Tyrone's Own-  where was Lewis when Tyson and Holyfield were in their prime, you ask? Being ducked that's where he was. Bowe (beat Holyfield twice) refused to fight him and for years fighters used Lewis' subsequent loss to McCall as an excuse for not fighting him. You question Lewis' motives for retiring? What other credible challengers were there out there? He'd beaten the better of the Klitschkos, even if it was only on cuts. He wouldn't have cut any less easily in a rematch. Rahman again? As good a boxer as James Toney is, he's still a blown up Super Middlewieght who earned a credible draw with Rahman. Jones? Jones didn't really want it, and subsequent fights have shown that the Ruiz fight was by far and away the peak of his career. The only way from there was down, and Ruiz vs. Lewis would have been laughable

Never mind Duran vs. Leonard, watch Duran vs. Barkley for pure guts and will to survive.

I resent beign called a West Belfast man!

Was that actually a dig at a legend such as Duran Stew? You seem to be implying that not wanting to be beaten up by one of the greatest fighters of all time was something to be ashamed of! Even after the "No Mas" fight he went the distance with one of the two greatest Middleweights of all time and in beating Barkley at the age of 37, he took out one of the most feared punchers of the day, while in his prime!

I wouldn't even dare and suggest it, nor would I try and suggest he'll be scoring 1-4 or 1-5 or whatever he got. However, what we're dealing with hear is picking the six best forwards in Antrim to represent us, and that certainly includes CJ, regardless of the opposition.

good to have you back mc ardle

Its not about picking the best six forwards in the county, its about picking the right forwards (players) to win that game. Young mcgourty is in with a strong chance of starting. Has he not given any clues away to you Gallsman?

I'm studying in Dublin and a bit out of the loop (and condition!) at this stage!

Taken from Scrubs.

An American fella has two coins which together add up to 30 cent. One of them isn't a nickel. What are the coins?

CJ wasn't out of his depth against Tipperary! He may be young and still a bit small, but he has more talent than the rest of the forwards in the Antrim squad combined!

Best of luck to my good friend and classmate Owen Coyle and the Stewartstown team as they go for three progressive championships in four years against Ardboe tomorrow night.

FOX News are capable of making that same mistake on a regular basis!

De La Hoya v Mayweather this weekend! It's probably disappeared amid all the overblown hype, but there should be a very good fight lying underneath there somewhere! As great a fighter as Mayweather is, he's an obnoxious little turd and hope Oscar puts him in his place. If Mayweather can bring any sort of power to light middle he should win however, he's just too quick and an ageing de la Hoya might have trouble hitting him.Haye is a very fast, slick boxer but I'd be suspicious of a fella a 40 year old Carl Thompson demolished a few years ago. Haye insists that he plans to go back down to cruiser to take on Mormeck, but apparently there's word of a rubber match between Mormeck and O'Neil Bell

I see the U21 is well under way, with the 1/4 finals on tonight. I played sevens last Thursday, first time I'd kicked a ball since the previous 1/4 final last August! Anyone know when the semis and final are scheduled for? Would love to get back in time for them.

look up vacuum, heat cannot be passed through a vacuum which surrounds the inside of a flask. therefore no heat can escape from the flask or inserted to the flask from the outside due to a lack of air to carry the heat.  if u look up vacuum and get anything about dyson just ignore... ;)

Incorrect boyo. There are three types of heat transfer- conduction, convection and radiation. A vaccuum only eliminates heat transfer via the first two methods!

Turk, how dare you confuse Sean Penn with that English twat Sean Bean! Ever since I first saw Bean trying to play an IRA man in 'Patriot Games', I haven't been able to contain my laughter any time I see him!

Back to the issue at hand. While Penn does tend to rand, he does indeed raise some very good points. Perhaps he was out of line having a go at the twins, but in fairness he does ask if they supported their Dad's policy in Iraq, and if so, why weren't they doing their patriotic duty, instead of leaving it to the next high school dropout ambushed by army recruiters.
