    Taylor dropped Pavlik and he got up to win, and Pavlik has an excellent chin, what's your point?

    Taylor hasn't KOed anyone since 2005 and has only a 50% KO ratio. And Pascal is not a big puncher either. He's only had, what, 4 KOs in his last 11 fights?

    As has been said, Froch's chin is overrated. It's good, but not great.

    Woods was using his boxing skills very well early on in which Froch have none what so ever. And Woods had both his gloves up high so that Cloud won't hit him straight in the face in which Froch doesn't do. Froch defense is his chin. Taylor even though has pop he don't hit as hard as Cloud does. Taylor didn't even knockdown Ouma who is a junior middleweight but knockdown Froch? And Froch was losing the fight until he tko Taylor in the 12th. Cloud don't have stamina problems like Taylor does. And Cloud throws fast combination while Froch throws slower ones. My bet is on Cloud by late tko.

    Pav has been dropped by Zuniga, nearly KO'd by Taylor, and put on ***** street by Hopkins. His chin is decent, but it damn sure isnt GREAT.

    GREAT chin = Hopkins, Toney, Mosley.

    Froch's chin isn't in the same league as that of Clinton Woods - who has the best beard of any British fighter since Chris Eubank.

    Froch fights at a lower weight than Woods. And Froch was put down early by Taylor. I am not saying that he has a glass jaw and cheers to his recooperative abilities, but yes I think Woods is every bit as tough as Froch if not tougher.

    Cloud wud win on points or maybe late KO. Has to much speed power and workrate for froch.
