    Taylor will wipe the floor with him, but yes, he's proven he's a good fighter.

    Brilliant fight, I think I over rated Froch, but damn what a performance, his right hand is so slow though, if it was faster i think he might have got a knockdown tonight atleast.

    Froch is 50/50 with Bute in my opinion, but Taylor and Kessler should beat him easy enough.

    FOTY

    I think Kessler would outbox Froch - Pascal didn't have the skills to do so consistently.

    Froch really backed up his talk though, props to him.

    Cracking fight, scores were pretty wide, I had it 116-113 to Frochy.

    Great, amazing, brilliant fight!

    Both had very dodgy defence but iron chins and traded some huge shots... quite surprised neither went down. I'd fancy Froch to beat Taylor after watching that.

    Froch really has an IRON CHIN, Taylor might beat him but he won't hurt him.
     
  9. Fight of 08 for me.

    And that chin was amazing in round 5 he just took amazing bombs

    Excellent fight. Kessler would beat either man here but this was a great fight, of itself. Impressed with both guys.

    Good win for Froch. But I'm not sure he's ready for Kessler or Calzaghe.

    not sure about wiping the floor. i cant see taylor taking him out after seeing the punches he took tonight and taylor hasnt got the greatest beard. would be an interesting fight.
    i think kessler would cause him problems though.

    Niether guy would stand long against Kessler, they'd get tagged constantly be kesslers jab. Nice fight, but not at the level of Kessler, Taylor and Bute.

    I think either would beat Bute - and give Taylor a decent fight, or Kessler for that matter.

    It was an excellent fight, but not surpassing Vasquez Marquez III or Cotto Margarito for me.

    Are you kidding me ?

    Ive watch every Bute and Pascal fight and most of them live cause I live in Montreal and let's me tell you Bute is way better than Pascal and would beat him and froch easily. In fact, Andrade would get by pascal and froch in term of rounds winning.

    Kessler is just in another league.

    But props to Pascal, he has heart when he get hit hard.
