    its because they have an average stable with an average trainer, Haye got beat by Bellew, Frampton was poor vs Santa cruz and gets beat by selby, Groves will lose his belt to smith in wbss and taylor is good but a nob head

    I'll reserve judgement until he steps up a level to a Barthelemy type opponent. I think he's the goods and he passes the eye test. His amateur pedigree has suited him well and i'm impressed with his defense albeit he fought a very predictable and slow boxer in Ohara Davies.

    There is just something about Josh Taylor all the way through which I didn't like. It was quite clear he was trying to use childish tactics in the first press conference to wind up OD but it just came across as him being an idiot.

    I just find he comes across as very annoying, cocky and arrogant. A bit like the whole of cyclone to be honest. OD also comes across as a bit of an idiot but I find the way he sells the fight was much more entertaining than Taylor.

    I also don't like the way Taylor would chastise people for not thinking he'd win the fight, just showed more arrogance.

    I think now that we're seeing Ricky Burns on the decline, it's great that this kid has burst onto the scene. He's brash and cocksure on social media and in pressers and in the ring he's showed that he's ruthless (landing on Ohara when he quit) but he's exactly the kind of fighter that the Scottish fans need right now to look up to and get excited about. I'm personally not into the media trained robots that some promoters try to produce not only in boxing but other sports too. Good luck to him.

    Ps haha it's put asterisks in for 'c0cksure' which is an actual word in the dictionary!

    What you really mean is you don't like Cyclone boxers being arrogant, only Matchroom boxers get a pass for being arrogant because you're a matchroom fanboy. Your'e also gutted and embarrassed Taylor destroyed OD because you were one of the idiots who foolishly thought OD would win easily.

    Lol So you got all salty and offended because Taylor wound up your boy pre and post fight, but it's cool for OD to talk **** and take his frustrations out on other people not involved in the fight like a little rat *******. Mocking innocent people for what they earn compare to him is entertainment to you is it ? OD is a horrible little cretin and about as entertaining as standing on dog ****.
