Why are so many Americans underrating Froch?

    I don't underrate him, I actually consider this a 50/50 fight, I'm giving the edge to Taylor if he doesn't start to do those stupid mistakes he does in the later rounds.

    Typical yank arrogance. They aint seen him fight, too lazy to check him out on youtube, therefore he must be ****. I can understand guys who aint seen Froch fight saying "well, he aint fought or beat a top level guy and Taylor has, so Taylor is the favorite", but to reckon this is an easy one for Taylor - who aint all that great - is nonsense. Ive seen them both plenty and Taylor is in for a big shock, trust me. I eagerly await Froch smashing Taylor up and knockig him out in around 8 rounds.

    JT power is not that great and Froch has a granite chin so is really realistic to predict Taylor winning by KO?

    I dont know either. I just find it weird that there was suddenly this group hanging off Taylors nuts, and the guy hasnt really impressed in over 2 years, and suddenly he is this high class elite that's going to KO Froch.

    based on what? Beating faded Lacy?

    Based on him being an american fighter who has been on TV regularly. No doubt we'll be hearing about how bad he is when Froch beats him.

    He is what he is.. A decent puncher with limited skills and i dont underrate him nor overrate him. He's just not on Taylor's level, that's all, and given the styles, I dont see how he can beat Taylor.

    All in all its going to be a good fight b/c Froch is coming to fight. JT showed patience and counter punching in the Lacy fight plus he let him off easy when he hurt him multiple times. Froch wont have that luxury. JT against an opponent who has power but its not that devastating in the slightest. JT took Pavlik's punches a whole lot better in the second fight. Froch aint no damn monster like Pavlik.

    Yeah ,I just wasnt too sure Taylor could do it. I figured Pascal is much better defensively than Talyor and I thought Froch's punches would get through and yeah...Good fight!
