    This is a guy who Taylor floored.

    No question about it, Mcclellan by early stoppage.

    Taylor also had pavlik out on his feet!

    Mcclellan was brutal early doors but as the benn fight showed, the longer it goes the stamina factor comes into play.

    IF froch comes in with his left hand as low as usual then he would be under threat of getting KO'D round 1 but if he alters it(like he says he is) then it could go either way! Unlike Benn froch has a SOLID chin!

    Taylor is more accomplished than McClellan. He twice knocked out Jackson (who was past his best), and what else did he do? Taylor twice beat Hopkins, for Christ sake.

    In his prime, McClellan had serious power, speed and athleticism, and often came straight out of the traps.

    The way Fraud conducts himself in the ring, he'd leave himself open for the straight right and get banged out like an amateur very quickly.

    There's only two things you need to know about this fight. Froch is criminally easy to hit, and McClellan's strength was really something.

    2 + 2 = 4, and Froch gets put through the ropes in the first couple of rounds.

    True, and i haven't really made a pick yet, but the guy was belittling Taylor which i don't really think is rightful, as McClellan's resume isn't all that, either.

    I'm not that impressed by Gerald's boxing skills - both Jackson and Benn were easily outboxing him with the exception when he landed one of his bombs. Of course, Froch isn't exactly Floyd Mayweather either....

    Taylor knocked Froch down, GMAN would do the same but keep him down. The fans picking Froch don't understand what a KO beast GMAN was, brutal power, technical excellent, fantastic speed. Froch is easy to hit, McCllelan is a fast dynamic puncher who went for early KOs. HE was considered the middleweight Tyson.

    Geez has GMan EVER lost a head to head fantasy match up on here????

    The people who are saying Froch has no defence = he would get banged out in 1, are you the same who said Froch has no boxing skills so Taylor will outbox all day long???

    New to boxing then? Neither Froch or Taylor are in the class of GMAN go and watch him McCllelan on youtube and compare him to how slow Froch is. And Froch was getting outboxed for most of that fight

    Right so GMan is a more accomplished fighter than Taylor because he looked good KOing nobodies and a 35 year old Jackson?

    Froch losing by early KO to GMan is a definite possibility, but not the forgone conclusion everyone seems to think

    Mcclellan wud destroy him inside 3 rounds. Froch has a good chin but no defense.
