my assessment of Froch vs Taylor

I like both of these guys. Have seen about the same of both except Taylor at a higher level. Froch is a little green when it comes to experience but no more so than Pavlik was when Taylor boxed him the first time around. Both have a few footwork issues and one has awful defence (Froch). However, what Froch lacks in defence, he makes up for with chin and ability to take a punch. Taylor isn't likely to stop Froch in my opinion given the number of fights that he's gone the distance in. Taylor had good power at MW but a big SMW like Froch isn't getting KO'd given that he's never been on the floor and he tends to have his feet planted more often than not.

The big thing for me is confidence. Taylor's still on a down since the KO to Pavlik - whatever he says. His confidence is knocked and knows that he can fold like a deck of cards when he runs out of steam.

Froch has a serious dig and Taylor's not as elusive as Pascal was. Froch's power combined with momentum makes me think that a Froch stoppage anywhere from 8-12 rounds is my prediction. I think there will be times where Froch gets outboxed early on and could possibly be behind on the cards when the fight ends.
