    ok, so i am a massive Taylor fan, i have been since he first started to get hyped and i have always liked his style, i thought he won the 2nd pavlik fight but anyway thats irrelevant.

    if this fight happens i expect that taylor will win. despite being from Nottingham, i really dont think froch is a world class fighter, i believe someone with taylors speed will probably win a UD against froch.


    however, recently i have realised that froch has some very similiar attributes to kelly "the ghost" pavlik. he hits hard, hasnt got the greatest defence, doesnt move much. has a good jab. and has some good powerful one 2 combinations, well surely this sounds like jermain taylor would have enough for someone with such little movement and skills?

    well that has been proved wrong, twice against pavlik. Does anyone else believe that taylor will have the same problems with froch that he had with pavlik, and what would your prediction for the fight be?

    I really like this fight and although I am a huge Kessler and Froch fan I believe Taylor to be the best and still improving fighter at 168. I would love to see this fight.

    I don't think Froch poses the same problems.

    Froch does not have the kind of activity and pressure of Pavlik, I think he'll give Taylor more time to think as he needs. His punches are more telegraphed, slower and wider whereas Pavlik's are all straight punches.

    Froch power will scare the **** out of taylor early, and he will go into his shell.

    TFFP, good point your right about froch's punches being much wider and more telgraphed, but i feel froch has slightly more power then pavlik and i think that froch would pressure taylor quite alot should he get him hurt, but not for 12 rounds as pavlik did, so what your prediction be on this fight?

    for me pavlik is better then frotch, but frotch more power. Problem with froch is he has no footwork and uses his feet to be planted to launch his shots with a movement (as shown by hopkins vs pavlik) these types of boxers are inaffective as they need to be settled to launch there shots.

    froch is not as good at pressure or work rate asa pavlik. I seriously think taylor can win this i really do. He has been in with MUCH MUCH higher calibre of opponents then frotch can EVER dream of!!

    you are too big of a Taylor fan!

    poor showing my good man.

    arguably same talent level in terms of tall, rangy, strong, powerful, average speed, durable etc but they fight in total different styles.

    Pavlik is a quality fighter. he is great at cutting off the ring ring and i think he showed he is good at boxing. his skills aren't limited either. he's got moves. taylor lost to a good fighter.

    Im not sure why people say Froch is slow.

    He was at least as quick as the 'fast' Pascal.

    You've got to realise that Taylor should have stopped Pavlik in 2 rounds when they fought for the first time. He was making Pavlik look like the ghost that fought Hopkins. Taylor eventually suffered a brutal stoppage loss in that fight which definately affected his performance in the rematch. Taylor boxed for 12 rounds in that second fight with a fear factor.

    I'd give this fight to taylor , froch and his arrogance will kill his chance of being an all time top super middleweight
