    Cool. Some didn't rate Taylor until he schooled and beat up Davies. Was crazy how many fans believed Davies was going to walk through JT. Probably because Davies is black, stocky, is a noted puncher and talks mad **** while Taylor if you didn't watch him fight looks like a bit of a weed. Heard they struggle to find JT sparring partners as he bashes them up regularly. Breaking the ribs of middleweight n ****. Watched an interview where David Haye says Josh Taylor is a serious weapon and as tough as nails and he's seen him do ridiculous things in sparring. He doesn't look like your typical bland UK talent. He got some slick in him and he's real nasty with those body shots.

      Estrada, Spence, Rungvisai.

      These guys deserve to make good coin in their next fights.

        As you say. If he can stop Miguel Vasquez next month then that will be some statement. Vazquez seems to have been round for ages but he's still only 30. I'd also like to see the Ricky Burns fight. I honestly think JT would brutalize Burns.

          Vasquez is tricky. Very hard guy to look good against. Would defo be a statement stopping the tough awkward Mexican.
          As for Taylor vs Burns. Not sure I'd want to see that fight as I like Burns and agree with you Taylor would beat on him badly. To Burns credit he's as tough as nails, always gets up and knows how to survive but Taylor is a big super lightweight and Burns is way past his best. He was in his prime at super featherweight about 7 or 8 years ago. The ref would step in or the towel would be thrown in to stop the punishment mid to late rounds.

            How are you 'godless' but have faith?

            You're confused

            "Faith" isn't always about your imaginary pal, pal. I don't fu** with religious zealots.

              Definitely Spence. Just because I cannot wait to see him fight again! Even if he is fighting a bum lol.

                    Errol Spence Jr.
                    I was supporting Kell Brook and played down Spence's chances. Hadn't really seen a lot of him prior. He surprised me though and put up a great showing in Brook's backyard. I'm eager to see him against the other top names at 147.

                    Chris Eubank Jr.
                    Put on three very good performances against a better standard of opposition in 2017. Has entered the World Boxing Super Series to try and establish himself against the other top fighters in the Super Middleweight division.

                    Lewis Ritson
                    Put on a dominating display to stop Robbie Barrett and win the British Lightweight title. That is a stacked division domestically and I'm looking forward to some cracking matchups in the near future as he attempts to win the Lonsdale belt outright.
                    For me avtandil khurtsidze at this conference with Billy joe Saunders when he makes those ahhhwoooo noises ***in hilarious one of the funniest things I've seen I actually think watching that bests my depression cos I get in tears of laughter
