    Dirrell might have alot of talent, but he has no chin and heart. Froch has become a lot better since their first fight, where as Dirrell is nowhere to be seen. I'd fancy the Cobra to stop Dirrell no.

    Andre Dirrell? Are you ****ing serious?! Robin Reid? Are you serious? George Grove and Sven Ottke? Frankie Liles?

    Winky Wright was that good but not so good at that weight.

    Sorry, but with the exception of Taylor, none of these opponents are "Great" boxers. In fact, MaGee, Abraham, Bute, and Pascal are only decent boxers and really not as good as you are presenting.
    Taylor outboxed Froch for 12 rounds before he ran of out stamina and got hit with a good punch.
    Froch is not as much of a boxer as a brawler. Whenever he faces a real boxer (Taylor, Dirrell, Ward) he loses.

    How is Kessler not great when Taylor is? How is Pascal and Bute not good boxers? Seriously, you're being a noob right now. And Froch stopped Taylor by TKO, so don't say Froch loses against guys like him, lol.

    He did lose to Dirrell and Ward, though. His first match against Kessler in Denmark should have been a draw, IMO.

    Why do ppl keep saying Taylor outboxed Froch for 12 rounds then got hit by a good punch?. IMO it clearly shows they did not even watch the fight or have forgotten it lol

    Agree. People are just stupid and their arguments are really pathetic.

    If Taylor had hung on and survived the scores would have been 114-112, 114-112 for taylor and 116-110 for Froch, hardly Taylor outboxing Froch for 12 rounds

    Well... My honest opinion is that Taylor was clearly winning, but Froch had his moments and by the end of the day, Froch was the victor, and it was well-deserved, he was brutal during the finish. So I don't get why people keep talking sh!t about Froch.

    It was a fight of two halfs for me, JT took Roughly the first 7 and got a KD and Froch took the final 5 and got a KD

    You could certainly have a point there, it's a good time since I saw the fight now and I remember Froch having some of the later rounds.

    No doubt JT would have won if he had hung on tho, but it was closer than many remember :) I think the Froch - Groves fight will be closer than some imagine aswell but Froch will do similiar to what he did to Taylor

    I don't see Groves winning, but if he does, he deserves the credit it's gonna bring him. Carl is a good win, even at his current age, he has proven that.

    Or you could say Froch showed an elite mentality by being able to pull a win out of the bag when it seemed all but over?, all about perspectives and/or Bias on here :(
