    Yes he would,look at the Next Gen Cards those are for the young Fighters also Fight Nights he would feature regulary.But You make good points and i agree he should stay with Cyclone at the Moment.However when he wants to make that step into World Level and start Combining the Buisness side of things along with his Talent,i think we know where he needs to go to

    Next gen cards are crap though, Stuart hall at what 38 on them? Not even sure there's been Olympic medalists much on them. They are just filler to full the sky dates.

    Brilliant performance took the seasoned operator in to his own pool and drowned him
    Superb IMO looking forward to his next step up and test

    Got the win, threw some nice shots but I felt he made it harder for himself by not maintaining a distance and using the jab more...he was looking for the big shot far too much and getting drawn into a scrap on the inside.

    Apart from the above criticism, he’s quality and great to watch. Just needs to ignore that ego that’s telling him (internally) that he’s the tougher man and use his skills more, which he has an abundance of.

    I think More British Boxers need to learn from Josh Taylor,in the essence of a Long Amateur Career which then means you dont have to keep fighting bums in your first 20 fights as a Pro.This is what the Eastern Europeans do and it benefits.

    Nothing to gain for Khan. If I were Khan I would go nowhere near. I don't know what the next move will be. I think maybe European belt or world title eliminator. For the amount of fights he has had he has made great progress

    Only started watching Taylor since the Davies fight but he looks the part. What do you guys think about matching him up with Indongo? Obviously he's known to the Scottish public and he's top 10 WBC. Too soon?

    Hopefully with last night being a sell out we don't take the Taylor bandwagon back to the RHC.

    I really didn't like it.
    It was nearly as baltic inside as outside and was everything that I don't like about mass gatherings of drunks in Scotland.
    An underlying vibe of unpleasantness.
    It felt like it could kick off at any moment.

    Back to a proper modern facility like Braehead with free parking!!

    Problem is There isn't a decently venue in Edinburgh, RHC isn't really Edinburgh either, all decent venues are in Glasgow and that's not ideal with Taylor being from the east coast.
    P.s braehead is also crap Andrew outside of Glasgow and only suitable if you drive which ain't ideal.

    There is though the Brook Fight.It's still their,i dont get it i dont think he's scared of Brook,i think he's scared of losing then thats him done,but he will be done anyway if he beats Brook.He cant take on Thurman,Spence he'll get wiped out,fight Brook and Retire and i actually think if he delivers a Good Performance with Heart and Passion he will get a good reception from the Brits.It will probably be pro Brook but if Takam got cheered on i'm sure Khan will,British Fans have had a strange relationship with Amir.Until Prescott he was like the AJ of British Boxing.Then after Prescott it turned into dislike,after The American Trips where he got damage from Sterioded Peterson,Garcia,Canelo.He's hated,but i belive a spirited performance then retire he will be seen as on of their better British Boxers of that Era.

    Taylor was very impressive, I felt he would win but not by stoppage as Vasquez is tough and very awkward. He would have learned a lot from his last two fights and I feel he is being matched well. I would like to see him go for a Euro title next and then push on to world honours. I think he beats Lipinets now who recently won the IBF.

    I meant nothing in it for Khan to fight Taylor. Khan v brook is a no brainer.
