    It was a breach of the peace mate. Called a bouncer a ‘gay looking c***’ and acted a tit whilst on the beer. Not excusing it but it’s different to posting addresses of Taylor’s female family members online and saying they were going to stab his wife.

    Would take anything Frampton has to say about the McGuigan’s with a pinch of salt mate. He praises Jamie Moore and says he’s better than McGuigan etc but he was crap under him.

    I said that was out of order. But doesn’t excuse him for being a pr**k. It wasn’t just the homophobic insult there was also sectarian stuff said also which is a good way to alienate alot of people and receive a lot of hate back. Was the abuse his family received a result of the stuff he says and does or was it completly random and unprovoked?

    good point. Frampton and Moore eat from thr same trough, Carl with his magic 0% management fees under MTK without question, and Moore with being shot mistaken for DK and getting £250k and a conveyor belt of MTK fighters to manage as recompense.

    Ye I agree that was it. Tbf to Teo he fights better against southpaws than he does orthodox fighters. He's nailed the counterpunching vs southpaws and his defensive position on the inside, along with his ability to transfer weight whilst tying shots together is what stood out to me watching the fight.

I hold my hands up for making remarks which caused offence and I was rightfully found guilty of. [url]https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/world-champion-josh-taylor-pleads-21121622[/url] Police were called to The Shanghai nightclub on Saturday, after Taylor had called the doorman “a gay-looking c***” and a “big orange-looking c***”. [url]https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/boxing/josh-taylor-racial-abuse-guility-asian-doorman-edinburgh-a9252046.html[/url] your missing out on the racist abuse other racist folk here try to connect it with other stuff to say its no racist hes a wee racist and pleaded guilty he is a horrible nasty little man just a chav hes a good boxer that doesnt mean hes not a racist chav mate

    Agreed.

    Josh did have to give a lot of his purse up to the McGuigan’s as they trained, managed and promoted him. I think it was something like 35% they got.

    After the Prograis fight the McGuigan’s agreed a deal with Matchroom for Josh to fight on DAZN which was he on the brink of accepting until MTK turned his head by offering their management services for free basically (lol) and gave him to Davison to train. Taylor managed to get through the Ramirez fight by just throwing down and having a scrap. but he’s looked crap since.

    Top Rank should have linked him up with Queensberry and BT like Fury, Frampton, Conlan etc so he could have got a British promoter behind him. Instead his defining fight was on FiteTV app.

    If he stayed with the McGuigan’s he’d have been a much better fighter but he got swayed by MTK and their dodgy financials.

    In the interest of objectivity mate please now post all of the comments and remarks Tyson Fury has said.

    Taylor is of course wrong for his behaviour, personally it’s nothing I don’t see or hear on a daily basis from most people on a night out. Your ex army so surely not offended by someone calling someone gay?

    In Scotland, sectarian abuse is pretty much common practice amongst the football community. I’m a rangers fan and people think it’s only Celtic fans that hate rangers but id honestly say Aberdeen hate rangers more! Other teams continually spout sectarian/racist abuse our way and rangers fans are certainly no better. Doesn’t make it right but it’s very common up here.

    I don’t know anyone that dislikes Josh, most people I talk too haven’t a clue who he is. For all his success he’s not well known at all. It’s only my mates who watch boxing a lot that know him, I’ve loads of friends/acquaintances etc that have never of heard of him even though they are Scottish and are into sports.

    Kind of regretting starting the "scumbag" part of this thread now, was just passing on someone's comment who had to deal with him. For what it's worth I don't know Taylor at all but he just comes across as your average central-belt Scot that likes a pint, has a bit of swagger about him and probably rubs some folk up wrong now and again. As a boxer I like him and think the swagger fits.

    Have to say, he looked about two foot tall when Chisora started kicking off at his Prograis presser.

    Agree that’s a stupid comment about trainers. Shane clearly better.

    I’ve heard it from Taylor about the over sparring too though.

    Blimey Jim is using links from the internet. Did not see this curveball coming in light of the zero grammar on posts. Go on son :)

    Frampton used to have to give them 40%. Mental.

    It would have been great if it had kicked off and him and Prograis double teamed and started raining down blows on him. Can’t stand Chisora. Deeply stupid and a club fighter at best.
