    Here's what it comes down to, Froch is fighting Taylor, not Pavlik. FACT.
    Triangle theories mean NOTHING. FACT.

    On this board Pavlik is one of the most underrated fighters today. FACT.

    Oh, and Taylor takes this fight, easily. FACT.
    Correction, those are opinions. FACT.

    And Pavlik's power is unproven at 168. FACT.

    Cheerio.

      I see Froch as the guy who went through war with Jean Pascal. That's about it.

        I wouldn't say Pavlik's one dimensional . He even said after the Hopkins fight the weight slowed him down and he struggled to double up on his jab . This fight for me will tell if Froch's world class or not . Will he be able to keep his belt and his 0 or will he do a Junior Witter and get beat . Simialar situations , Witter calling out Hatton and Froch calling out Calzaghe , we'll see .

          Pavlik said the extra weight slows him down . He'd be better staying at 160 .
          P4P to date looking at the two records I would say Pavlik's the better fighter and well known for his power p4p as well .

                  Pavlik has a much better resume than Froch. I think Carl has a decent chance to beat Taylor, but I definitely give the edge to Taylor.

                    Taylor lost to Pavlik because Taylor totally lost his way after the BHop and Winky fights. I have no idea what happened to him but he just couldn't seem to cope with being the champ. Maybe he lost the drive he had as a challenger, I dunno. Earlier Taylor would have made a fool of Pavlik. Hell he almost did it in the first fight anyway and most referees would have stopped it.

                    As for now, I have no idea. I don't know why but I'm expecting Froch to freeze on the big stage.

                      Unlike Mayweather and Mosley, Taylor's stamina is absolutely ****. I can't see him keeping it going for the full 12 rounds? Froch will find him eventually, and i can't see Talyor's chin holding up.
