Froch beat Taylor because he's more skilled.

What does Taylor do different than Froch for you to make that suggestion?

Is it Taylor's counterpunching ability? Is it Taylor's defense? Is it how Taylor reacts when he's pushed against the ropes?

What makes Taylor the more skilled fighter in your opinion?

 

are you ****ing blind? did you see the fight?

Taylor is clearly better. even in loosing

 

I think Taylor's footwork is ****.

Being able to fight taller opponents is a skill, isn't it?

I mean, if you were dominating opponent purely based on size and strength, are you skilled?

That doesn't make too much sense to me.

 

Really?

So, why did Taylor lose then?

He was clearly faster, according to you is better skilled, he was the former champion, and his power was strong enough to put Froch on his ass.

So, why don't you explain to me why he lost.

 

Taylor lost because he has stamina issues, and does not have a very good boxing brain. If he had stayed out of that heated exchange in the 11th, the 12th would have been a completely different round, and JT would be the new champ. However, Taylor has a real bad habit of fighting the wrong fight.

 

Like I said,WHEN he uses it,it's better.He did early on,he did it with Winky somewhat,with Pavlik he mostly didn't.
Taylor is inconsistent and can't adjust to repair his mistakes (which are the same for years) to save his life.
And when you have a guy that doesn't take no for an answer you will get KO'd with 14 seonds left.

 

Yeah, but being able to think is paramount to devising a game plan based upon skill, isn't it?

 

What did Taylor in was stamina. When he was attacking he was beating Froch to the punch, avoiding punches, and controlling the action. With all things equal he was beating Froch on every level.

The shift in that fight came when Taylor's punch output started to drop - the first indicator that Taylor was starting to fade. Froch capitalized and the rest is history.

 

I don't think it was his stamina as much as it was his nerves. Nerves obviously affect your stamina, but that's also because Froch was getting the better of him.

Beating him to the punch in this case was often an issue of speed rather than timing as Froch often countered Taylor with hard punches.

 

pretty much hit the nail on the head ..:good

 

No, he was less than 14 seconds away from being very seriously hurt.

 

I couldn't disagree more.
He beat him because he's a smarter fighter.
he beat him because he had a better chin.
he beat him because he's not a front-runner.
He beat him because he had a refuse to lose attitude.
Lastly and most important he beat him because he's the better fighter.

 

True,depends on which way you look at it.
I meant if he finished on his feet he would have won.

 

Froch is the better all around fighter than taylor.

 

Nerves? No offense but that doesn't make sense by my reckoning because if he was nervous he didn't show it over the first half of the fight. If he has a case of the nerves it would have shown from the opening bell.
