Re: Punch Drunk - the boxing thread

Again, in fact he was better known in the States than he was here arguably. He fought Gerald McClellan, I think twice, and lost both narrowly when McClellan was considered the best pound for pound fighter in the world. Collins gained a huge amount of credit from those fights and Eubank, Benn and Wa...

Re: Leinster v Leicester - Sat 6 April, 20.00 RTE2

I think both Harry and Ross are fine players and I don't really have a preference for one over the other. But, and lets be honest here, are we not arguing over what our favourite shade of magnolia is? It's not as if we're arguing the difference between two entirely different but equally brilliant p...

Collins was certainly known to Irish/UK Boxing fans, but the USA/Vegas are the real meal tickets, not sure how well known he was over there before this fight made headlines...if, as suggested by the review, this movie is anywhere near the level of "When We Were Kings", it will be worth th...

Re: Punch Drunk - the boxing thread

Steve Collins granted boxing licence for fight with Roy Jones Jr I'm not sure the fight is a good idea but he has repeatedly said it's not a comeback. It's just a fight that should have happened but never did. Hope it works out for him. I have very happy memories of his fights with Eubank. Clearly ...

Re: Aviva Atmosphere - Are the fans the problem?

Being pedantic Leinster Rugby predates most of the clubs in the province. From my own perspective I got into rugby through school and have never had or felt any affiliation to a club. I'd wager there are a fair number of people in the same situation as myself, particularly in Dublin. But leinster w...
