    Taylor was horrendous against southpaws. Does that give Holmes a good chance?

    Nah, he'd get taken out IMO.

    Taylor is not stopping Holmes. He went many years without scoring any stoppages, and Holmes wasn't fragile.

    Yeah, I take that back.

    I was mixing Keith Holmes up with Lindell.

    Keith Holmes just looked so disinterested during some of his biggest fights. He practically gave his title to Cherifi. I'll take Taylor in an ugly fight.

    Keith Holmes is one of those guys I never got round to seeing, due to one reason or another. Was pre-YouTube and we hardly got any US fights over here unless a Brit was involved, and I just happened to miss the McCracken fight. Only read about the guy in Boxing News or Boxing Monthly. I know YouTube is around now and all but I just have no great desire to watch him :Jest:

    The second Cherifi fight isn't bad.

    The Quincy Taylor fight was decent despite the flukey ending.

    definitely Taylor. weird thing about Holmes is he moved down to 154 pretty late in his career.
