I agree with you that Grater, Taplin, and Erisman are excellent wrestlers. 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 don't know if this actually makes him stronger than Taplin, but it definitely does not hurt him.
