    Lets not pretend that Froch is a defensive genius or that he has a granite chin. He is like a Margarito, but the right kind of punch, and he will go to sleep and Green has proven punching power with a good Jab to set it up.
    When did Margarito go to sleep? The referee jumped in to stop Mosely.

    It wasn't like Margarito was dead on the canvas aka Ricky Hatton.

    And lets not forget, Froch is also a huge puncher himself, and the first person to legitimately knock Taylor down. This is a close fight, and a good fight, but Froch has to be the favourite. He has just beaten a better fighter than Green in Taylor.

      also, whats funny is you have like 5k posts, and your attempt at neg rep came up as gray. i usually only give neg rep for posts so ignorant they are unforgiveable or an extreme personal attack in a post. but in your case, you are just a chump.
      I love it when it comes up as grey.

          Knocking someone down isn't an accomplishment when he has already been knocked out by a Middleweight.

              It is when he was outclassed for much of the fight, and would have lost on the scorecards. For all we know, Taylor is stronger at SMW than he was at MW.

              Pavlik knocked him out. Froch knocked him off his feet, then knocked him out in the same style Pavlik did.

                Green stands no chance against Froch.

                  My point is, a Middleweight has IMO less power than a natural SMW so if someone like Kelly could take Taylor out Froch doing it isn't that big a deal.


                  Pavlik knocked him out. Froch knocked him off his feet, then knocked him out in the same style Pavlik did.
                  A knockout is just that, a knockout. You don't score style points, it is the same result regardless.

                    All I'm saying is Froch was the first person to knock Taylor off his feet with a single shot. He must have considerable power and maybe greater than Greens.

                      Sorry, still trying to understand. So if one is knocked to the ground and the fight is ruled a ko, it is not considered a knockdown? Is that what u are saying? I think it might be and I think you are in love with Carl Froch. So many mo's on this website.

                      So when Pavlik blasted jermain to the ground, was jermain levatating? You do understand that making statements like that make u lose all credibility right?
