Katie Taylor - what next?

how many were part-timers?

 

like trying to compare apples and pears, you are either trolling or hating but either way no point in trying to go any further here

 

@Simon Says you're a clown and a hater

Katie Taylor got to where she is by pure hard work and dedication and ability. And she had to overcome many hurdles

If only you had 1% of her boxing ability and dedication you might have got somewhere in life.

Bless your heart, it seems like trolling is your 'sport'.

 

I've no interest in Women's boxing, but wasn't the Belgium lady a policewoman?

 

She's had a great career, beaten everyone certainly a few close ones that could of gone the other way but a superb career and I'm sure is financially in great shape she's 39 and now would be as good a time as any to retire I guess. Up to her.

Cameron no doubt wants the trilogy fight it's the money fight for her and she needs it more than Taylor, who really doesn't have anything to prove.

I would also add the narrative Ireland stops for her fights that Hearn claims is very far from the truth living here. I don't think she would be anywhere near selling out Croke Park either the Aviva stadium way more possible to get say 40k attending at decent prices.

If Hearn really thought she could sell out Croke Park, he would of booked it, he won't it wouldn't be more than half full, three quarters if priced generously, so he wouldn't take the financial hit.

 

The Persoon 1 fight went her way but the likes of Mayweather, Canelo etc have all had one or two go their way over the years. Blame the judges.

Turned pro 4 years too late but done well for herself, both in and out of the ring. Good luck to her.

 

She got one potentially gift decision then rematched her and beat her. Not much else she could have done tbh.

 

the point is no genuinely elite athlete would ever lose to a part-timer, especially coming out of it looking like she had been in a car crash.

All of the resources behind her and that happens. Loses credibility.

 

She was a 'part-timer' (will still train every day) because she didn't earn enough money. Plenty of male boxers have to work on the side too. Look at Maxi Hughes for example.

There's less money in female boxing so only a select few don't have to work. As the men get paid more, their opponents tend to be full-time.
