There are 2000 registered female professional boxers, apparently. So it's not a minority sport? What a thicko

Huh?

It's irrelevant how many competitors there are.

Ok, so for me Michelle Smith is the best Irish sports person Ireland has ever produced
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Ok.
Katie's achievements outweigh hers.

Weird discussion. I think we can all agree she's a phenomenal athlete and a brilliant role model why can't we just leave it there?

Good fight, Saunders did way better than expected but there was no way he was winning that fight with four to go after what had just happened.

I suppose all the hard men on this thread will be out for blood again over a guy with a broken face retiring on his stool.

Great to see as he is one horrible man

Yes couldn't have happened to a nicer chap.

A bit embarrassing for Saunders given how he ripped Dubois out when he lost against Joyce.

He's just a horrible person and his wee lad is a cheeky wee f**ker too. Canelo is something else all the same. Can't see who can beat him atm. Although I did lose a bit of respect for not fighting GGG in his prime.

Aye, he lost the first GGG fight for definite though. He is brilliant but has picked his opponents well too, would love to see him fight a Charlo, Andrade or Betterbiev. Those 3 would ask questions of him.

He possibly lost both fights against GGG. He picked Mayweather and got totally schooled. I don't believe he would have beaten Mayweather at 152 catchweight at any time of his career either. Mayweather is too slick.  I don't know enough about the 3 you've mentioned apart from Charlo. I don't think he stands a chance against him either.

GGG won both those fights in imo. Re Mayweather, incredible boxer, one of the best, but for the likes of Hatton, Canelo etc to have stood a chance, they needed a ref to allow them to box on the inside, not break them apart continuously

You're in trouble if you rely on the ref though. Canelo was just too young/inexperienced against Mayweather.
