This is certainly Froch's biggest test. I think Froch may well struggle to win many rounds but will win by late stoppage/KO. Froch needs to steer clear of Taylor/Pavlik/Miranda et al as they will chin him easily IMO.
i predict the opponent will pull out and froch will get slated for not having a decent name on his record.
Apparently Lacy is claiming the fight isn't going ahead because he's retring.....I'm not sure I believe him though even Winky said Jeff probably won't retire . If anyone wants a source it is where boxing is the scene . Froch has never really taken on anyone too much ahead of domestic level and to jump straight to elite level against a guy like Taylor would of been dangerous, so the Pascal fight seems perfect for Froch . If the Lacy v Taylor fight does go ahead and this is on the undercard it could get Froch some decent attention in the United States .
froch 8th round ko to become the new WBC super middle weight champion of the world defend against taylor/miranda/pavlik/kessler/inkin and maybe calzaghe if he ever decides to fight him then retire
