    Taylor should outbox Froch to a wide UD!

    I slightly favor Taylor but you should make this a poll

    Froch, by a big distance. The UK had two obvious superstars that came out of the world ams in 2001, and Froch was one of them.

    the other was Haye. while I honestly believe that Haye will blast out Wlad, i can perfectly understand why people would back the hugely talented Ukrainian.

    however, I just don't believe that Taylor is in the same league as Froch, certainly not since the second round of Pavlik 1. Taylor's style is perfect to defeat Froch, but he simply isn't good enough to execute it.

    Froch by big, big mid-round ko.

    Tampa, Larrysmith.

    What bets you want on this? i like Taylor and think he was a p4p-er at one stage.

    But he lacks the confidence now, IMO.

    I'm willing to bet Froch stops him - or the fight is stopped in some way in Froch's favour (DQ/TD we call a draw for this bet, if that's ok) - on any avatar or friendly no post bet (ie not years) bet you like. So, not a win, but a stoppage in favour of Froch. taylor wins, draws or loses in conventional UD, I lose.

    PM me if you like.

    Froch, but in all honesty it depends who shows up. If Froch is as determined as he looks and goes for it from the off then he WILL 'smoke Taylors boots' no doubt about that IMO. If Taylor is the same as against Lacy then Froch will still probably win even if he's not great. Taylor needs to be focused and willing to execute his skills for 12 rounds (he's never knocking Froch out in 200million years). I cant see Taylor being that focused so I'm going with Froch

    Froch will be beaten badly he is too easy to hit and if Taylor gets back on that jab he can hit Froch with anything he wants

    This is what I should've said.

    Look at Taylor vs BHOP both times (win, lose or draw on yer scorecard, the hugely inexperienced Taylor held his own), and his first two rounds vs Pavlik, Tylor can fight way above his ability. But I don't see that coming back.

    Right now, Froch is operating at a much, much higher level.

    froch By Ko in round 9 . i think taylor is coming to blast away he won't box froch that night even though he would win if he does so thinks it going to be them to unloading on each other and froch is going to win

    Froch. Taylor is nowhere near as good as some think. Without the gift decisions against Hopkins and Wright, people would recognize him as the ordinary fighter he is.

    At some point in the fight Taylor will get sucked into a brawl, and seeing as how Taylor tires out so easily I see Froch just getting the decision. If Taylor punches himself out early Froch will knock him out
