    Now you are making some sense

      I dont think it is neccesarily down to lack of heart or stamina.He seemed to be coasting in the 12th and he got caught and then got finished off,so if anything it was a lack of concentration that cost him.

        Exactly crust. People are ignoring the fact that Taylor wasn't hurt and was still boxing fine. Then he gets hit with a big shot and all the sudden it's all about stamina. I'm not saying Taylor wasn't tired, but to say that's the only reason he lost, is a disservice to Carl Froch. The Cobra finished the show the way he should have.

          I do think Taylor has heart but i am not sure if his heart is fully in boxing at the moment if that makes sense, i think maybe he should take a break for a bit and come back fresh.

            Froch was tired as well,he must have been after walking down Taylor and taking all those punches.Also,Froch's chin is something else.Some of the shots he took looked sickening,but he just kept coming.

              i dont think he needs a break.... he just needs to train harder, and longer. He needs to act like he really wants it, and get he ferocity back

                You could say that is Heart.

                  Froch was exhausted. Anyone that says different wasn't watching the fight closely. In the 11th round, I looked over to my friend and say "They're both spent."

                    Fair play to Froch though, that was world class closing of the fight, he knew when to jump on Taylor and landed punch after punch.

                      Yeah i agree just some times having a break from something can be a good thing.
