[Murray Kelm]

That fight was the beginning of the end for Taylor, he was never the same again.

Taylor was coming off a win over bum Jeff lacy. He wasn't ready for a real fighter

That was a great fight. Jermain Taylor was an exceptional boxer & he was beating Carl up for about the first 7 or 8 rounds. Carl prided himself on his exceptional stamina & he just got stronger as it went on. The referee was also excellent, the stoppage was exactly right. I remember the US commentators saying he should've let it go longer. Taylor was in a corner taking flush punches to the head over & again & he coulda got killed in there.

Froch was the most disciplined & dedicated fighter I can remember. He said that he tried to come into training camp at around 180ib so that training could be all about improvement, not about crashing weight. At the same time Julio Chavez Jnr, fighting at the weight below Froch, was quite open that he would come into camp weighing over 190ib

I tend to feel that a lot of British fighters from the past couple of eras were overrated and not really tough mentally or willing to take on the best challenges. That belief does not apply to Froch. That guy came to fight and didn’t care who it was. The beating have gave Bute was awesome.

You've got this backwards. They were all underrated. It's your lot that were grotesquely overrated.

Brits will fight anyone and have done so throughout history. Americans however, alongside the Mexicans, are the biggest duckers in world boxing. The facts and the evidence is very clear. Their opponent choices are hideous. It's why nearly every one has ducked at least one fight.

No one comes close to being as mentally weak and quitting fights like Americans and Mexicans either. Just look at the conditions the fight has to be in for them to take it. Then you look at how many quit in fights for no reason other than they didn't want to bite down on their gumshield. It's nothing but poisonous slander and spite to discredit British fighters. You're one of the biggest extremists when it comes to that as you well know. Whenever i've asked you to support your comments, all you've given is deflections, contradictions and hypocrisy amongst other crazy behaviours. This is all down to the fact we win most of the fights we have from the start of the sport of boxing. Slander becomes a tool for narcissists as their bitterness becomes too great.

Great fighter. One of the few Brit stars who was never protected. The Pascal win was a big one, but the Bute TKO was much bigger because it came as a 3:1 underdog.

No Brits were protected. Your lot however are nothing but protected. The closest you could say for us is Fury. But even then, he's done something no American could or would under the same conditions. Not only that, but he's agreed to fight Usyk. All he needs to do now is fight AJ and it's cool. There is not chance your guys fight who they should. They'll either never fight them or wait until they're shot for the perception. The same old story.

The Taylor fight was in Connecticut. You might be confusing it with the Bute fight.

He's joking as Carl said he's lost his memory on the Taylor fight. He clearly hasn't forgotten about Wembley as he talks about so often.

You're confusing the Bute fight with the rematch with Groves which was in front of 80,000.

Posters on here who've never boxed will probably be surprised at how often what Froch described happens.

I've happen quite a few fighters tell me they thought they had a " minor " concussion.
Same as Froch. They say they were on auto pilot and just toughed it out.

It's After the fight where the effects of combat are trully felt.
