Jermain Taylor vs. Carl Froch

[Dirk Diggler UK]

They both suffered very bad beatings by the hands of far better fighters.One was saved by the bell,the other was saved from exiting the ring by the turnbuckle

Hatton took a 3 round beating. 8, 9 and 10 were the only really dominating rounds for Floyd. This was a fight where Hatton stepped up in weight and was expected to lose.

Lacy was heir apparent to the throne in a fight he was expected to destroy an old champion. He took a 12 round beating. Absolute massacre. If his corner had any compasssion, they would've stopped it after about 9

Forgot to mention this when i posted the RJJ thread earlier.

This should be an excellent fight, for as good as Taylor has been im not sure he will ever be the fighter he was before he met Pavlik.
For me I think the power of the Cobra would be too much for Taylor and i predict a late KO, round 9 or onwards.

you're right, he won't be the fighter he was before pavlik....he'll be better. he fought much better in the 2nd pavlik fight and I suspect that we'll see much of the same if not hungrier taylor at super middleweight. I do predict a trilogy to pavlik-taylor at super mw in the future after taylor takes over that division and than pavlik finally can't make weight at 160 and moves up.

Like the UK media didn't hype up Hatton to take the crown from Mayweather."He is stronger and has the stamina of a bull"He has the style to beat Mayweather"I do agree agree Calzaghe put on a masterclass performance fair play but everyone makes a thousand excuses about Floyds tho.

I'll bet my points, my car, my life, and my family on Taylor if this fight ever comes off.
