    Froch is a tough out for anyone. And much respect to Froch for coming to America to do his thing. He's a tough kid with a great attitude.

    Dont know much about Froch but anyone who puts Jermaine (gift decisions) Taylor on his ass gets my respect.

    Taylor has concentration issues which are tied to his stamina.. He does nothing great, but everything good. Too bad.. His career is now in shambles.

    Hats off to Froch, I'm not a fan but he stood up Taylor and deserve my respect as a champion. Now, if he want's Bute, bring him to Montreal, we will take good care of his now regular belt. So sad Taylor ran out of gas....

    lets be honest though.

    he was outclassed by Taylor for most of the fight it's just that it's Jermaine ****ing Taylor who couldnt finish his dinner.

    It was a good stoppage but Froch would have lost by split decision if Taylor could keep it together.

    Very nice, epic win! Reminded me of Bute v. Andrade...

    Froch will really fancy his chances against Bute now, even if he thinks he'll get outboxed...he'll KNOW that it ain't over until the very last second!

    and thats exactkay why Calzaghe would have taken Froch everytime , Taylor x 5 for 12 rounds , where would Froch have found his comeback against that?

    Mate, don't lose perspective here.
    Froch showed the heart and courage of a champion but Kessler would have battered him.

    Calzaghe would have ****ing mullered him as well.
    He doesn't run out of gas even at 37.
    Hope Joe makes a comeback to shut the guy up.

    wtf is this about taylors stamina

    in the last 3-4 rounds froch put more pressure on him than at any point in the fight and he shipped some huge punches and went down

    that wasnt the same as early in the fight when froch was being more tentative but in the same respect it isnt a mark of taylor having no stamina its a mark of froch beating the **** out of him at the end regardless of what happened earlier...

    good fight from both though, i think taylor has a slim chance of getting a rematch but it would be in england

    kessler would beat froch though, hes just much bigger than taylor and more composed down the stretch
