LONDON - Irish boxing superstar Katie Taylor along with Nicola Adams established womens boxing in London in the 2012 Olympics as a must see event but four years on cracks are appearing in her armour. "I'm not sure I can go that far," said Taylor on winning her European Games title. Taylor, who has suffered just nine defeats in 11 years in the ring, similarly dismisses claims she is the greatest pound for pound fighter in women's boxing. "It’s a dream come true, everyone knows how much the Olympic Games mean to me and to have a chance to defend my title is an absolute honour," said Taylor. This included a controversial loss in the world championship semi-finals to impressive Frenchwoman Estelle Mossely, whom she beat in the European Games in Baku last year.
