It doesnt matter whether someone has the bigger biceps, the thicker neck, ankle, thicker arms or the bigger ****.. This is boxing and both of those men are in the same weight division.. Anyway im rooting for Froch... My head tell me Taylor but my heart is with Froch. Go Froch!!!
Taylors legs are skinny as anything and has a massive upper body for 168lbs. Needs to even it out more imo.
Obviously they are in the same division, but this is an interesting comparison given how many people believe Taylor will be outsized in this fight.
Bigger **** always matters. :hey So reach, height, and hand size don't matter? Neck size counts a lot when facing a heavy jab. By your reasoning, Pac v. Hoya was a perfect matchup because they both made weight.
This is what i was going to say, everyones(the brits) been saying Froch is the bigger man in this fight. But there the same height, and Taylor's upper body is bigger than Froch's. Taylor's a year younger and yet much more experienced, having been in with atg's and hof-ers. Cant see how anyone can pick Froch to win.
Yeah, it's interesting that Taylor has the longer reach. A lot of people are talking about Froch controling the pace with his jab but it'll be difficult for him in this fight.
Frochs Ankle will be the difference. But really Taylor is going to have to get his head straight for this. No off days like most of his defense's at Middleweight.
This is boxing and while Froch is less experienced and arguably less skillful, he's shown good power up to this point in his career, so I can definitely understand how people are picking him to win. How so many people are picking him to win though, when IMO it's a long shot, is a good question. Anyway, yeah, I just saw this and thought it was interesting because many people have been picking Froch and partially justifying it based on some false sense of size disparity between him and Taylor. Meanwhile I've been adament they are roughly the same size and this seems to validate my belief. So if you're picking Froch, do it for a reason other than "he's the bigger man". Also Froch has been quoted as saying that Jermain is just a middleweight who couldn't make the weight any more. I have a feeling when he sees him in person he'll be asking himself how Taylor ever made 160 (I've seen Taylor and asked myself the same question).
If anyone is controlling this with the Jab it's Taylor. That will be the punch that decides how the fight will pan out imo. If Taylor sticks to his jab he can beat froch easy. If he mixes it up like Pavlik where he was doing great with the jab then he hurt pavlik and went for it and got into a war and got him out of his rhythm.
Why do they do all this ****? Like Taylor's thicker neck or expanded chest is going to win him the fight. I must say, I am looking forward to the fight very much.
Probably because the Froch camp (and fans) have underestimated Taylor's size as a former MW and someone wanted to set the record straight.
