I think Taylor might make Froch look silly for a few rounds and then Carls natural strength will take over.

I also have a little feeling that I dont want to get excited about, that Froch doesnt fight at a fast pace or pressures and that is what Taylor struggles with, Taylor worked over Hopkins because of his slow pace and in Taylors favour he does have decent power, he hurt Hopkins and lacy (but who doesnt nowadays) and had Pavlik nearly out but like I said I dont want to get too excited because the form book says that Froch will stop him

Even though Froch hasnt done anything at world level to earn his title I think Taylor gets more credit for a win for picking himself up, dusting himself off and beating a world champion in a higher weight.

Which brings me to the fact that the WBC is the pass the parcel of super middle titles that has had about 18 champs since 91 and in complete contrast you have the WBO which has had only 3 world champs in the period!!
Good thing for Taylor, Fraud ain't one of the big boys
