And the 31-year-old Scot couldn’t help but express his dismay after seeing his spot on the list.

Along with a laughing-face emoji, the Tartan Tornado tweeted: “Number 4????

“What more do I gotta do to get some respect put on my name?”

Boxing fans were quick to comment on Taylor’s placement in the list, with one saying: “This list is ridiculous.”

Another said: “How on earth are AJ and Smith above @JoshTaylorBoxer on this list?”

And another said: “Josh Taylor is the best fighter out of the UK in over a decade.

“Sad that the UK boxing audience does not know that.”

One remarked: “Pound for Pound Number 1 all day.

“Absolutely destroyed everyone in his path, taking some big names along the way. Put some respect on the guy’s name.”
