Thought Taylor was excellent last night against all be it limited opponents but for shot notice could been tricky but was professional as ever .even though I am biased as a Scotsman I have to say he is easily our best prospect in Britain by a mile you. Guys like gamal yafai couldn't make step up he easily can. His shot selection footwork hand speed and accuracy is a joy watch and he is only going to get better comes across genuine decent humble guy no act . Hoping he can face like of a burns crolla next build his profile up a bit more before a world title shot . Also great have someone who can sell shows up here again. Well done josh
I think a fight vs Burns is a good option but I really see that as the end of the road for Burns if he gets KO'd by Taylor, Likewise for Crolla, Taylors movement and shot selection would be far too much for the easy to hit static headed Crolla, of the two I think Burns would be the tougher fight for Taylor and probably the one that could be huge in Scotland !
All the British 140 fighters and their promoters know the outcome of a fight with Taylor. Doubt any of them fancy it.
True but for burns it is last payday they could sell it easy Glasgow vs Edinburgh old vs new etc. Would be a gd payday for both and burns wouldn't shy away from challenge even tho only see him being stopped
True. Burns would fight him tomorrow cause that's just the way he rolls, but he knows he ain't winning.
Do you not think Burns might be looking for a bigger pay day for his last fight ? I mean how much can channel 5 and a sold out arena in Glasgow or Edinburgh really generate ?
Who else realistic is there for him to fight in majority ppl eyes he is done if out on show up here Ricky headline it won't sell well unless massive name .tbh a thought Hearn might put him in Khan lol
Burns and Taylor are currently not the same weight, so won't be a match. Maybe one last hurrah for Ricky once Taylor is a world champ is a possibility of course. Ricky has said in the past he wants to fight 100 times. Not even halfway there yet!
If Ricky were to get offered 150 grand fight at say Easter road he would take it heartbeat.he has went back 135 and lost he doesn't hav many options.
That holds 21 thousand plus pitch would sell easy and both would take fight in a second and tbh a would go a think Taylor looks diff class and he is always exciting to watch with his style
The Jock public have bee mugged off by Skippy Burns for the final time against Indongo. Cannot see Josh Taylor selling out a stadium unless in a World Title fight against a live challenger.
Khan might be the best option for Ricky he needs a big name to propel himself back into the mix and a potential title shot. The thing about Khan is he's a bit chinny and even Limond was able to drop him (Which he missed the count and should have been stopped) that gives Burns a good chance of an upset which would really be an incentive for that fight.
We all know that frank warren gives the fans the fights they want to see. Can’t wait for him to put his offer on the table for Taylor - Flanagan.
Haha..no chance frank puts terry any where near Taylor especially if he gets the wbo belt. If josh gets one of the other belts down the line it possibly could happen for a domestic unification fight.
