    Sure, but the idea that just anybody can walk through Taylor's punches and pound him to death just 'cos Pavlik did it is rubbish. Pavlik won those fights because he had a good jab, had a passable guard and could apply systematic and disciplined pressure. In the second fight, in fact, Pavlik arguably did outbox Taylor - especially in the later rounds. Call Pavlik a one-dimensional slugger if you want, but he still can box.

    It is funny how power can instantly disappear up in class..

    So what He is more skilled than Pavlik and he still got KTFO. Now he has to deal with SMW power and take on someone who is prepared to take him in to the trenches.

    Let me do you a favour. Yes im a brit but no, im not a fan.

    Froch hits hard can take a punch like no one else bar Librado Andrade.
    Hes got a long decent jab.
    he isnt afraid to engage
    plus his boxing skills aren't that bad
    he does tend to load up and get sloppy thats true but can't see Taylor hurting him so!


    all these attributes are a problem for taylor
    who doesn't hit hard at MW let alone SMW
    who needs to get inside the jab this is a problem because:
    after his bit rutal KO by Pavlik. hes seems a bit afraid to engage

    The only thing gonna beat Froch come Saturday night is gonna be the judges. I think that could happen, when you're fighting a big name in their backyard .

    Look its up to you
    IM going for Froch UD but the safe money is on this one going +10.5 rounds at 1.85
