Nothing but admiration for Katie Taylor but her "5th World title was the most memorable/iconic Irish sporting moment of 2015." A joke.

The Dubliner had his backers for his opinions in what has been a fine year for Irish sport. The Guardian's Ewan Murray and the Irish Independent's Daniel McDonnell agreed with his sentiments.
@McDonnellDan @PaulKimmage glad I'm not the only one to be slightly miffed by her status!

It wasn't long though until Kimmage was being called out as wave upon wave of Taylor defenders voiced their discontent at his... discontent.

@PaulKimmage They asked people, and that is what they said. Katie was under-appreciated before, London, so this is just a re-balancing, no?

@PaulKimmage her "5th world title" equals record number of world titles held.. therefore deserving of iconic status..
