    If Taylor had survived Froch how bad a win would it have been?

    Alright suppose after Taylor had gotten kd in the 12th against Froch he got up got on his bicycle ate some shots made it to the bell and won the UD. Would that win have been the worst championship win you had ever seen? Keep in mind Froch was the defending champion even though he was favored to lose. I mean if Taylor would have made it to the bell would he be respected as a champion right now, everyone knowing he was so extremely close to being ko'd? So how lousy a win would it have been had Taylor survived against Froch if everything went the way it went except for the end?...discuss, poll coming.

        but cotto was behind on the scorecards going into the 11th so how was it like that fight?

          Taylor had that win in the bag. A close fight but he had the win. In no way, shape or form was that fight like Cotto vs Margarito. Cotto was losing the fight on all scorecards by the 10th, and was taking a lot of punishment, and never even hurt Tony. Taylor hurt and KD'd Froch and was winning the fight.

            I mean everyone knows the scores were in Taylor's favor and a win is a win......technically, I guess but would he have had to rematch Froch to save face kind of like Bute is rematching Andrade.

                  I had the fight dead even heading into the 12th. Froch would have won outright on my card regardless.

                    It woulda been good. Knowin he survived a rally from Froch to win a tough fight would be more impressive imo. It mos def beats gettin KTFO.
