Josh Taylor to be the face of Sky Sports boxing

He’s not been handled too well to be honest. Nows his time to shine.

 

needs to keep his mouth shut and stick to boxing if he has ambition to break into the mainstream.

 

I don't think he quite has the personality.

Joshua doesn't either, but has the looks to make up for it.

You need one or the other - ideally both.

 

The bully act won't go down well...

 

How is horse-faced AJ better looking than Taylor ?

 

AJ has the looks?

Face like a horse chewing a wasp

 

Josh Taylor seems like a horrible person. Being Scottish I wish our best boxer wasn’t a tosser.

 

Can't see him ever being a huge money earner/ppvstar over here and will probably have to go back to the states for any superfights but I am glad sky have picked his fights up when they are here.best we have had since zaggers.

 

Seems a good guy to me.

 

Great boxer and I enjoy his fights (been to two of them) but from what I’ve seen on social media I just can’t take to him at all.

 

Josh Taylor unfortunately will never become mainstream. Bottom line is that as great a boxer he is he lacks that star quality in the eyes of casual fans and is in a division that doesn’t generate much attention beyond genuine boxing fans.

He is also far too spiteful to become the face of a platform.

 

By looks you mean bodybuilder physique?

 

Criminally underrated, deserves to be one of the biggest names in British sport and hopefully will be within a few fights time.

I don’t get the hate for him personally. He doesn’t come across to me as a bully like someone like BJS or Broner, just seems to be highly strung (particularly around fight time when making weight etc.) and maybe (understandably) a bit bitter about not getting enough credit for his achievements so far.

Genuine question as I may be missing something, what’s he done to deserve the hate? It feels very 2021 that people are essentially marking him down for not being a life-and-soul of the party happy-chappy personality. Were the likes of Marvin Hagler, Sonny Liston, Mike Tyson (et al) a barrel of laughs?

 

Not the best examples to use. Unfortunately for Taylor his hype will end when he meets Crawford.
