    Haha you must be at the wind up. Martin was allowed to hit him back you know, but he froze cos Taylor just overwhelmed him. I like that he has that bit of spite in him in the ring. Not a bad thing to have as a fighter. It's not a tickling contest as Ricky Hatton used to say.

    Good to see you back on your wind up cycle pal. Hopefully one day Ireland will have a fighter as good as Taylor for you to cheer on.

    Yeah, I think if he beats Baranchyk and likely Prograis in the final, then theres a strong argument that he is Britains best. Prograis looks pretty special to me also, be a great fight if it happens.

    Looks great to me. Probably top three Britain. Can see him shipping a loss to Prograis. Seen too many "Great Brits" come up short against elite fighters. He does have the goods to beat anyone. Don't get me wrong though will always watch him. Great to watch go to work in the ring.

    Mikey Garcia is the best 140lber in the world now that Crawford is @ 147
    I don't care if he last fought @ 135

    So the not being the best in his own division will hurt him in any conversation of UKs best.

    Callum Smith probably has the best claim of any brit IMO

    Potentially yes for sure. But he is not the best at the moment.

    He has had 14 fights...so yeah 100% he is one for the future. Of ALL current British fighters I would love to know who was where Taylor is after so few fights.....2 unbeaten fighters and an ex world champion on his resume already.....fairly impressive I would say
