Josh Taylor = one of the greatest ever Brits

Said it for ages, our best since Calzaghe atleast.

 

"Fury has the drugs stain".

You're watching professional sport. What do you expect? Anyone who has taken 5 minutes to research anti-doping governance and policy knows that it is ineffective and corrupt.

i'm guessing that you believe that Alvarez only had one cycle of clenbuterol and that the visible HGH injection sites on his abdominals are from a knitting accident. Do you also believe that Kovalev only decided to use test for the first time at the age of 37?

Your heroes are all of course full natty because they have never been outed by anti-doping.

Clueless.

 

As a Scotsman my era he has surpassed burns and Harrison.

Would love to see him smoke broner into retirement then take on big boys at 147

 

Great achievement, well done Taylor. Just watched the fight, was a clear winner in a good fight.

 

i rate the regis win higher than ramirez imo

 

Of course he has a drugs stain.

Go on the general, find any Canelo thread and every single one will call him a cheat and mention his drugs.

Yeah others may well be on them, others will also be falsely accused. But for me as a person you’re innocent until proven guilty. Fury and Canelo are fantastic boxers but they’ll always have that drugs thing on them.

There’s absolutely no reason whatsoever to brush it under the carpet and pretend it never happened.

 

Maybe but i'd like to see him at 147 first before making that judgement.

 

Well i think we all do. Ffs, crawford shouldnt be trying to fight Taylor next, he should be fighting the Thurmans, porters and ugas of the world...

 

To do it in only 18 fights aswell. Phenomenal.

 

He won’t get that mate because of his past “racism” charge. It’s sports “personality”. BBC will not entertain the blowback for one second. He’ll get a nomination but the award will go to someone in a no mark sport just to fill a few quotas.

Really that award should be going to the big shagger Allan McGregor anyway.

 

Samesies.

 

Absolutely buzzing this morning after a worrying four rounds he adapted like the greats all know how to and did what he had to.
I like the idea already mentioned of Broner at 147 then Crawford to follow.

 

His a great fighter. Very impressive what his done in a Short career. 147 would be interesting but there is no rush to go there yet.

 

If he was Hearn we might’ve been able to see him on TV in an undisputed fight - disgracefully promoted.

 

Absolutely, I feel like we're watching a more spiteful version of Calzaghe with more self belief, what he's achieved in 18 fights is remarkable, he's taking 0's of World Champions and only looking for the biggest fights. Taylors problem is that he's strictly business, he's not interested in pretending to be something he's not, he's a fighter and he wants to fight and fight the best.

What we're witnessing is amazing, in this age of protecting the 0 and avoiding anyone in their prime Josh Taylor is a breath of fresh air, if he was judged and rated on what he's doing in the ring he's arguably the best current British sportsperson.
