    I'm pointing out your hypocrisy, and your prejudice against European fighters.

    How many American fighters have the courage to leave the US to fight? Answer: few.

    How many have benefited from home decisions over foreign fighters? Answer: many (for example, Holyfield-Lewis I, De La Hoya-Sturm, Brewster-Meehan, etc).

      Didn't everybody just say ALL the EXACT SAME THINGS before Froch Fought Taylor????

      Of course y'all did ... And that is why I will collect even more Money and Points

      What you guys can't seem to differentiate.. Is that Froch is unorthodox.. NOT untalented or unskilled..

      He has been behind in probably in 60% of his fights .. But he ALWAYS finds A WAY to win..

        ha ha...I have no prejudice against european fighters...I'm English...

        I just think Beyer was poo

        It's not about the courage for them to leave...they can make more money without having to go anywhere...I'm sure if they have the courage to box twelve rounds mano e mano...then they have the courage to hop on a plane and fight in someone elses country...

          Nowadays, US fighters can make more money fighting in Germany.

          They even sell out football stadiums for fights there, like they did in the US eighty years ago.

          30,000 tickets were sold for Wlad-Haye in a single day, more than for any boxing event in the US in many years.

          It is about courage.

              Nah, couldn't make it to the fight.

              Impressed and disappointed with Taylor all at the same time. Impressed with him the first 6 rounds, disappointed in his terrible conditioning. Impressed with his heart in the last round; I thought he was never gonna get back up after getting knocked down, but he rose to the occasion and went out on his shield like a warrior.

              But until Taylor proves his stamina, I'm gonna pull back on my support for him. Hard to back a guy who just doesn't look like he properly prepared when it really counts.

                According to Taylor and his team, he prepared as well as he could for the fight.

                  Damn, ya beat me to this poll.......
                  Kessler-Froch would be a good squab, but Kess would win on points.
                  Froch has a granite chin and would be very, very hard to stop.

                    Kessler is slightly robotic and very methodical, which makes him hittable and predictable

                    I would favour Kessler but Froch has a perfectly good chance at knocking Kessler out

                    Has Kessler ever faced anyone with power like Froch??

                      Taylor didn't get gassed.. he got HIT and Good .. In the 8th.. I am not sure Froch realised how hurt JT was at that point..But Taylor went all negative after THAT...and then it was just matter of time
