    WBC Title on the line.

    Who wins?

    My prediction is for Jermain to win by late stoppage due to frochs face ending up like jeff lacy after the calzaghe fight.

    froch TKO11, it will be close fight with froch landing hurfully and taylor using his skills, then bam froch lands a sweet right hook and taylor stumbles, out on his feet taylor will continue to fight, froch will proceed to tee off when given an in an invitation and the ref will call it off.

    I like Froch In this 1, Taylor ain't had a good win in years and he's with a bigger, tougher, harder hitting guy then he can handle

    has froch ever fought anyone like taylor??? cuz i know taylor has fought guys who would maul froch... doesnt mean taylor will win just a thought..

    having said that...froch may be naturally bigger but taylor is too athletic; i can see him getting a UD b/c if he executes properly, froch shouldnt be able to find him.

    My initial thought is to say Taylor on points, but i'm actually finding it hard to call.

    I find Taylor such a frustrating fighter to watch, at times he can look awesome, like he could beat anybody, but then at others he looks like he's not interested and just wants to get away with doing the bare minimum to win, and i'm not just talking about from fight to fight, but from round to round within in a fight.

    Look at the way he started against Pavlik in their first fight, by round three it looked as though it was going to be easy for Taylor, but then he just seemed to fade away. Maybe making 160 took to much out of him and he'll be able to maintain the pace at 168, but then maybe he is just lazy and gets easily disinterested as a fight goes on.

    So it's hard to call as Taylor still has question marks hanging over him and Froch is unproven against this level of opposition.

    Seen some of carls fights of his website and gota say he looked poor against one of his best wins in Henry Porras (once stopped and ALexandrio Berrio and is one of Kesslers best wins). If Froch is a open as he was that fight he will get stopped

    Pascal is nowhere NEAR the level that Taylor is at.
    Taylor KO11...hmm actaully more likely a wide UD.

    taylor wont ko froch, best chance is on points which is highly possible. i feel froch though will be too hungry and wont stop hunting down taylor for a second. also is there the possibility that froch is being underestimated? like most americans do with the brits as we are supposedly straight up and down come forward punching bags. difficult one to call. im going with the cobra mid-late stoppage.

    How about an americans point of view. I like froch in this one. It was a fact that carl had a fractured rib in his fght w/ pascal, so to go hard 12
    means that he will definitely outlast taylor in a hard fight. Which carl will
    make it. I didn't see anything different about taylor when he fought lacy
    at 168 who looked ****. If he lapses against carl during the fight then he'll
    get hurt and finished. We may not have seen the best froch yet either, and jermain might rise up and revive his career. You never know in this one. I just think the fighter who wants it more and that has the bigger
    heart will win it. And right now, even though he is the champ, that man is
    carl froch.
    Just my 2 cents.

    I'm going to give this most likely to a Froch stoppage but very close to a UD, I'm verging on sayin Froch by UD, his power will weaken Taylor, thats coming from a neutral person as well.

    I'll be backing Froch all the way but I see this as Taylor taking a 166-112 type UD. Too much savvy and skill for the ponderous Brit.
