As the title says do you think you could beat Katie Taylor in a fight?

Well lads?

Havermeyer · 26-12-2011 11:49PM

Do YOU think you could beat her?

Catari Jaguar · 26-12-2011 11:50PM

She's epic.

galwayrush · 26-12-2011 11:50PM

I wouldn't ever hit a woman

Irish hero for sure.

unknownlegend · 26-12-2011 11:58PM

I'd let her beat the head off me...

7Sins · 26-12-2011 11:58PM

I wouldn't beat her in a boxing ring but if kicking and pulling of the hair was allowed

pragmatic1 · 27-12-2011 12:00AM

Nope. She'd batter everyone on this forum.

Kevin Duffy · 27-12-2011 12:02AM

In an amatuer boxing match, under rules, not a fúcking chance. I boxed for a long time and I'm still pretty fit and fast, with a huge reach and weight advantage, but I doubt I'd land a clean shot in 3 rounds while she'd pick me off at will. We mostly don't realise in this country just how good she is. In comparative terms, she's Tiger Woods, Brian 'Driscoll or Messi. Possibly our greatest performer ever, technical, focussed, fast, durable and no sign of losing the run of herself or getting overconfident. 11 Euro titles and 3 World's. Incredible boxer. When you know what you're watching, her quality is dizzying.

I love football, but in a choice between seeing her make history and going to Poland, I've decided on London.

Chuck Stone · 27-12-2011 12:08AM

At boxing she'd probably beat me to death quite quickly. In a no rules fight I might last a bit longer because I'd be viciously sneaky.

Katie is one of the best sports heroes this Island has ever produced and I don't think she gets enough recognition for it.

If Katie said she wasn't in the mood, you wouldn't ask a second time.

I think she'd get way more recognition and probably be the greatest sporting hero of recent times if she was a man.

/feminist man

LH Pathe · 27-12-2011 12:17AM

She should have used michelle obamas big butt as a punchbag when the opportunity reared itself. when it's constantly on yer face regardless and unavoidable

It would be the opposite as she'd be up against actual athletes. :pac:

braintoxic · 27-12-2011 12:21AM

Depends on here time of month

wolfpawnat · 27-12-2011 12:24AM

She used to train in UCD and make a show of the lads there!

She's fit though LF. I mean she'd be still there smacking heads when you'rte asking for a break.

EGAR · 27-12-2011 12:36AM

Meh.

She is conditioned for boxing, and would naturally resort to a stance which would make taking her down pretty easy, even for someone with rudimentary takedown ability like me. Once the fight hit the ground she can have cardio for days, but it wouldn't help her when i am elbowing the face off her.

In a boxing match her superior sports conditioning, speed, agility, footwork and head movement would basically render any attack i made moot as she punched my face until i fell over.

Yeh, 3 weeks outta 4 she'd batter you. On the other week it'd be even worse for you.

Not even, she's from Brayruit man!

Brayruit eh? I'd better open the proceedings with a good kick in the snatch then.

+ Boxer of the Tournament awards, World Amateur Boxer of the Year etc. etc.

I felt as if I was on my own down the years telling people just how good an amateur boxer she is. We will wait a long time before we have amongst our ranks a sportsman or woman of this quality. She is our supreme athlete.

MungBean · 27-12-2011 12:45AM

Is there no professional women's boxing ?

Darkglasses · 27-12-2011 12:45AM

Wouldn't last 10 seconds. A lot of my friends do a bit of boxing at college, and they'd break me up so I dread to think what she'd do. Now if it was a keyboard warrior fight...different story. She'd be off the forum in a week max. :pac:

You're not alone Sir.

She's arguably the most accomplished athlete we've ever produced in Ireland. Maybe George Best is close but he never did it on the international stage like our Katie.

Katie Taylor loves football as well. A lot of people dont know, she could have been Irelands greatest International football player ever, but she chose to box and quit football. But before she quit she got a load of caps playing for the national team.

Simply Katie is a phenomenon and our greatest athlete of all time.

Enjoy watching her in London

With an average of 0.21 posts per day I'm not sure you could be trusted to make a reply within the week let alone talk her off the forum.

Capt'n Midnight · 27-12-2011 12:56AM

Had her as a sparing partner once and for a few minutes I had her really worried.

She thought she'd killed me :pac:

Katie Taylor. Do you think you could beat her in a fight?
