    Well not bad mouthing as such but he posted "Josh Taylor MTK" on Twitter which promoted Taylor to have to send a few tweets saying he's staying put at Cyclone. I class this as disrespectful to Barry, that sort of tweet is not helpful.

    I agree - Conlon needs to stay off twitter, quit flapping his gums and stick to polishing his boxing skills.......
    His pal Paddy Barnes was all over social media in the run up to Rio Olympics and we all saw how he got on there once the actual boxing started didnt we?

    Barnes is an absolute joke. Thinks he's a republican and accepts MBE awards. He cannot possibly be taken seriously.

    Barnes was awarded an MBE for his services to boxing in the 2015 New Year's Queen's Honours list after twice winning Olympic bronze medals for Ireland and gold for Northern Ireland in the 2010 and 2014 Commonwealth Games.

    "I am a proud Irish sportsman, a proud sportsman from Belfast and I take great pride in representing everyone in Ireland, north and south, in whatever way I can," he said of accepting the award at the time.

    "If my achievements in boxing can inspire others and people can be united through sport, then my efforts will have been worthwhile."

    However, in the interview published on Wednesday, Barnes admits he missed the deadline for accepting the award in the hope it would be forgotten about.

    "Then I was put on the spot and so I said yes," he said.

    "I represented Ireland and Northern Ireland and hoped it’d bring people here a little closer together if anything. But some people in Northern Ireland are so f****d up nothing brings them together. I thought I’d get more abuse for turning it down but now I feel like it was a bad decision.

    "I was just trying to show respect and maybe bring the communities together. That’s the only reason I accepted it.”

    he was in a no win situation really

    We will have to agree to disagree mate. He's lost the plot accepting that award. Embarrassing.

    sounds to me like the guy has a bond with a long-term training partner and friend. Leave off

    Conrad Cummings is an absolute woeful boxer. He literally tags along with Frampton to keep his name relevant.

    Yeah - I'm sure they were happy to see the 2016 fighter of the year leave when they could sign an 8-0 heavyweight from Africa, based in Scotland
    Swings and roundabouts

    Billy your a classic case of a failure father type living his life through his adopted child....Martin has achieved very little certainly nothing to suggest he's World class....
