    Taylor? My goodness that is like throwing in Ali could not beat Williams (Carl 'The Truth'), because he could not beat Berbick. Jackson had a best before date of 1992, that fight was what 95?

    Jackson always beats Benn at 160lbs IMO. Why? Because both were devastating punchers who suffered crushing defeats (Jackson/McCallum; Benn/Watson), but the difference being Jackson learnt from his defeat and peaked in the couple of years after the McCallum fight; Benn though learnt little, and it was not until he lost again (against Eubank) that he got smart and started to box a bit as well.

    Benn was a 168lber by then, he never learnt his lesson at 160lbs; Jackson learnt his 154 and peaked then slightly dipped because of bum eye moving up to 160. But for the fight to happen at 160, it would of had to of been in 89/90, thus Jackson would have the advantages.
