    Was thinking about this last week. It's going to be a bad time for USA in that particular weight division. I don't think either of these guys have more than about a 25% shot at a win.

      It's OK, I like Jermaine quite a bit myself, but he is what he is....a 10 round fighter, and with his body type, conditioning to the level he needs to be able to go 12 active rounds may be impossible.

      Nevertheless, I'm still a big fan.

        Taylor's not overrated. He's an excellant boxer, has great power, good handspeed and mobility...he's just not able to get his stamina to where it needs to be to compete for 12 active rounds. Some people can, some can't. He can't. No shame in it, it's genetic. Sort of like my **** being so much bigger than yours.

          With that said, I like both fighters and i don't have a bet o nthis fight but i'm pulling for Taylor on this one.
          damn i never looked at it like that , good point

              both fights are hard 2 call especially froch vs dirrell
              im picking abraham too win solely on taylors staminia/mentality after 6 rounds being ****ed up
              froch should beat dirrell due too andres inexpierience in big fights although his skills will give froch fits early on
              i see alot of similarities between haye and dirrell,anyone agree?

                I disagree, in that Wright fought Taylor differently than the way people are assuming Abe will fight him. Winky was able to come forward behind a southpaw jab and back Taylor into a corner or the ropes far too much during the fight.

                Abraham won't come forward behind a jab, nevermind one from a southpaw stance. Plus Abraham is like Julian Jackson compared to Winky.

                  You have a point there. But i was saying that Taylor has no problem with defensive fighters. I think that Abraham is more defensive than people think, but when he unloads he is a very dangerous puncher. Taylor needs to fight a smart fight. He might win on activity alone, a 12-round UD just for being more active than Abraham. Remember Taylor averages 60-70 punches a round which is a lot for a SMW.

                  Abraham throws combinations in spurts and averages about 30 PPR. That's not good against Taylor, you must pressure him and always keep throwing punches at him.

                      Taylor will beat the static and one-paced Abraham, mark my words!

                      Froch v Dirrell, I'm not confident enough to bet on it either way but my gut says The Cobra KO's him
