I just don't understand how you can say that not cutting a lot of weight will hurt Neil stregth-wise. Actually, the opposite is true. By being able to maintain his normal body weight and not have to limit his diet, Erisman will actually benefit strength-wise.
I misspoke saying not cutting weight would hurt Neil strengthwise. What I should have said was that Taplin being stronger, and heavier would be to Neil's disadvantage. Those of us that have cut weight (and done it correctly) know the benefits of losing weight, but keeping your strength. It can make a huge difference. All things being equal, I would bet on the wrestler losing 10 pounds as opposed to the one wrestling his natural body weight.

Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn- and most do.
