    Katie Taylor is the exception that proves the rule. She's got a back story (fighting pretending to be a boy etc), comes across as a normal person, a dream for the mainstream media to cover.

    The rest are nowhere near her; if Cameron fought any other woman they'd be giving tickets away.

    Don't know a single person, even in Scotland, that likes Josh Taylor. Would have been different maybe 4 years ago.

    The Irish Sean Dyche voice was battered all over New York by a Belgian Police Officer, many thought Spud Jonas beat her and Miss Tappy Cameron schooled her yet she is a bigger star than Josh Taylor when her best win is Mandy Piano.

    A cracking post from you.

    A genuine future Hall of Fame entrant.

    Hard crowd to please on here only cleaning out a very tough division in record time winning all 4 belts.

    Josh Taylor has a better CV than the Pride of Matchroom combined - Joshua, Whyte and Chisora.

    It doesn’t matter. Katie Taylor still has a lot more support than most male fighters in the world including Josh Taylor.
    Cameron got a bit lucky that Taylor has been on the slide and also she moved up a decision. Taylor has never ducked anyone and has fought all the competition around her weight so fairplay.

    Cameron's real luck is that she caught Taylor just as she was looking for the last cash-out fights in Ireland and needed a dance partner. Taylor deserves the money and although it's a shame she can't sign off against one of the many bums in the women's game to get a win (she'd still sell out) it proves your point about not ducking.

    She should have a final fight against Sunny Edwards at Toke Park then retire.

    What makes you so certain to talk like matter of factly that Riakporhe would have beaten him. Goulamarian is strong, big punching, granite chinned beast, he'd have been the favourite there .
