Dunno about the Irish being cream of British boxing haha.  Carl Frampton's the only one I consider elite level.  The Fury's are good and acknowledge their Irish roots but identify as English.  Apart from that the Irish are pretty thin in the boxing world.

The Fury's could light up the Brit scene much brighter than AJ has. BUT their roots are with the travellers and that's their pride, they don't proclaim BRITISH they make huge noises about IRISH and their heritage among the fighting Gypsy's. BECAUSE they are IRISH bred.

Wlad a champ for 11years and you still deny him respect!? How bizarre is that??? Funny, at 41 he's still a 50/50 match for AJ, England's brightest star

They really don't proclaim their Irish.  Tyson has said constantly that he's a big Manchester gypsy.  Manchester is in England.  Hughie wanted the Parker fight in his hometown of where? Manchester.  Manchester is their home.  Tyson was with the England fans for the Euros, with his England shirt on.  Like Inferno said, they are second generation English.  Where do you draw the line of nationality?  All 4 of my grandparents were Irish.  Born in Ireland.  I'm not Irish though.  I was born in England, to parents who were born in England.  Also, the Fury's couldn't light up the Brit scene brighter than AJ because they would have done it already.  They haven't because of a number of reasons, not because they are travellers.  Tyson divides too many opinions.  Personally I love Tyson Fury, but some people hate him because his mouth.  Plus they both have a style that's not particularly exciting to watch. Then you have AJ who knocks people out, says all the right things and looks like a calvin klein model.  Whereas Tyson looks about 40.  AJ is a commercial dream whereas Tyson is not.  It's a shame but that's life. 

I'm not sure where I denied Wlad respect.  Pretty sure I said he was really good.  His style is limited though.
