Is Katie Taylor the confirmed GWOAT of boxing after her win against Chantelle Cameron?
Going into this highly anticipated matchup, Katie Taylor knew it was fight or flight in her rematch against England's Chantelle Cameron.
In the first fight, the stage was set for Taylor to become the third Irish boxer to become a two-weight world champion in Dublin, but Cameron spoiled the party and gave Taylor her first loss.
The Irish boxer admitted she's had 'Plenty sleepless nights' in the build-up to the rematch, but like every champion, it's how successful you respond when you get knocked down.
And respond she did, beating Cameron after a grueling ten-round fight, with one judge scoring them level at 95-95 and the other two scoring in favor of Taylor 98-92 and 96-94.
Her victory over Cameron now means she is the undisputed and lineal world lightweight champion and undisputed and lineal super lightweight champion.
According to skysports.com, Taylor said: "Two-weight undisputed champion, that sounds very nice." She added, "That was the longest six months of my life waiting for this rematch."
"This was my real homecoming tonight. Whoever wrote me off, you don't know me very well. Don't ever doubt me."
After becoming the second female fighter in history to become a multiple-time undisputed champion, the debate is now whether she is the GWOAT or not.
According to dailymail.co.uk, her Irish compatriot and UFC legend Conor McGregor believes she is the GOAT, saying: "Two division, Irish born and bred, UNIFIED World Champions! Boxing and MMA GOATS."
McGregor has a point, as her resume speaks for itself, being an undisputed and linear world champion in two-weight divisions, holding five Amateur Golds and an Olympic Gold.
In her professional career, Taylor has beaten every woman she has faced and is 4-1 against the pound-for-pound top-ten-ranked opposition.
Since signing with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing, Taylor has been part of the biggest women's boxing shows in history, including Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden, described as 'the biggest women's boxing fight in history.'
Speaking after the fight against Cameron at the weekend, Eddie Hearn said: (Taylor is) "One of the greatest athletes I've ever had the pleasure to work with."
Taylor's only competition for the GWOAT of boxing is Claressa Shields, the three-time undisputed champion, three-division world champion, and two-time Olympic champion.
Despite the accolades, Taylor has beaten better fighters and tested herself on more occasions, with Taylor having 24 fights and Shields having 14 fights against weaker opposition.
Taylor has fought a plethora of former world champions, while Shields' biggest test came against Savannah Marshall, the former two-weight world champion.
Shields may have the accolades and Olympic pedigree, but when it comes to the biggest fights on the greatest nights, Katie Taylor has proved time and again she is the greatest pound-for-pound boxer.
