    Taylor v. Froch

    I seen that fight again on replay last night on shotime and i almost forgot how entertaining that fight was.

    What do you guys think is next for taylor?

    I felt bad for him because he fought so well...well enough he could have won a close decision...he's had hard luck as of late...two losses to pavlik (one of which he could have easily won) and now getting knocked out in the final moments of the last round in a fight he fought so well.

    what does taylor need to do in your opinion to get back on the right path and being dominant? (again?)

    i personally think he had pavlik beat in the first fight but got was too excited and punched himself out and then pavlik finished him off...with froch it was a much closer fight but without the knockdown and knockout i would have had taylor up by a point...

    he knows he was that close to winning...think about it...its kind of sad...

    i see a lot of promise in him still...he's very skilled and naturally talented...he's a boxer puncher and he's very good at it...cracked pavlik's chin (who many thought was uncrackable) and put froch down (1st in his career wasnt it?).

    i think a rematch with froch is in order.

    agree? disagree?

      he needs to be reborn as someone else

      theres not much he can do to change how he fights (or his stamina for that matter) at this point in his career

        He was the first fighter to knock down Kelly Pavlik and Carl Froch. He actually hurt both of them too it wasn't any flash knock downs or glove-grazed-the-canvas type ****, they were k n o c k d o w n s, like bam! you down son!

        Taylor is 30 years old, but an old 30, maybe 35. He's gonna have to pull a Hopkins and start using his basic boxing fundamentals since he does not have the stamina to go hard all 12 rounds anymore. I agree he was fighting very well in the Froch fight, Froch just got desperate for the KO and actually got Taylor with 14 secs left in the fight. Official judges had Taylor winning the fight on the scorecards.

        Hopefully he comes back, he makes for exciting fights, i don't remember Taylor being in a boring fight. Even made Spinks look slightly exciting(no offense to Spinks).

          Taylor should have put the knee in the 12 because of ran out of it and buy time and he would have won the fight.

              Froch beats em all.... (TaTa B/Hop & Jonsey)
              Most people don't know about him yet...
              Froch Rocks.... Whoever he fights next (probably 'The Ghost') gets retired...

                    Rematch...or fight someone else at 168. I think he could beat Allan Green...
