    Your forgetting Froch's got a chin like granite, never been put down or even looked like hurt. Froch wins this one by late stoppage.

    Taylor has never had aa 12 rounds fight where he did not had to give up a few rounds. He just can't go 12 hard rounds. He's the more skilled fighter but his chin is suspect. So, not so good cardio and not so good chin = Froch late tko.

    My guess is that most, if not all of the people who voted Froch by TKO/KO are from England or Europe. Pretty hilarious.

    pascals chin is obviously good, and froch is arguably a harder hitter than pavilik p4p, i feel as long as froch doesnt fight on pure adrenaline like his last fight and keeps his hand reasonably high he can wear taylor down for a late stoppage

    true, but he almost took out pav in the first fight, so hes still a heavy puncher

    Taylor is going to really put a hurting on Froch.... He is much too fast and strong, Pascal is quick but lacks power, Taylor is a MUCH better fighter than Pascal on every aspect, Froch is going to get TKO'd Late. Barring some Haymaker that catches Taylor blind, I see no chance of Froch winning this fight.

    True, but you need to look at his more recent performances ... I think losing to Pavlik really did help Taylor in the long run.

    Maybe because they've actually seen him fight more than once, unlike most of the Americans voting against him.
