Why is Jermain Taylor such a big underdog?

[D-MiZe]

What I can't understand is Froch being one of the favorites.

Because he beat Taylor.

[BetterCallSaul]

Taylor will win.

[FreshOutOfHell]

Because he beat Taylor.

After Taylor started fighting like a B or C level boxer. Froch is getting credit for a fight Taylor lost, more than Froch won it..

Something Taylor has done all he can to change with his new training.

Yet - the rounds he won against Froch, he didn't just win them, he outclassed him in every single way.
What I can't understand is Froch being one of the favorites, when he is going to get owned when he faces someone with speed and stamina.

Taylor has AA beat @ Handspeed, workrate, movement, height, reach, experience.

Looks like the exact same thing he beat Kelly and Carl with.

Taylor was very close to beating Froch as long as he comes in fresh he could win, hopefully he has sorted out his stamina but i doubt it.

the Ghost and the Cobra took the fight to JT.....pressure busts pipes!!.....AA is NOT that type of animal.......styles make fights!!......AA doesn't have the size that those 2 had!!.....but one thing he has is the hunger!!.....expect a war is all I can tell you!!!

Just like those fights, this is JT's to loose.

Think he will do better this time though. AA wont put enough pressure on him.

Froch's cornerman was telling him all the right things every single round against Taylor, it wasnt till near the end of the fight that things started to click in Froch's head, in the mid rounds he was down on himself and didnt believe he could do it, without that cornerman I think Froch loses, he still got lucky though. That with the help of Taylor gassing and not having the best ring smarts knowing when to stay away when youre up on rounds, sealed the victory for Froch.

Froch better be glad his mandatory which is Ward isnt facing him this Saturday.

About the Taylor-Froch fight.
I would rather be the guy who'd have to fix Jermain's stamina problems, than be the guy who'd have to fix all the weaknesses Froch showed in the early rounds..
