I don't believe Taylor had a chance of finishing Froch off. Froch was still landing good shots in several of their exchanges even when Taylor had him hurt.
The fight was a lot closer than most people seem to think it was. Taylor was only up around two points going in to the final round, and that was only because of the knockdown. Froch deserves more credit for his victory over Taylor. Many people put Taylor's loss down to gassing, ignoring the pressure Froch was putting him under throughout the fight. From the 5th round onwards, Froch was landing big punches and hurt Taylor several times. The Cobra did himself proud in that fight.
