I haven’t seen enough of Taylor at super middleweight to say he’d be ‘the man’, but I will say that as we know, styles make fights, and I don’t think there’s anyone else in that division whose style matches as closely to his as Kessler. Librado would be a great fight to watch against Taylor, but he’d end up being outpointed.
