I think Froch is a better fighter than Pavlik in every department, to be perfectly frank. How Taylor lost to him twice is beyond me.......
Froch has neither the style nor the physical talent to copy Pavlik. His best strategy, IMO, is to try coming forward and throwing lots of punches all fight. Mimic Andrade and he might be able to beat Taylor, because there's little doubt that Taylor has Froch completely outclassed in every area other than heart, chin and power.
If you listen to Froch's OnTheGrind interview, he basically says he doesn't have a strategy for Taylor. He says he's doing nothing different in preparing for this fight than he did his last fight. Scary, that.
How nice a guy is Froch though. I think Barry likes him a little bit as well!! No I think Froch is going to fight properly this time, I've said many times before, against Pascal he wasn't fighting is normal fight. Watch for the uppercuts, is going to be a very good fight. Also very nice shirt he was wearing there.
He probably "wasn't fighting his normal fight" against Pascal because it's the first time he'd been in there with anyone who was remotely talented, and it threw Froch off his game.
BS, hes got to this stage in his career, its not like hes fought 3 fights and hes put off by things like that, hes a quality fighter and we'll see on the 25th of April.
Yes but the quality and style of your opponent has a huge impact on how effective you are at doing what you do. This is one of the few fights Froch's been in where he wasn't pitted against a punching bag.
How can it be one of the best? Which puncher has tested it? Taylor is no puncher but he is going to embarrass the limited Froch to get a stoppage.
