Dempsey sounds like BT's version of Adam Smith these days.

Know Taylor can only beat who's put in front of him, but questions needs to be asked how the f#ck the IBF have decided this kid is their number 1 ranked fighter?
I know we all bemoan and ridicule the ABC bodies, but this sums it up how they just make shit up as they go along.
It feels like they almost try to identify some unbeaten prospect and fasttrack them in the hope they become the next big thing..

They were hoping to set Kondo up for a second shot after his good effort Vs Lipinets, Downua/Apinun, had built an IBF ranking off a minor title (his promoter are well known for doing that). He then fucked the plan for Kondo and Co.Fightnight Scores wrote: ↑26 Sep 2020, 15:19 Know Taylor can only beat who's put in front of him, but questions needs to be asked how the f#ck the IBF have decided this kid is their number 1 ranked fighter?

Well, there's sticking any random guys in their top 15, or whatever it needs to be to be able to justify a mandatory defence. But this guy was right up at number 1!Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑26 Sep 2020, 15:24IBF Are known for their crap mandatories.Fightnight Scores wrote: ↑26 Sep 2020, 15:19 Know Taylor can only beat who's put in front of him, but questions needs to be asked how the f#ck the IBF have decided this kid is their number 1 ranked fighter?

he is going be the best scottish boxer ever i think , i honestly mean that, and not of the back of that win i said he would spark him in 2rds . i cant see josh been beat in the next couple of yearsStuarty wrote: ↑07 Mar 2020, 08:40He's popular mate but not as popular as Harrison was or even Burns. Not sure why he's not more popular. I'm sure if he was with Hearn he'd probably be more popular. Most of my mates are casuals and they all love him.brilo33 wrote: ↑07 Mar 2020, 08:35Stuart how comes Josh don't seemed to be a huge pull yet in Scotland u reckon or is he .Iam a Londoner .half irish Scottish family and was talking to my cousin who is a Highlander and he loves him like me self. I mean he don't seemed to have the pull of burns.i think Taylor should be huge not just in Scotland in whole British isles
Re: Josh Taylor vs. Apinun Khongsong - 2 May 2020
I think he's the real deal, a genuine rare breed, and agree he should already be massive in Britain let alone Scotland. Unified champion in 16 fights, how many times has that ever happened here? And he's great to watch.brilo33 wrote: ↑30 Sep 2020, 18:04he is going be the best scottish boxer ever i think , i honestly mean that, and not of the back of that win i said he would spark him in 2rds . i cant see josh been beat in the next couple of yearsStuarty wrote: ↑07 Mar 2020, 08:40He's popular mate but not as popular as Harrison was or even Burns.
