Lou di Bella sounds dismissive of Froch but he's always been arrogant ( old fat men shouldnt have their ears pierced )Quote:

Some good points Rob . i agree with you , both can be lazy ,Quote:

I agree too that it is a pick em fight. But I just feel froch really has a great chance here. I really think that hes going to stop Taylor i just know that he can do this. Taylor is an excellent fighter, but against Ouma and spinks he at times looked like the power at 168 might be a too much for him. Froch's accuracy will also factor in this. Its a real tough fight but i just think froch can do this ! ;D
How can Froch tighten up his defense a bit ?? his whole style is based on having his hands at his waist and just using his reflexes, but the sad thing for him he ain't no Roy Jones Jr and that low hands style will get him in big trouble against Taylor.Quote:

I think Froch defense has been abit lacks in the past as he hasn't feared the opposition in the past but will know that Taylor is genuine World Class and realise he needs to tighten up the defense.
If this fight happens its a great match-up and I certainly can't see Froch getting Ko'd as Taylor is not a big hitter and Froch seems to possess an excellent chin.
May major concern is whether he will be busy enough if he is he can dominate the fight.

Even if he doesnt improve on his defence, Taylor looked awful vs smaller men like Ouma and Spinks. Froch I think will cause him alot of pain .
People are talking about Froch improving his defence?? That's a laugh. Taylor is way to good to lose to this guy imo, it would be a huge upset if it happened. I mean sure you have to give Froch a punchers chance and perhaps Taylor's head isn't really in this fight? But I don't see any reason that would be the case after his showing in the Pavlik rematch. Taylor does everything better than Froch, who has an awful fighting style to succeed at the world class level. How is leaving your hands at your hips winging telegraphed uppercuts going to work against a top fighter? I just can't see it. "The Cobra" is no Bernard Hopkins, WRight or Kelly Pavlik, Taylor does everything better than Froch anyways, and given Froch's style I suspect he'll be getting KO'ed. He'll need one hell of a chin just to survive and make it competitive.
you'll see he will be up there. He will make this one hell of a fight for Taylor. Its alrite you all saying his defence will be exposed, but when has it ever been a problem? ive never seen him being truely hurt before or nearly touching the mat. Its his presence and his range that is a great form of defence for Froch. His footwork is underrated too, he knows when hes in touble he can get out of there quick. The range will be a lot harder for Taylor than he expects. If he gets problems off two small lightmiddleweights, I am expecting many problems from a natural 168 fighter who is greatly up for the fight!
The reason he hasn't been in much trouble so far because he has fought absolutely no one remotely world level.Quote:

It's like saying that Taylor struggles with southpaws with a tight guard, so logically he'll struggle more with an orthodox fighter with his hands protecting his groin:confused::confused::confused:
Anyway, not knocking Froch, if this fight comes off we will finally know exactly where he's at. IMO Froch's only chance is a knockout, he simply won't outbox Taylor.

Based on what Brian Magee or Robin (79yo) Reid.
Not knocking your comments but who the hell has Froch fought that suggests he beats Taylor? hid fault or not but his resume is dreadful if Carl fought Spinks or Ouma that would be a step up.
Let alone Hopkins and Pavlik, Froch has yet to face anyone B class Bika is a level above the cans he fought.
Not saying Froch will lose but he is stepping D class to A class without having a B class test (someone ranked coming to win).
Like everyone else said he hasnt fought anyone who is a threat yet so who was gonna hurt him? Tatesyvon was comin off a loss against a 3-0 guy and Froch's people siad he was world class!Quote:

well we will have to see wont we. But I think this fight is going to be a lot harder for taylor than you all think. strength wise especially. I just really cant wait for this. Im not disrespecting taylor but i just think hes not going to win this. I wont be a coward and make excuses if carl looses though, may the best fighter win!
But has this fight even been confirmed yet!?
Froch v Taylor is the better fight.
Prime Roy Jones just wasnt busy enough to out work Calzaghe who would throw 3 punches to 1 over a 2000 Roy Jones. Not saying Joe would win but even then Roy was inactive and Roy never faced a guy who threw as many punches with footwork as good as Joes.
So prime for prime its a great fight, this version of Roy will get worked so hard that after 6rds i doubt he will have the energy to stand.
Whilst I agree that Froch has a great chance of winning how can you say Taylor has lost his speed at supermiddle when he hasn't even fought there yet?:confused:Quote:
