    Even though he didn't fight the quality of opposition that he should have, could the BT Express pull of an upset against Bazooka?

    The defending champion Gomez was a complete champion, Much different from the Gomez which moved up in weight, in later years. He had all the tools in his title reign. If champions Zarate & Pintor could not succesfully move up against him. Taylor would fare no better. In a brutale affair Gomez would put him away around the eighth or ninth.

    Taylor had the skills but not the durability.Gomez tko 6 Taylor.

    You ever see Hector Lopez vs Bernard Taylor?Lopez beat the hell out of Taylor through being smart and strength.

    If Taylor can last 15 against Eusebio, he could last 15 with Gomez.Problem is, Gomez has more of a all-rounded skillset than Taylor.Bernard would take the first three rounds, with Wilfredo taking the rest in an easy unanimous decision over 15.

    Disagree, which is rare with you. Gomez was way way harder to endure, and way more intimidating. He'd have every chance of stopping Taylor, in fact i'd bet on it.

    Gomez would dominate, outclass and finally stop Taylor.

    Gomez via a pleasing Duran-Bizarro-esque late KO.
