    Ok he hasn't got a world title but he is the best boxer in Britain imo.

    Fantastic to watch

    Has great potential but has it all to do mate before he is the best.

    Very good boxer with cracking hand speed and boxing skills

    Definitely a good boxer, you can't let him get into a rhythm and dictate.

    Martin was horrific though, like a walking punchbag. Was shaking his arms out in the first 30 seconds and all through the fight. Far too tense, think occasion got to him.

    Martin has only ons top50 win on his resume, and that was a controversial SD at a lower weightclass.

    I will agree with OP if he wins this WBSS - he has it all in front of him to do mate.

    He's really really good and I think probably the best at 140, however I've downgraded him from P4P to just world class after the Postol fight. Postol is very good too.

    Taylor has a fantastic inside game however he can be outboxed from range as we saw vs Postol, and against a P4P fighter such as Crawford he would struggle.

    I said Britains best boxer. Can't think of one who is better than him at the moment.

    Taylor is the goods, but I would put Saunders ahead of him for now, for obivous reasons.

    I wouldn't argue about being Britain's best boxer, Taylor is class.

    Tonight was like a session on the bags though, Martin completely froze.

    Bully Jo Saunders would have a different opinion as would Tony Dosh, Tyson Fury and the other world champions.

    Josh still has it all to do and hopefully he does the business in the top fights where he will be stretched and tested.

    Tonight was like Fury v Seferi - no contest

    He is potentially the best for sure, by the way is Ryan Martin any relation of Charles Martin because they sure fought similar.
