    It's an odd one, for sure.

    I don't think you're truly understanding me. I don't think Taylor has to fight cautious...my argument is if he fights a stupid fight by making the mental errors that have plagued him in his biggest fights, he will lose.

    He can still be aggressive as long as he doesn't do all the things that f*cked him over before.

    I doubt he has the mentality and the focus to do that so I'm picking Froch.

    I think we're in the same boat on the prediction :lol:

    Likewise. I'm willing to be in what I assume is the minority on this one because Taylor made the same mistakes against Lacy that he did against Pavlik, Wright and all of his other previous poor performances.

    I assume you mean Froch isn't popular here, you are wrong.

    Froch beat Jean Pascal who is better than Taylor, IMO. Just watch that fight, Pascal is a very skillful and dangerous fighter. I think he will win a title.

    Taylor's credibility lies on his 2 wins over Hopkins. It is well-known that B-Hop does not do well against fighters who throw a lot of punches all at once. BHop prefers to fight one-punch-at-a-time fighters like Antonio Tarver and Kelly Pavlik, so he can time them, dodge the one punch and just counterpunch his way to an easy decision win. Against Taylor and Calzaghe, he couldn't dodge 5 punches at a time, and was clearly beaten.

    Taylor is nothing special. He was taken to the cleaners by Winky Wright, and then lost twice to Pavlik. He was floored by Jeff Lacy who is not even in great shape these days.

    Froch has two big wins: Jean Pascal and Robin Reid (the guy who almost beat Calzaghe).

    suggest you watch a few of kesslers fights ,hes a genuine sm,with good power and a big heart also has good allround boxing skills.jt is a blown up middleweight and lacks a true warriors heart imo.
