    Indeed - very impressive and refreshing!

    It's not just about him though, it takes two to tango and if opponents had ducked him then we wouldn't be able to say this...

    So fair play to him and to the previously unbeaten fighters prepared to step in with him, IMHO

    He's now ranked 5th on the Ring P4P ratings

    Froch and Frampton were in the top 10 before. But I think it's since Calzaghe of Hatton that a Brit was that high.

    He's the best fighter I have seen from the UK.

    Very true, I think at those weights you don't really have a choice unless you're a Gervonta Davis type, you either take the fights or make no money. The thing with Taylor is that you can guarantee that if someone didn't take the fight he'd just say "right, well who's next" rather than waiting around moaning about it on Instagram. He doesn't strike me as the kind of boxer or character that wants to hang around for ages, he'll just take the fights when he's in his prime, win them, make as much as he can and get out while the going is still good. It can pay to be a true fighting man in the end.

    Its funny because when Ramirez said no to the WBSS i was a bit pissed off and thought he was ducking, but then Taylor possibly wouldnt have beaten both him and Prograis.
