Carl Froch Denies Rib Injury, Blasts Team Jermain Taylor

[Dave Rado]

I cant workout why Kessler isint licking his lips at the thought of knocking out this guy

Probably because Kessler has a more realistic assessment of Froch than you do. I think Kessler would definitely beat him but he'd know he'd been in a fight and it would certainly not be a walkover. And I doubt very much whether he could knock Froch out.

He had a rib injury before the Pascal fight, but he says it's almost healed now and that it will be completely healed in plenty of time for the March fight.

But is it just smoke? I await the signing of his next fight.

froch talks to much i hope JT ko's him i know people are going to say Taylor has no power but there wrong he is just a bad finisher ,taylor is not a trash talker from all the stories you hear you know he's not going to reply his prbably spending time with his family having a life,i hate how froch talks stuff about people and says how he could do whatever to them but he's best fight is against paschall the guy who was going to get his a** whooped by miranda at a weight in

The question was about Taylor's chin vs. Pascal's chin, not Taylor's vs. Froch's.

Either way, Taylor's has been tested more than either man's. It failed against Pavlik at 160 with a shot he didn't see coming, but passed at 166.

Pascal's chin held up to Froch's punches while he was rocked in his previous fight against a guy with a 38% KO rating; there is no reason to assume that Taylor's wouldn't hold up against Froch just as well as Pascal's did. Froch's never KO'd a legitimate top 10 fighter.

Yea, that is one of those deals where my dislexia made my mind think I was reading something before I actually did. My bad.
I would have to say that Pascal has an exceptional chin as well. He took allot of hard shots from Froch. I'm not saying that Froch could hurt Taylor, it's just that I think they are pretty evenly matched, overall. The only guy to really hurt Taylor was Pavlik and he is known for KO power. So I rate Taylor's chin pretty highly. The Lacy fight, you can pretty much throw out the window when judging punch resistence. Lacy can't really punch anymore and I doubt he would have tried to hit Taylor as hard as he could have.

[Addition]

Froch isn't injured and is ready to fight and Showtime have got a date for the match so this fight better happen.

i just hope taylor doesnt pull rank in this one, this is the kind of fight were if taylor shows up in decent shape and gives it everything he has, win or lose it will help him out as far as becoming a fan favorite.

Froch will NEVER be king aslong as Kessler and Taylor is still at 168.

100% correct.

Taylor and Kessler >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Froch
