Also, let's not kid ourselves Taylor was outboxing Froch until that last round! Taylor was up 106-102 on 2 of the cards and unexplicably JT was down 102-106 on another judge's card.
Mikkel Kessler and Arthur Abraham can box AND punch so Froch is going to have trouble with them IF he's able to get past Dirrell who is also a solid boxer.
The only issue I have with AA is that like Bernard Hopkins, he gives away the first half of the fight by playing defense and allowing his opponent to gas himself out. I think if JT plays it smart (which signs point that he won't) he'll win rounds at a slow pace and then saves some energy for the late rounds then he can survive and maybe even win that fight. He has to be better on defense and use the jab better and MOVE FFS, he stands still too much these days.
