    If you think Dirrell won big, and Kessler won comfortably that's your call. For me both were close fights. And Taylor would have beaten Froch IF he lasted those last 17 seconds but he didn't and he got his head bashed in. But Froch was only two, maybe three rounds behind Taylor going into the final round. Froch was winning the second half of the fight.

    My point is, Froch is an underrated fighter. Not a boxer...fighter. He proved that against Pascal who he beat pretty comfortably in the end. One weight division doesn't change a fighter. Pascal still fights pretty recklessly at times and doesn't have a great defence. He still gasses early on in fights. Pascal is the same boxer as he was when he fought Froch. He has had good wins since, but Diacanu and Dawson aren't Carl Froch.

    In my opinion, the question is not can Froch beat Pascal again, but how can Pascal beat Froch for the first time?

      You don't like Froch, so you'd back anyone to beat him.

        Dawson is better than Froch though, a lot better. Dawson is also much better than klessler. Styles make fights man, and I think Dawson qwould make mince meat out of Froch over 12. He comes in in straight lines and can be hit very easily too.

              Yer, and thanks for telling us why?

              You don't like Froch. It's ok.

                I had it 118-110 Froch on first viewing, but it narrowed to 116-112 the second time. Froch clearly won.

                      I thought Froch won 7 or 8 rounds.

                      Close and competitive, but clear in the end.
