Taylor is way more hittable than Hopkins and Froch landed a mere 5-6, 9 tops(except the 12th round), punches on Taylor and Taylor is no defensive wizard.
word.
Froch is garbage honestly. It's only a matter of time before he fights someone with stamina and world class SMW power. His style has too many flaws
Hopkins hits harder then he gets credit for and Pavlik has a pretty good beard. I say Hopkins can stop froch, if not a really one-sided fight more one-sided then Calzaghe/Lacy.
