Considering Starling was able to run giant slap avalanching Nunn close, I would have to pick him to mow over a much smaller slap avalancher in Taylor
Starling is too strong imo. I know that I picked McGirt to beat Starling, and Taylor dominated McGirt, but ABC logic doesn't work. Bottom line is that Taylor would stand in with Starling and trade with him, and I think he'd come out on the losing end. Starling TKO 11.
Taylor was better at 140, although he did look very good when he beat Davis at 147. He declined quickly after that, it was sad how bad he declined in 92’. I don’t think the 91’ Taylor beats Starling anyway. He may take some rounds due to his workrate, but ultimately would take too much punishment and get stopped late.
Starling outboxes and outfights Taylor. Bigger, stronger, smarter boxer with much better defense. Taylor's flashy combos won't fluster Moochy.
If Starling fights him, he wins very clearly and probably by knockout. If he decides to lay on the ropes, make faces and do the Starling Stomp, who knows.
