    I agree that he has a very good chin (and very good power), but I'd be worried for him if he ended up proving one of the best chins in boxing...if you know what I mean...;)

    Though I hope Taylor ko's Froch and his ego, Taylor would win this by wide UD.

    KO is the only thing that would be conclusive enough for the Frochluddites. He went to America, there was the time thing, etc....

    i think it all depends on which JT shows up... froch is a glorified b level fighter (albeit with a ton of heart) stepping way up in class

    if its the nervous unsure JT that went thru the string of fights after the 2nd hopkins fight... ouma, spinks, pavlik... then i think it'll be JT eking out a close decision in a fight that looks a little like the 2nd fight against pavlik

    if it's the mature, experienced and for the first time confident individual that showed up for the lacy fight... he's gonna put froch to sleep

    I really wouldn't worry about JT. His fight with Lacy was better than he gets credit for. He is friends with Lacy outside the ring. He can say it is 'business when we step in the ring' but I think we saw a little different. JT is getting a healthy dislike for Froch. I really want to see this fight.

    Taylor by wide decision makes the most sense to me. Froch is an exciting fighter but has too many defensive holes. Taylor's right hand will land at will if Froch fights the same as I have seen him in the past.

    I honestly think this will play out like Taylor-Pavlik I. Taylor will be ahead on the cards but fault down the stretch and Froch will KO him...I think from there the two will have a rematch and Taylor will pick up a WIDE decision win.

    Yeah, saw it earlier. I think Dwyer is way off on this one. Nothing he says about this match-up rings true.:huh

    Why is that?I thought he said everything about right.
    Pascal ain't as good as Taylor but he certainly is there.Reid was done when Froch got to him but still....
    And Froch winning isn't abad pick either,you gotta remember this is for betting people.he kinda always picks the underdog when he is a livedog.
