well.

[ciaranfox2008]

great boxer

[dixiedeanlivesalways]

maguigan was just average he was a lovely lad ,Sanchez or Nelson would have abliterared him but he was a lovly knocked back the mbe till he got skint then got a few quid

[Paitro202]

wrong

[jollywolly55]

he looks like the chuckle brothers

[irishbuy]

what a fucking legend

[irishbuy]

i remember watching barry many a time

he had a heart of a lion

and a warriors spirit

he was one of the best for sure

he showed the world what he could do when he fought bernard taylor and he has done nothing but do the irish people proud

[dansq82]

who's singing this, it's quality?!

[CaptainKubla]

Not just a great boxer, but a great man. Leave sectarianism where it belongs, where you put your rubbish, because that is where it belongs.

Amen.

[grass1963]

barry one of the greats!!!!!

[Doody]

FUCKIN LEGEND

[vdorrian]

I remember this fight. I was a big McGuigan fan at the time, living in Ireland and was really disapointed. Then about 4 years later I went to Las Vegas and I could not believe the heat and how hard it must have been for him to fight outside in it. His manager Barnie Eastwood should have been shot, he couldn't find an inside venue in Vegas ??.

[vinny26812]

Ah a great fighter and a lovely fella. gentleman

[whitenightf3]

Barry was a great Fighter but I think Nelson would have knocked him out.

[xstan5]

stevenmacca89, your an idiot

[123dannyevans]

Barry McGuigan=Legend

[TheDADDY20007]

The only people who think this joker was any good are the Irish and Barry McGuigan.

I love to see him try and tell the boxers of today how they should fight when he is possibly the most overrated boxer in the history of the game.

[tonto84]

ah fuck off ya bollocks

[TheDADDY20007]

Not sure how that would work but ill but ill give it a try...

lmao!!

[stevenmacca89]

well said, he lost to bums as well

[dhlfh]

He won the world featherweight title..how is he a joke,he thrilled millions...,half of britan and ireland use to watch his fights..

[TheDADDY20007]

Any fighter has a punchers chance to win a fight. A true champ wins more than just one big fight and shows consistancey over a period of time.

Did he?

The honset answer is no, he didnt.

Hey, even Bruno won a world title but i think youll agree he was a joke too.

[dhlfh]

barry outscored pedroza over fifteen rounds...,some fighters burn out quicker than othere for watever reason,barry lost his father and after that saw no reason to fight,when he returned he had no love for boxing...,bruno was no joke,he was a world champion,was outboxing lewis before getting caught,was the first fighter to really hurt tyson,won the wbc title...

[yokiemabob]

his old cuts man paddy byrne is now in kesslers corner and in his 80s.

[freedomfight2012]

I remember watching the mcguigan fights on tele when i was just a kid. brought the family and friends together. especially love when his father would sing danny boy before a fight. sends shivers up the spine to listen to it. mcguigan was a class act!

[9746478]

A fantastic boxer and a decent man also.I am related to him.Thats my "clame to fame".

Mc Guigan Top class!!!!

[stevenmacca89]

Overrated

[2121crespo]

OVERRATED????????? how would you know your only 18. your mum was still wiping your arse when he was fighting.

[stevenmacca89]

because ive seen most of his fights, he was an overhyped fighter, lost to Eubank (a genuine good boxer) 's brother, lost to a bum in Cruz, and lost to Jim McDonnell, he's not in the same league p4p british as Naz, Honeyghan, Benn, Eubanks to name a few

[RabPuskas]

Dot talk absolute toilet. he hammered Eubanks and was robbed and then battered seven shades out of him in the return. The Cruz fight..we all know what happened there and as for Jim McDonnell...Barry was cut and severly hampered....barry was a league above Jim. Away and watch his fights with LaPorte and Pedroza and educate yourself.

[dhlfh]

he lost to cruz in a 100 degree heat...,the heat beat him,he lost on a cut to mcdonnell after 4 rounds when he was past his best...

You forgot to mention he won the world featherweight title against a great fighter...

[TheDADDY20007]

He lost to Cruz because he was out of is league.

The heat had some effect yes but a true champ would have prepared better.

[dhlfh]

Barry was a world class fighter..Cruz was a journeyman fighter,who got lucky...an irishman fighting in 110 degree heat during the day aint gonna win,no matter who's in the ring...

[TheDADDY20007]

Thats a little insulting to the good fighters Ireland has produced,

[dhlfh]

No not really...,irish people aint climatised to that heat,an irish person would find it hard walking around in that heat,never mind fighting in it...

[TheDADDY20007]

Look, its obvious your not going to see sense.

Your judgment is clouded by your nationality so this is a pointless argument.

I say hes crap, you say he isnt.

I say hes a joke, you say he isnt.

You wont convince me (or much of the none irish world) of anything different.

[dhlfh]

its nothing to do with being irish,im a boxing fan,ive slated Andy Lee,Bernard Dunne,John Duddy,they are all irish,you cant call a man that won a world title against a great fighter crap..plus he was one of the most exciting fighters of the 80's...

[RabPuskas]

Mine isnt. To say BMCG is crap shows how little you know.

[stevenmacca89]

the heat means nout, was it freezing cold it Atlantic City when Honeyghan beat Curry, or when Mayweather ko'd Hatton, you fool, he was overrated

[dhlfh]

so one hundred and ten degree heat means nothing...ok...,trying to walk around in that heat would be hard,now imagine trying to fight in that for 15 rounds...,cold?u idiot,the second they start fighting they would warm up,massive difference between fighting in the cold indoors and outdoors in extreme heat..

[grass1963]

barry was one of the greats

[3PoundProductions]

no your not and its spelt claim

[RabPuskas]

I am though.

[yampydoo123]

nice vid a true boxer one of the best in his day

[morrink]

the video and the song gives me peace. Very nice.

[boldertits]

wasn't he born in clone.

[findogsligo]

A true marvil!

[Inspire6]

Barry played golf on our holiday resort once, is he a big celeb in Ireland or just small time?

[raidersfan99951]

Barry could go!

[johndogg1970]

true fighter

[sweetypie000]

wtf, did he die or summin?

well sombre vid wtf

[boxingGARDEN]

wow what a shit video

[c64c64c64]

2:32

thats the face of a man who will not be beaten

[grass1963]

seen barry fight in the juvinile champs i think 77,78 and admired his style, shared a dressing room in edenderry tournaments a couple of times, a true gentleman & aledgend boxer!!!!

[nickladey]

barry mcguigan was simply the best in his class he was a one off. naseem hamed got to big for his boots barry is a ledgend and still is

[1oldirishman]

Boxing fans don't care whether he's British or Irish, but we all know he was a fantastic fighter.

And the song is beautiful.

[ASHHHH888]

Naseem hamed was alright fighting on the european stage journey men! soon as he went to the States and fought Berera he give him a boxing lesson what was he then ( Naseem has been !) Retired !!! dreamer !

[strachjames]

how can u call naseem hamed a legend. cant believe ppl like naseem are being mentioned on a barry mcguigan video. the second hamed fought sum1 decent he lost and then didnt fight for how long ???

[c64c64c64]

wayne mccullough beat him too, only the judges were blind

[niall7777]

Yeah and Chris Eubank is the worst ever Irish boxer

[IrishMartin]

Irish to the core

[Danyal66]

Gotta be the one of the Best British featherweights ever... Naseem Hamed was a Legend like... wouldve been good if they were from the same era, such a fight

[jmcgrth]

hes not british though,last time i checked monaghan is in the republic

[spbrown1969]

i watched that fight with pedroza too and it was a changing of the guard but was the best fight i saw at that time.

[Thebhoys02]

He's not british he's Irish!

[antisocialist01]

traitors to the crown!

[bingokeane]

What does that mean in the context of this?

[bohs1888]

stick the crown up your hole when will britain ever exsist with out war britain is war r u proud of that the more of ye that die in iraq or afghainstain the better leave ireland for the irish

[111Thelimit]

Without political intervention we would all agree.The wars are not with the blessing of all.However Afghanistan is a war against drugs. Drugs that cost the lives of Irish men and women. Iraq a war on tyranny. A Majority ruled by a cruel minority. God bless every Irish and Englishman that serve for us.Thank you for your comment

[c64c64c64]

A Majority ruled by a cruel minority...

thats what the problem was in ireland I believe?..

ireland and iraq have more in common than people might think.

In time (if not already) the iraqi people will come to find the presence of the soldiers an awful burden.

I expect the iraq war to last 100 years or more

[harvest21021982]

barry mcguigan is the best british boxer since steve collins

[strunway]

jes that song, as a paddy that song always makes me....

lol, but you would think Barry was dead!

[1oldirishman]

His dad, who sang it to him, is dead.

[gallouzeman]

My dad Farid Gallouze fought with Barry for European title, but he lost at 2nd round by KOT. I'm proud of him to fight a great fighter like Barry. My dad say "his blows are like an electrical choc". Barry is probably the best Irish fighter of this century, and he answer to fan's letter himself ! (sorry for my english...)

[bingokeane]

Say hello to your dad for me.

[gallouzeman]

It's ok, thanks for him.

[joselebeer]

Barry was one of our greatest. Still rate his fight with Pedrosa as one of the greatest. Watched it live on TV as a kid with my dad. Such heart and passion. He puts most of these clowns around today to shame.

[mcgoli]

im releted to him... my name is Ollie McGuigan

[LucasJackson1965]

How are you related?

[07821454756aspey]

barry is a great fight lol, he is irish my dad noes him he used to work for his son pat mcguigan lol, great fighter

[LucasJackson1965]

Barry has'nt got a son called PAT.

[filipinoboy92]

Pat mcguigan is the son of Barry mcguigan, you dafty

[LucasJackson1965]

Barry does NOT have a son called Pat mate. Trust me on that.

[filipinoboy92]

Pat mcguigan is the son of Barry mcguigan, you dafty

[MisterButterfly]

Great montage! I remember watching Barry as a teenager here in the states - his fights were BIG on our tv, especially the Pedroza fight. He was a class act. One of my all time favorites.

[e3hammer]

Barry McGuigan might not be British, but was more then happy to fly the Union Flag and married a Protestant woman.

So much for Irish pride, eh?

[LucasJackson1965]

Thankfully idiots like you are disapperaing!

[e3hammer]

Oh and why is that?

[LucasJackson1965]

Well cos you are an idiot clearly.

[e3hammer]

As long as you're happy.

[LucasJackson1965]

I'd be a lot happier if you'd kindly piss away off you twat.

[e3hammer]

Calm down dear, you'll give yourself a heart attack.

[LucasJackson1965]

I'd be a lot happier if you'd kindly piss away off you twat.

[circut010]

to irish rover barry's not from N Ireland hes from Clones Co Monahan which is in the Irish Republic.

[noelbrennan29]

barry mcguigan is irish not british,i hate the way the british say he was a british fighter,i bet if he had been crap and not won a world title they would have called him irish, typical fuckin brits.irish eyes are smiling not british

[magoojimbob]

COCK BAG

[dwilley22]

your country is only safe in this world because you are part of the UK, you dumb fuck.

without ARE back up {england} your country would have been taking over long ago.

[xmoorserx]

fuck off english prick

[irelandsjohn]

eh, the only threat to ireland in it's entire history was infact england. shut up and get your facts straight.

[crowman62]

Maybe so....but this song was written by an Englishman.

[viper22592]

dude my name is ryan mcguigan

my dad boxed too but he played baseball instead of pro boxing but

we've talked to barry over the fone and we are pretty sure that were related to him..

so ya just thought i'd put that out there

[cfcnlr]

barrys like the rest of the free state scum

once they got their freedom they forgot that the other part of the country was imprisoned by british and unjust to hundreds of thousands of catholics

[bingokeane]

Mate. WTF are you gibbering on about?

[chriskelly6900]

Well said! Too many lunatics on the loose!

[irishrover1967]

barry miguigan is from n.ireland u thick cunt lol

[bingokeane]

no he is not

[vT0M]

thats my uncle barry

[bingokeane]

sure.

[20ruairi07]

hopefully the day when we appreciate all sporting greats from this island is not far away.this is sport-not politics and i am proud of whoever-colour religion or political view-takes on the worlds best and comes out victor..peace out and happy new year

[Polkaten]

Good comment

[snapperfranco]

barry won from the same town as me, and we never had to use sterling,so his irish defo/

[paddyginger]

If your from Northern Ireland and good at sport you are British!!If you do bad your that Irish!!!!

[rossco00115]

dry your eyes ya fuckwit. he was'nt about that shite unlike you. away and fucking die scumbag

[SULLY2014]

barry mguiggan was a dirty trator bastard the men of 16 are turning in there graves

[usernamealredytaken]

alright mate chill out

[LucasJackson1965]

The surname only has one G and I'm sure you know ALL about him ya moron.

[chriskelly6900]

Who? Ali G?

[bingokeane]

See people like you, you make me sick.

[ConorTheTaxiMan]

lets not forget that barry fought under the UNITED nation's flag of peace. people in ireland - from all sides - came together to support him. it was truly remarkable; especially given the fact that barry's career was in its prime long before any peace process in the north of ireland. the man is a champion in more ways than one.

[tomasito1969]

it breaks my heart that anything that good comes out of the 6 counties sports wise the english always call it a britieh success,i can bet u the english dont even know barry was born in the republic

[jagermeister04]

i agree

[ronMexico121]

True, same with Scottish sporting achievments (lol i know they are rare). If a Scottish athlete wins something, the press claim it as a Britsh success. If an English athlete, especially a white english athlete, then it's not British -it's only English. I mean wtf!

[curlythepig]

Fantastic Man all round . Has done some many good things out of the ring aswell . Would love to meet him. Is he due to appear anywhere?

[mancunian1234]

His dad used to sing oh danny boy before his fights.

[gaffneyscotland]

tht is not a good thing tht he killed someone shows his power but nothing 2 be proud of

[DragonOnMe]

Amazing boxer, from my home town. He killed a guy in a boxing match, that's how good he is :D

[mancunian1234]

So its like your saying the only way a boxer is to progress is to kill someone?Nah,don`t think so.

[mightyPants]

you are a fucking retard.

[rockyzed93]

IVE MET HIM!

aye, got his autograph, a picture with him and i even got to shake his hand!

he was very modest, a guy from my boxing club fought his son.

his son won but Barry said that the score was a bit exaggerated. I dont like the scoring system in amatuer boxing it isnt done fairly.

the man is a legend and an inspiration to other people like me.

[TALIBANBOYOreturns]

As long as you understand the difference between amateur and professional boxing, the scoring is fine.

What is your alternative?

[griff969]

Great human being first, top boxer second, not a bad chef third!!

[steviemac40]

Some of my best sporting memories are of Barry fighting, great boxer and more importantly a real nice guy! Stevie Belfast.

[andyuk11]

used to love barry"s dad singing this

[malipglossispopping]

hes my uncle lool xXx

[boyler30]

one of the best to come out of ireland

[SwingingDemon]

stupid boring video you make barry look like a fucking noob. and hes not

[hmspompey]

What can be said about McGuigan?

To much for me, i just love him.

[validoc]

can anyone post any more videoes of his fights?

[mmcilwee]

mcguigan never fought under any flag except the blue flag of peace with a dove on it.check your history mate.

[redirishterrier]

Steve Cruz didnt beat him, the heat did.

[ukcalling2006]

the clones cyclone

[pauldo1970]

im from a "loyalist" community in belfast and i remember crying when barry won the world title against pedrosa at loftus road and i remember being absolutely gutted when he lost against cruz he was a hero to all in both N.Ireland and the Republic we all loved our barry.

[marti32]

i remember goin to the school the mornin after he lost 2 s cruz- it cant be true it cant be true. gutted, loved him

[Monkfish05]

Great boxer, thats all that needs to be said ;)

[shaunAKAegghead]

best ever irish fighter.. i u got to love that he brought the birish flag in.. shows that he is proud to be british and we should all be..even though irland is i island for it slef we are all the same really. we all have the same culture and mentality.. im english but of irish desent. my great grandfather came over to england for work and im proud to have irish in my blood

[Tomzen9]

im english but of irish desent. my great grandfather came over to england for work and im proud to have irish in my blood

Mate same here Barry through his boxing brought people together. That is what Sport does it builds bridges and breaks down barriers, he was a great Fighter regardless of what flag he boxed under.

[IrelandRaven]

wtf do you mean,hes not british,hes not proud to be british,and who exactly is "we"?

[rmsbs]

Lets stick to the facts....Great Boxer...Great Man.
