    Paulie was the champ when they fought! Broner never done enough to take the belt! He was a walking punching bag all night, big wow he landed a few so called power shots every now and again.

    Basically he won the fight with the hype surrounding him at the time. Any other no name no hype fighter putting in that weak performance would have lost!

    You got suckered in like the rest of the sheep! I suppose you think Mayweather never got beat because it says so on boxrec? Thought so

    Stop fighting bums? Give him a break, he's had 6 fights ffs.

    The journeymen he's fought are of a higher calibre than what he'd fight if he was signed with Matchroom/FW/MGM so I think he can be happy with how he's progressed.

    Right now, no, but give him a couple more fights getting some rounds under his belt and he beats guys like Nurse comfortably.

    Big Taylor fan but not seasoned enough for Nurse at this stage - won't be long before he is ready though. Hopefully he will be boxing in Scotland again soon. Anyone got news on this?

    They arent higher profile.. They are weaker opponents not one durable journeyman.. These fighters are hand-picked to fall over.. I am harsh on opponents because Josh is way beyond these guys.. He shouls be fighting better opponents anyone who thinks different are idiots

    Well I guess I'm an idiot then as I've been happy seeing him fight guys who have a style that means they are throwing punches to hurt Taylor, like his opponent was on Saturday, than a "durable journeymen" i.e. a walking punch bag.

    I don't think he will be fighting Journeymen for much longer anyway.

    I think he would beat nurse right now as well. Hes even good enough to fight for commonwealth and Euro titles right now. He's different class.

    Does anyone know if Nurse is signed with Matchroom? Possibly hinder the match getting made, Taylor may have to get himself in to a mandatory position...
