    This seems like it would be a good fight. Both guys have big personalities. Benn is in a lot of controversy and would sell the fight well.

    Benn has the size advantage but Taylor is a lot more proven at world level.

    How do you think this one would go and could it eventually happen?

    Taylor's confidence will be on the floor right now.

    Taylor if Benn is off the Roids, dude is average at best like Kevin Samuels would say (rip).

    I've not written off Taylor just yet, Benn would go right at him, not sit back and counter so Taylor would be allowed to fight at his best range, up close and in that kind of fight he's still hard to beat. Taylor UD.

    Impossible to tell. Too many variables, for instance...

    How much time has Benn spent trying to get pregnant in this hypothetical? That determines how much clomifene will be in his system. Will VADA be involved, who has been bribed? etc etc...

    Teo beat Taylor in his best range and hes a smaller fighter. Benn without the roids is still going to be explosive its in his nature, and as you say right at Taylors chest. Weve yet to see what Benn has lost really, and Taylors confidence might have taken a big hit as well. All big factors going into that fight, and who knows we might actually get a chance to see it.

    Kevin Samuels quoted on a boxing forum. I'd never thought I'd see the day.

    Benn folds Taylor and possibly ends his career.

    Benn has proven power and has the handspeed to catch the off balance Taylor, if Benn eats enough eggs we could see a 1st round stoppage.

    The current egg shortage may scupper Benn's plans. Lol.
