Congratulations Katie Taylor

Nodin

Katie Taylor won her Fourth World Title earlier today in China, and is now one of the most - if not the most - successful amateur boxers we've ever produced. A bit of "congrats" is therefore in order.

(Theres plenty of places to be smart, slag off the sport etc, so you might be as good as to do that there and not here)

I love looking at her box.

No way I'd get on the wrong side of her.

Cert for Olympic Gold.

I've a feeling she will be bringing home a gold medal from the Olympics.

Fair play to her.

St.Spodo

For my money, she's the best sportsperson we have. A legend.

Chuck Stone

Katie is an inspiration to young Irish people.

She'd bate the head off ya

Taylor is a living Irish legend, one of our smartest sports people ever. The way she reads her opponents is second to none. She deserves every accolade she recieves. Hopefully she can do the business over in London.

A great role model and athlete. An Irish world champion we can be proud of.

Nope. She'll need to win 3 fights to win gold.

A great example for teenage girls.

I'm well aware she'll need to win more than one fight. Shes tipped as one of the favourites, and due to be seeded in the olympic competition.

Anyway, hasn't she also had to win more than one fight in everyother competition she's been in, the 4 world titles, and the 5 europeans amongst others.

She's brilliant! Very proud of her!

She just has to be a flag carrier at the olympics, HAS TO BE, she has been an amazing ambassador for Irish sport!

She's a hot favourite, but not a cert. That's all I'm saying.

yea wooooooooooooo

She also plays, or used to anyway, for the Irish women's national team. I reckon she's probably the best sportswoman the country has ever had. She seems so normal as well. Like just a regular, sound girl who'd be good craic to hang around with. I also think she's really, really good looking! Every time I see her outside the ring wearing make up and dressed up, she's f***ing savage looking!

She's dynamite. I didn't get up on time this morning to watch the match. Anyone know if it's online?

Well done Katie, latest in a long line of Irish warrior women.

ScummyMan

Congrats to her, great achievement.

Mr.Biscuits

I'd like to have sex with her.

Sorry, to early to be thinking up puns.

biko

Good one Katie, goes to show there are still good athletes to spring from Ireland.

EdenHazard

She's real cute I think.

Benny_Cake

A world-class boxer, one of the best athletes we've ever produced. She also comes across as a really decent person. Roll on London!

coolbeans

Fair fix to her. The best of the best. No question.

I remember watching one of her fights on RTÉ year or two ago and Jimmy Magee making several observations about her breast...Only on RTÉ, sexist pig, right girls?

Lollers

Doesn't get nearly enough recognition for what's she's achieved. I'd say she could be one of the stars of the Olympics.
