    Nallege at 160, I would have to disagree with you, I just can't see AA fighting a taylor with his athletic skills, jabs and somewhat decent power. At 168 ALL DOUBTS are erased, it would be a matter of time before aa catches him, he just looks sluggish and slow. I am basing my opinion from the Lacy fight mostly.

    Taylor is overrated Land. He couldn't fight inside. He tires himself out in fights, and he wouldn't be able to take AA's jab, bodyshots, or pure power. All that wild swinging would not land on AA, and once Taylor wasted his energy or tried to rest, AA would finish him late rounds.

    Yeah I see where you are coming from, he had stamina problems at 160 also. 50/50 fight at 160, pretty confident arthur beats him at 168.

    i voted AA kos Chad. i think AA moving up would improve him and add extra mobility and power but Chad would be going down from is comfortable weight and may not have the skills he has at LH

    To me, if you are not able to fight inside at all, you won't be able survive long in this sport at the top level imo. Wlad is about as lucky as it gets, and you see the comp he is fighting.
