    Yes, because TFFP knows more about boxing than Carl Froch lol

    Let's hope Carl is reading and learning from this thread

    I've seen those uppercuts land and they look devastating but that was at British level. Against World Class opposition he'll have trouble landing many of them and should work on shortening them up quick style.

    I'm fairly certain that TFFP invented boxing. And when it didn't catch on, he invented Joe Calzaghe to punish us all.

    This is is a good point actually and goes to the heart of why Taylor was so effective for the majority of the fight until he tired. Froch's lack of ability when it comes to the movement (or lack of it) of his feet and head means that he's been able to throw that uppercut from a landable position until he stepped up in class on Saturday. He knew when he was throwing those uppercuts that they weren't going to land but it was just a way of getting in Taylor's face because he just couldn't cut down the distance with any of his own movement until Taylor discovered he had a big leak in his gas tank

    Body shots would set up the uppercuts nicely. Body shots would also help break the opponent down.

    I think if Carl tries to break opponents down bit by bit he wouldn't need a last gasp stoppage like that.

    I think confidence is a big thing also. There was a tentative look about him for much of the fight. However when he realised the impact his long right had, he looked good in there. It's not like Taylor "simply tired and knocked himself out" - Froch let the right go freely at the end and they were heavy, heavy shots with real impact.

    I'd like to see him in with a strong fighter like Pavlik, Bika or Andrade. Where he can use a hard jab, drive the opponent back, set up body shots then uppercuts...and then throw the left-right power combo when there is a good opening.

    I'd hope so. TFFP has noted the only working punch for Froch is the jab and straight right. His hooks and uppercuts are clownish. I'm sure a world class trainer like McCracken will have seen this.

    TFFP is not a human, it's a super boxing computer, if you put your questions in, it gives out the answer.

    I Heard Golden Boy are wanting to buy TFFP.
