    Good fight, where I would make Garcia the favourite.

    Massive size advantage for JT though.

    Cracking fight Taylor would have to travel for it I'd imagine..you can tell he fancies himself to beat mikey aswell.

    Taylor needs a big win stateside first

    The Americans won’t know him and Garcia won’t travel

    Taylor should be charging towards Hooker.

    Big Taylor fan but Garcia is a level above and takes him out

    I would love to see this in Scotland but they cant even fill 25% of the Hydro so dont see a stadium fight anytime soon

    Can't look past Garcia at this stage. I actually think he'll stop Postol and look good in doing so, but Mikey is a different matter

    Lets see how josh does against postol first cos that aint a given by any means.
    Viktor will present some puzzles for josh to solve and whilst taylor is one fine fighter, Postol is a legit world lvl operater.
    If Garcia was to be made within the next yr id prob go with mikey but as has been said, cant see mikey leavin usa.

    I doubt anybody at 140 could k.o Taylor. mikey could beat him but k.o him? I doubt it..has Taylor ever been dropped in the ams?

    Yeah Josh is big for the weight. He could compete with anybody however his matchmaking so far has been very clever. Even if he beats Postol which I'm confident he will, it could still be classed as clever matchmaking.
    Would be great to see Taylor in with Garcia though just to see how fairs and where his actual level lies.
