    I'd take Watson, Benn, and Eubank over Taylor, but I wouldn't take Collins. What about you?

    Disagree. I definitely take Collins. He was tougher, and smarter than Taylor, and had faarrrrrr better stamina.

    I think Taylor showed he could deal with the sort of fighter Collins was, against Froch. I also think Taylor was probably a little better than Reggie Johnson.

    I disagree with that too. Reggie Johnson was better than Taylor.

    H2H I would pick Johnson at least.

    This is how Taylor did against three southpaws:

    Ouma: He looked like dog shit against Ouma. And Ouma was washed up.

    Winky: Lost clearly to Wright imo.

    Spinks: He BARELY squeezed by Spinks. Honestly, I thought Cory pulled a draw.

    I would not pick Taylor over Reggie Johnson.
