The Froch fight over the weekend was great viewing, it was a war,the best fight ive seen this year.

Problem is that Froch seems to have a non-existant defence, he must have an outstanding chin because he took some bombs in that fight. This would not be good enough against JT.

Taylor is a class act, i think he will beat Froch but Froch will have his moments in the fight.

The fight was good one, both fighter show great chins, heart and Froch as always great power, I think Pascal's game plan was not smart, he should try to outbox him not to fight with Froch, Pascal was much more faster, how many times he catch Froch flash, but I don't know about PAscal's power, but I would like to see this guy again, he is young and has future IF HE WORKS IN his defence and power, if not I don't see him winning any fights against good oponents....About Froch I would like to see him against Bute, I think he can take Bute out, Andrade fight shows that Bute's chin is not as good and Froch hits much more harder than Andrade IMO....

[brownsugar7]

I think Bute is the weakest link of all the super middle champs,.. and Taylor vs Froch would be a more crowd pleasing fight,.. but it would be a mistake for Taylor to wait 5 whole months for his next fight,.. ridiculous..

Theres no doubt that taylor will run.He run last time and fought lacy so theres no doubt he will do it again hes yellow and wont be the only one to run because carl is the most ducked fighter in the world of boxing today

That's pretty funny! I can't wait for Taylor to school your precious Crotch!!!

I hope they make this fight. It would be an exciting match up. Froch carries his hands too low and has the kind of slow work rate that Taylor flourishes in. I see Taylor possibly stopping him in 4 or 5 but Froch does have heart.

Listen to you dude you just compared froch to kelly pavlik...you don't even deserve to be destroyed after that one...One has star quality One doesn't, One has brutal power One doesn't One is a american One isn't...So how the **** are they similar?

Be fair mate. Pavlik can't help being American..

[ACHlLLES]

Pavlik is better then Froch, way better. Pavlik would beat froch's ass and would ko him if Froch wants to be an idiot and fight with his hands low. No one has that granite of a chin, even Margarito has more sense then Froch and blocks punches with his gloves at times.

You seriously see Taylor stopping him in 4 or 5 rounds? I don't think Taylor stops him at all, a unanimous decision is the most likely result in favour of Taylor.

Yeah, Froch does carry his hands low, but that is his style, but i'm sure if another fighter makes him respect their power, he'd have some sort of defense. If you watched the Pascal fight, when Froch was getting tagged by huge shots, after the 9th round he did actually bring his hands up. I think this was partially due to stamina problems, and also the fact he carried a cracked rib into the fight. The fact he carried a cracked rib, and still show zero defense shows tremendous heart.

Taylor is far more clever and ring-smarter then Pascal, so i don't think he'd be drawn into a toe to toe exchange which favours Froch. Although, you have to be sure that a Froch power shot will land eventually, and how Taylor could sustain continuous power shots will prevail an answer.

If Froch manages to wobble Taylor mid to late rounds, i think he could finish Taylor. If Taylor keeps composed and not get drawn into Frochs plans, he would decision him. Kessler is kind of similar to Taylor, he fights in spurts, with combo's that would shake Froch all night. A defense would be needed for these calibre of fighters for Froch to stand a chance.
