    The fact that Taylor was HBO's golden boy and judges now days seem to think that elbows are scoring areas assuming you throw a combo is what keeps fucking things for Winky
    To be fair Winky was a huge 154 pounder and at that point probably more of a middleweight but it wasn't his size that bullied Taylor around it was his jab.

    Look at Taylor's last fight how beautifully he was able to counterpunch for most of that fight and how he was getting in punches over Lacy's guard so easily. He was more fluid then he's ever been and would without a doubt exploit Froch's lack of defense easily.

    The problem for him is he going to get to comfortable and get hit with a dumb shot like he did against Lacy in round 5 I think it was. That's the only way Froch would win is if his power was just to much Taylor and usually I don't break fights down that way but that's just how it is.

    I think Taylor wins comfortable he has absolutely no reason to be scared of Froch and anyone who thinks he is scared of Froch is a bit off their rocker imo. For some reason Taylor generates this hate when there is no reason he should. He's a good fighter who is in mostly good fights the only fights of his you can say were terrible were the fights with Hopkins which was Hopkins, and then the Spinks fight which was Spinks' doing.

    Other then that his fights before he was champ and then with Winky, Pavlik have all been really good and even the Ouma and Lacy fights weren't bad.

    And there is no problem with boxers being in it for the money, the sport doesn't think about the fighters when they are in need of money returning the favor is how people fight for years after they should.

    Taylor days of fighting B level fighters are over. They ended 4 years ago. HBO should be given credit for refusing to show this disgraceful mismatch. Instead there being bad mouthed. Unbelievable. Taylor is looking for big fights. Competitive fights. Fraud ain't it. He's a paper champion. What champion did he beat for the title? Oh that's right. He didn't. The title was vacant. All he had to do was go life and death with fringe prospect Pascal to get it. Yeah stuff of legends there.

    I see Froch beating Taylor if they meet, never really thought that much abt taylor, thought he was lucky to get 2 verdicts over Hopkins personally
