    This fight is probably gonna be talked about soon after Flanagan deals with the scrubber, and Taylor looks nailed on to be a world champion

    Taylor destroys him and stops him with body shots.

    taylor wins on points because imo flanagan is one paced and doesn't up the gears it could be because his struggling to make weight or maby he only has one gear where taylor can really up the gears I don't think he stops him his a tough guy

    There’s absolutely no way Frank lets any of his fighters near a live on.

    Doesn’t happen.

    You would have to go with taylor at this point. Terrys reign barring the magdelano fight has been underwhelming, although the matchmaking has been down to frank and more specifically jason mcrory, the performances have been down to terry.
    Of particular note is the magdelano fight was the one where turbo felt his back was against the wall, then he put on a top display. Since then his opponents have been less desirable but turbos performance has been poor.

    I think Taylor would win but it would be a close points decision. Fight won't happen as Frank gas been very open about wanting to keep title in house if Flanaghan wins against Hooker

    I think it’s a bit harsh on Terry to be honest. You can only beat what’s infront of you and like I’ve said about Callum Smith, I think he will raise his game for the better opponents. He is a quality fighter Terry. He deserves a much higher profile and more respect than Crolla but nobody knows who he is.

    I do agree in some ways with you when you say that Terry deserves a higher profile but im not sure if he deserves a higher profile than Ant.
    Also Terry has to take some of the reaponsibility here.
    All his performances barring Magdelano have been somewhat underwhelming. I was there when he fought Petrov and the place emptied after 7 rds, that wouldnt of happened had Terry tried to make a show of it.
    Other fights hes been in, hes plodded through, when he should of looked like he was trying to blast them out of there. Performances when he had a chance to shine, hes ended up looking somewhat boring.
    This is pro boxing and just because someone holds a world title doesnt necessarily mean they deserves more than the man who doesnt have one.
    In prizefighting its who brings more to the table who deserves more usually. An ugly side to the game i do agree but thats its foundations

    Taylor is far to cute in the pocket for Flanagan, sets too high a pace and Flanagan also loses his weight advantage that he has enjoyed over his past opponents. Taylor grinds him down IMO.

    I dont really rate Flanagan... still not really fought anyone of note, and has hardly looked sensational beating the b grade fighters put in with him.

    Turbos on borrowed time. Boring fighter, boring when he speaks. Just has nothing to sell himself with.
    Must be one of the least known belt holders on these shores. Either needs to leave Frank and get some matchroom exposure or push to get some elite level fighters in the ring.
