    No I've actually seen him fight twice the Pascal fight and some bum. He impressed me in the Pascal fight.

    Yes I have but it works for him.
    Taylor to me just doens't have it anymore I can't really put my finger on it. He says all the right things in the pre-fight interviews but somethings missing. Perhaps he had too much success early on and lost his hunger.

    Froch won't be underrated now. It may have taken him twelve rounds but he handled his business.

    Froch is dangerous to opponents who make a lot of mistakes. It is not clear how he will do with a more disciplined and consistent opposition.

    Haha, it wasn't a shock or anything considering Taylor's past. Froch obviously deserves a ton of respect for showing great heart and winning in dramatic fashion, but my thoughts on him haven't changed at all. I simply was too confident in Taylor, a fighter with huge stamina and composure issues. The guy got knocked out by ****ing Pavlik..

    Librado Andrade is a level or two up above Froch, he just doesn't hold a trinket. Time will prove this.

    Nah I still think he's hungry what he is missing is that extra gear . . He's like the car that can keep up with ev everyone else during a turn but in a streight away he gets dusted . He needs to really focus on conditioning and tweek his defense .I really beleve freedi roach would be the type of trainer that could fine tune him .

    Like that means he has much power. Taylor was exhausted. Pavlik showed more power than Froch against Taylor and Pavlik isn't a serious one-shot puncher.

    If you had flipped a coin there would have been a 50% chance of getting it right. An analysis of the style match would have increased those odds to about 60%. Nevertheless, it wouldn't have mattered whether you had relied on logic or luck, it is often the intangibles that win fights. Trying to guess what is in a man's heart on any particular day is not so easy to estimate.

    That I could not do. But if you're trying to argue that Froch has power based on the 12th round alone, that's not a very good argument.

    I had Froch by late stoppage, but I didn't think it'd be THAT late!!:nut
