    Watching Froch on the BBC his style just seemed so unsuitable for success at the top level. I remember after the Magee fight thinking that he could probably fight for a world title though but had no confidence in him to win it.

    After the Pascal fight I had changed my mind a bit and thought he was a bit of a handful but at the time Pascal wasn't really a top name so I didn't read too much into it. Then for the Taylor fight I was convinced he'd be easily out boxed. I remember watching it on a stream and there was the usual Brits vs Yanks banter in the comments box. After the first 4-5 rounds it looked pretty certain Froch was going to get done and all the yanks were giving it the big one. Then came the 12th round! One of the most exciting rounds I've ever watched, only the american that was running the stream on a slight delay obv got the hump when Taylor got stopped so he cut it off and there was a few moments when I wasn't sure if he had stopped him or not!

    After that fight I became a believer and you'd be silly to bet against Froch again at SMW unless it is against Ward!

    Yes i would, i can spot a special fighter/boxer a mile away. I told every one about him and Kell Brook before he had even won the British Title.
    So as you can see it came as no surprise to me!
    The next soon to be World champs from Britain are
    Billy Joe Saunder.....Lee Selby...Khalid Yafai
