What is the standard though? It's a bit like womens rugby

Agreed.

Yeah depends on what the comparisons are. Are you comparing along side the likes of Roy Keane Liam Brady and George Best? Or individaul sports?  Sean Kelly . If you don't break a sweat it's it's game not a sport sorry golf and snooker.

Well done Katie. Irelands greatest for sure.
Delighted for her.!

[Tony Baloney]

Well done Katie. Irelands greatest female boxer for sure.
Delighted for her.!

Definitely.

Ireland greatest Irish woman boxer. If Katie wasn't boxing how many people will watch it from here?

Btw I think she's amazing but I'm not convinced on the sport being recognised as top class. I watched more of the Irish ladies rugby last night than I did of Katie's fight

[Cunny Funt]

Well done Katie a special talent. Hopefully the rematch in Croke Park goes ahead, what an occasion that would be.

[Captain Scarlet]

Ah they have to bring her home to Croke Park.
You'd be looking at over 80,000 and a massive payday for her.

It's a defining moment in woman's sport though. She's done a special thing and will go down in history. Great ever Irish sports person? I'm not so sure but she's definitely up there as the most influential ever.

I agree, and would be great if she was making good money to show for her efforts

[nrico2006]

Strange that she still hasn't went for the McCaskill rematch with the chance to be undisputed in two weights.

7 figure payday apparently

[bennydorano]

Watched the Stevenson v Valdez fight there. Hard to believe them boys are in the same weight division. Stevenson vastly superior as well as a nightmare southpaw, bit of a gobshite tho.

That would be fantastic. Would love to see it.
What a woman. Irelands greatest sportsperson by a mile.

[laoislad]

If it wasn't already blatantly obvious, she is confirmed as the greatest athlete Ireland has ever produced. What a win! Amazing. Such heart she showed.

Rory tho??!!

She'd box the head off him I'd reckon 😜

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Im no hater of Rory but fcuk id love to see that 😃

Take out flights accommodation fees trainers managers nutritionists head coach and whatever else they use comes out of that 7 figures you think she got...

Outside of Katie Taylor I couldn't name another famous boxer other Ali's daughter and I couldn't even remember her first name.

And just because some clampits say she's Irelands greatest sports person doesn't mean she is.

It's a very small sport of which Katie is the best at her weight division nothing else
