    It could also be the class of fighters he is in the ring with.Some fighters chose to keep their hands low because they can get away with it.

      good point mate, this is also true, he has not had many tests and has so far been able to get away with having his hands low.

        Its a fair point to address before all this starts in earnest.

        Carl Froch is not overrated. He has a small fanbase of followers who see a lot of potential in him.

              Froch does hang his left hand awfully low but Taylor hasnt ever knocked out anyone significant in his whole career.

              Froch needs a big fight. At 31, he's running short on time. Hes been patient and I think he'd be well up for this fight. Im leaning towards Carl by KO.

                    no i wanna see another american embarrassed by a supposed overrated middleweight on british soil i.e (lacy/calzaghe),its ironic you talk of overated when mentioning taylor though,dont get froch confused with bums like gary lockett etc hes an exciting prospect like david haye is!

                    hes only been fighting professional for 5 years and his unorthodox style and awesome power would give taylor immense problems,he is without doubt a big threat to any SMW now calzaghe has done,barry mcguigan has nothing but praise and exspectation for carl,i tend to agree.

                      I know. But many people will be agreeing with that judgement.
