    Froch will probably start this fight as underdog - but a very live underdog!

    Pavlik made Taylor look a fool twice - should Froch look to replicate Pavlik's style and gameplan or stick to his own, unique, exciting, but potentially vulnerable style?

    Can a boxer ever successfully adapt another man's game plan?

    Froch and Pavlik are quite different really

    But essentially the lesson Pavlik gave was throw enough right hands at Taylor, keep up steady enough pressure, and he can crack

    I think this is a fantastic match up but it worries me. I think Froch is underestimating Taylor. You could see it on the Bunce hour yesterday.
    Reminds me a bit the way Hamed all those years ago had seen Junior Jones KO (or WDQ, but you know what I mean) Barerra and assumed he could do the same.

    Taylor has real pedigree. Who knows how Froch will react so far away from home. The signs so far are positive and I hope I'm not flying out all that way to see Froch lose the belt :nono
