    If someone chooses to change their sex then that's their business, however, in a sporting environment particularly in boxing, you have to consider why they have categories and weight divisions... for example...

    Katie Taylor v Vasyl Lomachenko - both the same weight (lightweight) and both regarded as the best fighters in their category.

    Is a 10 stone man always going to be stronger than a 10 stone woman? Who knows... lets put them in the ring?

    Taylor or Lomachenko... Who wins and why

    It's really a moot point, because it would never happen. Nobody in their right mind would sanction such a fight, and Loma himself would probably rather smack himself around than fighting a woman.

    But for the sake of the argument, Loma would win by scary and damaging knockout.

    @TitoFan.....

    Your point is the 'moot' one as my point was hypothetical and therefore looking for opinions with valid and relevant arguments therefore I reiterate, they are in the ring together, the bell goes... who wins and why?

    Sensible and relevant answers only please.

    Is it something in the water over there??

    My second sentence answered the question. Why? 'Cause he's a man with all the natural anatomical advantages men have... that's why.

    Happy?

    @TitoFan

    What would make me happy is if you answered the question with proven facts... for instance can you provide and explain what anatomical advantages a man of the same height and weight dimensions as a woman would have in a boxing capacity.... (Your kick boxing/thai theory has no relevance.}

    So I'll ask again... who wins and why and just because Loma is male please explain how this gives him the advantage over Taylor.

    I believe if they are matched in weight and skill it's a 50/50 fight regardless of gender.... can you provide some evidence (boxing only) as to why this isn't the case?

    Well there was the time undefeated women's kick boxing champion took on a 21 year old fellow who was Australasian may Thai champ or something along those lines. Rijker was knocked out fairly easily.

    But obviously lucija rijker is no katie taylor so kayie taylor would win easy, ud of course.

    I'd also like to see master take on taylor so I'm all for Transgender people in boxing

    I would literally fuck Taylor.

    So...

    We have a thread in which those pissed off that there is not a fight..engineer one. A mod starts calling other posters names, in a very girly childish playground way. Suggests that everyone else join in and help bully a poster for not being a prick, and then turns around and accuse everyone else of doing not just that, but getting turned on by it too .


    Then unlikely allies, the mod and the 'EVERYONE IS RANTING BUT ME !!!' chap,....shocked to find themselves singing from the the same hymn sheet, engineer another reason to fall out with each other.

    Some of you British guys need to cut back on the Red Bull/ Steroid cocktails.

    They're making you quite feisty.

    One suggestion:

    Cover the name of whoever wrote the post...... respond as you would to any normal person..... and THEN uncover the name and lo and behold.... you might just be talking like a civilized person.

    @Beanz

    What's with the shouty capitals We can all read you in small font. One might think you were beginning to rant in your oversized font.

    Still waiting for an intelligent answer... who wins and why?

    There you go Beanz. Knock off the shouty capitals.

    Me? I'll choose not to devote any more time into answering why I think Lomachenko would beat Taylor. If...... that's ok with everyone.

    The shouty capitals are just a device to convey the apoplectic reaction of Tito to somebody thanking Ron for a post. It is not that easy to push my buttons. Want to explain this?


    You have been banned for the following reason:
    Offensive sized font usage

    Date the ban will be lifted: 03-12-2019, 10:00 AM

    I wouldn't usually bother but after my last perma ban and Tito pretending that the British mods had my back I thought I would make it clear you can be just as much of a cunt as all the other Brits here.

    Ludicrous.
