Jermain Taylor vs Carl Froch who wins?

I want Froch to win. But i'm backing Taylor to force the ref to stop the fight in 10.

Is this gonna happen in America?

 

Now that sounds better! :good

Far better than your first post where you just ask for one thing: Resumes. As in 'show me the resumes and I'll tell you the result right now'.

The resume can have a small place in an overall judgement. However, mostly when we deal with well-tested opponents can we compare and get an idea. The fact that going by reumes would have predicted Tyson, Ali, Marciano and Floyd Patterson etc. to all loose their first titlefights - should tell us that going by resumes has a very - very - limited use. :deal

 

when i asked what Froch's notable fights were, you immediately assumed that i was taking a stab at Froch and backing TAylor to win. In fact, I have not yet made a pick, and was asking so i can download some Froch fights and see what he is like. Even a fighter with no big names on his record still has notable fights relative to his own career

 

Oops, actually voted for pts instead of stoppage.

 

His notable fights would be Tatevosyan (compare to Bute), Magee a European level guy and good southpaw, and shot ass Robin Reid.

 

Now there. I have no intention of upsetting you and if I knew this topic would upset you so much, I would never have mentioned it.

Peace, feller.

 

hey now i am not upset

just to clear the record

 

Glad to hear it.

Go download some Froch fights and tell us what you think.

My take is that Froch almost has more power than he can control himself. Some times the KOs seem to come out of nowhere and almost surprise Froch himself. He is an unortodox hard punching fighter with long reach relative to body and height. He would make Taylor look akward I think and Taylor would have to work hard to make froch fight his fight, because otherwise Froch will make it a messy fight where there is a good chance Taylor will run into a power punch at some stage.

Another issue is whether Taylor will be shell shocked after the Pavlik fights and Froch's even greater power (but less conventional and slightly lower output) may put taylor into a shell - like Green was against Miranda after Green scare in the previous fights.

 

Sure thing! But Carl "Hulk" Froch is really a gentle giant deep down. He never fights anyone because he is afraid of killing them.

The British referees always protect him from himself too by stopping fights he's involved in early; they wouldn't want to have the likes of Tatevosyan or Rybacki on their conscience, now would they?

Give me a break! Feller Froch is hard as nails and sure can bang, but he's not much of a boxer. Jermain will tap that ass, that's for sure!

 

Taylor KO.

But if Taylor allows any complacency to creep into his game then don't be surprised to see Froch drop him.

 

my only question is why is taylor getting a shot at the 168 title. in his last two fights, he has lost to pavlik, and has faced noone else at this weight. i am not sayong that jt is not a good fighter, but i am saying that he has done nothing to earn a shot at this title.

 

He's done more than Froch has done, that's for sure. Taylor's second fight against Pavlik was at SMW, given that it was 4 lbs over the MW limit. Ideally, Froch would have fought Inkin with the winner fighting the winner of Jermain v. Lacy. Anyways, there ain't anyone better than Jermain to give a shot to against Froch.

 

so let me gwet this straight. froch has fought his entire career at 168 and defeated everyone put iont of him. but jermaine taylor who lost his only fight at the weight aganst a career mw has done more than froch at 168, therefore deserves a shot.

jt is a damn good fighter, but his name and what he did at 160 means jack **** at 168. at that weight he is 0-1 and hell no he is not desrving of a title shot. but as long as some so called fans of the sport prefer to see a name fighter get a shot we will continue to get tis garbage.

and yes there are fighters who are more deserving than taylor. those being anyone who has been fightig and winning at 168.

 

Don't get too hung up on numbers, feller; there ain't much give in between 164 and 168, you know what I'm saying? Kelly is a very big middleweight. Jermain is a big middleweight too. Look at Hopkins, he sure did well at the bigger weight, right? Jermain will only go 4 lbs north, he ain't gonna be fighting at cruiser! Only other feller who could have gotten a shot at the WBC belt is Pascal. Do you reckon he'd be giving Froch more bang for his buck than Jermain? Get real, feller!

 

he lost his only fight at the weight. my point is fighters should earn title shots not have them handed to them. therefore whether jt brings more bangfor the buck is neither here nor there. the fact is jt has not proven he can fight at 168. regardless of what your opinion is. waht ever hopkins did has no bearing on jt.
