    I can't wait for this fight. I'm expecting a great performance from JT. I expect him to keep the fight on the center of the ring and make Froch look silly at times with his combinations.

    A bit of European bias going on huh? _ i'm basing it on boxing ability and quality of opposition.

    Froch will stop Taylor at 12:10 am Suday morning ... when the bell rings and he stops Taylor to hand him his title.

    After Froch, bring on the Viking Warrior. Or Bute. Or Andrade. Or anyone else at SMW.

    I think he beats him at this point of Lacy's career.

    My mother could beat Lacy at this point - to suggest that Jeff 'Left Hook That I Can't Use' Lacy can stand a chance against Froch....

    Delusional.

    Froch KO6 Lacy - he would win every round, break his heart and stop him.

    I am not that big on Jermain Taylor I feel he was partly an HBO hype job they let him fight smaller fighters forever before the Pavlik fight.

    But I fully expect Froch to get KOed like most of the Brits have been recently and the excuses will fly from his fans.

    Like I've said a number of times before, the only way Taylor loses is if he's unfocused. If he tries fighting off the ropes and brawling, he's toast. If he boxes, there's no way Froch can win, other than maybe catching him with a huge shot.

    Your obviously just an armchair boxing fan who's never seen froch fight to
    make a statement that he's not a counterpuncher. Or maybe you don't even know what a counterpuncher really is. Froch is an excellent counterpuncher with great timing. That's what he uses to make up for
    his lack of speed. He also has deft footwork and can manuever himself into and out of range at just the right angles. He also beat a fighter who's
    at leat as fast as taylor with the same power in pascal, and froch was injured before the fight ( fact ) Only people who are casuals think jermains
    a lock to win this fight. And really have limited knowledge on the sport.

    Someone said Froch is not known as a counter puncher. Well that in a way is true but what he is know for is staying out of range and then pouncing once his opponent steps into range to try to fire a shot. So I guess you could call this a pre-emptive counter puncher. That and he showed in the pascal fight (regardless of where you think Pascal is relative to Taylor) a mentality that when he is hit he always tries to fire back when his opponent is down firing.

    Also Jermain Taylor generally has bad intentions for the first few rounds and then turns into a boxer. We'll see what the implications of that are for Froch. If he can get the better of Taylor durring his "bad intentions" period that doesn't bode well for Taylor.

    Taylor would be ill advised to trade with Froch.Froch is bigger and stronger,hits harder and has a better chin than anybody Taylor has faced,inc.Pavlik IMO.Agreed that Taylor starts off quickly looking to unload single shots.It took for Lacy to put him on his arse for him to start boxing in the 5th,though that KD wasn't scored for whatever reason.I expect Taylor to lose focus at some point in the fight also and get stopped somewhere in rounds 9 onwards

    I see Taylor winning on points but KO'ing Froch? No way!
