    I went with 40%. I'm not adamant about it, but Taylor did pretty well against Pavlik in the rematch and Froch seems very plodding and slow. But Froch hits pretty hard so you never know...

    And it's a public poll :good

    I give Froch a 25% chance and that is based on Taylors inability to keep his focus cause honestly I don´t think the Cobra has the tools to destroy Taylor.

    Public poll because God's not a communist; he hasn't created all fellers equally. Thanks for the vote, feller.

    I like Froch, I really do. But if I'm being honest he's done nothing to show that he can compete with Taylor.

    i also think his power is over-rated. He's heavy handed, but no more than that.

    Edit to add: I voted 25%.

    Quite a bit of a chance though unwatchable.

    Its a 50/50 fight in my opinion.

    Froch has the punching power and natural size advantage, but Taylor has the speed and big fight pedigree.

    Both fighters are very underated on this forum.

    Im really looking forward to this fight.

    The cobra will strike, nut maybe only once or twice in the fight so it all comes down to those few chances as he will not win if it goes to points.

    Froch will win by stoppage. Taylor will start off making Froch look amateurish with electric one-twos but once Froch finds his range he will rock Taylor and take him out

    Froch is alot of better boxer than he shows in his fights. When he fights someone he respects he shows a good jab and concentration.

    Don't bet too much though, feller! Stranger things have happened than for an experienced top world class fighter to beat a 31 year old prospect!

    Just a punchers chance ... under 20% ... Froch doesn't show much skill and doesn't protect himself very well.

    Add to that he's never fought on the world class level --

    I am giving Froch a slight edge in this one. Taylor doesn't have the best confidence booster from have "lost" 5 of his latest 6 fights. And at 168 we will see a Taylor with even less workrate.

    Froch 55% - and I dont rate Froch very highly.
