i disagree with allot of what your saying. Just because Froch is flashy does not mean he is not a skillful fighter. Anyone who fights with there left hand that low and wins a world title has to have skills defensivley and offensivley. I really think Pascal is a top fighter and will proove it agaisnt Diancou. Hand Speed does not mean skill, but can make someone look more skillful. Also ask Pascal if Froch is slow, he will tell you no chance. Froch was taking allot of flush shots, but he compaltey changed the fight going into the last 4 rounds to take a fight at a distance. It was very even after 8. Froch certainly took allot less shots in the last 4 rounds, and compeltley out worked and out boxed Pascal. So i think this overrules your comment about adaptability. Froch is the biggest puncher in the division behind Kessler. He is tough, strong but also a good boxer. I don't think Taylor is strong enough or tough enough to beat Froch. Its still a 50-50 fight. and if it was not in the top 5 fights of the year, what was better?
