Is Katie Taylor the greatest sportsperson Ireland has ever produced?

Someone else, not Tommy, mentioned contentious matters in the thread.
That person apologized, end of subject imo.

 

Katie won approximately 15 gold medals in the gold standard international events, Europeans, World's and Olympics. No one will ever match that again. Ever. Now she's a pro champion. Also she was a great international soccer player for Ireland. Given her CV and longevity at the very top she gets rightly considered one of if not the greatest Irish sports star ever.

 

well it obviously didn’t work so I’ll have to slap you harder you scumbag

 

No Katie is not the greatest ever Irish sportsperson but she is the only reason i am going to purchase Saturday nights box office event.No way would i normally pay to watch White v Povetkin

 

How come you're not mithered watching the Povetkin - Whyte fight?

 

I will watch it but begrudge paying for White v a 40 yr old who i feel has little chance of winning

 

Fair enough.

Wouldn't it be funny if Povetkin puts him on his arse after trash talking Fury for the last couple of months? I wouldn't rule it out.

Typically classy attitude from Ireland's greatest ever athlete!

Hopefully this time around she boxes rings around the Belgian blowhard. !!!

 

Willie John McBride, Brian O'Driscoll, Rory McIllroy, the list in front of Katie Taylor is almost endless.
