    Nope that's not it. I'm a fan of sarcasm too though.

    Jermaine Taylor is a miserable fighter who only achieved anything because of gift decisions. He is unskilled and pretty much anyone with any decent skill and stamina can beat him. Taylor only looked good in the beginning because Froch was letting him, and the knock down in the third was just a lucky punch. Taylor is basically a bum and was always overhyped.

      Okay. Who cares anyway, props to Froch. He's limited but all heart. Can't hate on that.
      Exactly. Respect him for what he is, not what he isn't. He's a tough fighter with good power and an interesting style. Not everyone can be Floyd Mayweather.

            I agree with you to some point on this statement. For the skill level of Froch it was a awesome achivement. i really think this guy is a novice fighter. I didn't see anything from Froch other than his chin. So to me for this guy Froch to beat even a JT at 80% of what he once was is awesome for him. ....Lefty

                  Around that time in the fight I said "Froch is getting comfy in there, look at him, hands down, throwing when he wants, controlling the fight." The guy in front of me said, "Yeah but he's going to pay for it". I just said "We'll see".
                  I disagree here the momentum shifted because Taylor stopped throwing punches. After a certain round you don't see him jabbing anymore and it wasn't taken from him. Froch didn't do anything to change the momentum of this fight. Of course he is getting more comfortable if someone stops throwing at you and you can find them a little easier. When that jab disappeared is when Froch started moving forward which is not his style. Taylor lost control, Froch didn't take it from him by any means like Pavlik did.
