Fair Play To Froch

[JT Rock]

I cant believe their questioning the stoppage.... He has 0 business calling out Calzaghe or Kessler

The scoring has to be a heartbreak for Taylor 14 seconds away

I give him a great chance against Allan Green, Green is kinda chinny, but has great power and technical prowess

Whats next for Taylor?

[paddy448]

yeah taylor gave the fight away but take nothing away from carl froch, he did what he had to do

[rjj tszyu]

Exactly. Taylor had Pavlik in an even better position than he had Froch in their first fight but because he couldn't finish it came back to haunt him as it did last night. But you can't take anything away from Froch and Pavlik they both did what was needed and Pavlik got in Taylor's head as I think Froch may have done and it showed in the rematch where Taylor seemed frightened to take too many chances.

So judging by that I think I would favour Froch in a rematch, but I really want to see Froch Vs Kessler. Two solid chins and big hitters who like to move forward. Make's for a great matchup for me!

[Mr140]

Bilbo dont think a match between Pavlik and Froch would be a good fight.

[Mr140]

Not to mention that they both beat Taylor so that has some back ground.

[Kev]

Bilbo dont think a match between Pavlik and Froch would be a good fight.

I don't understand mate, do you mean you don't think Froch vs Pavlik would be a good fight or are you asking me if I don't think it would be a good fight?

I think it's a great fight if it happened. I most want him to fight Lucian Bute though in Canada with Andrade fighting Alan Green on the undercard just so I can have a sig bet with CFH

Its a shame Carl has to call for Calzaghe, hes retired! Jim Grey asked him about Kessler and Carl replies with Calzaghe

He certainly knows how to make noise without getting trouble.

When he watched himself get knocked down, first he "slipped" then he was fine and knew where he was, yeah, on his ass

I just watched it properly and against a Calzaghe or Kessler who arent gunshy and hesitant like Taylor, all those openings are possible knockdowns against Carl

[GuyIncognito76]

I'd like to see a rematch, but only because Taylor would have to get on a plane next time (he should have got on a plane this time too mind). It's about time the Americans realised they're not at the centre of the boxing universe.

Yes, fair play to Froch, he got Taylor out of there. And going by the judges scorecards he needed to as well. The fight got very exciting at the end. Froch has proven that he is able to handle himself at the world level IMO. Taylor is still a very handy fighter, and a challenge for most fighters at SMW.

I saw a lot of flaws in Froch. His workrate is sometimes lacking and his defence isn't up to much. I'm annoyed that he's gone and called out Calzaghe again, I wouldn't mind seeing Joe come back one last time and box his head off for 12. But the other side of me says screw that, and let Calzaghe enjoy his retirement. If Froch wants a real challenge then he should face Kessler IMO. Kessler won't be getting stopped and doesn't have the stamina issues Taylor has.

And come to think of it Taylor probably deserves a rematch too considering he was up on 2 of the scorecards by a fair margin.

i give full credit to Froch, he made the most of his opportunity, but honestly this fight is a perfect example of a fighter giving away a clear win (Taylor) more than the other stealing the win (Froch), IMO Froch is the weakest of the champions at 168

seriously u think bute is worse than froch

seeing how the opposite happened against Bute and he was actually dominating the massive 168 lb fighter in Andrade until he got ko'd but was spared the loss lol, yea i do, even though not by much, Librado Andrade beats both

If Taylor wants a rematch I think Froch should grant it immediately. It has echoes of the first Pavlik fight, except in this case Froch found it harder to come on strong down the stretch. Totally agree that Froch still has a lot to prove. Beating Taylor was a good start, but totally agree that there are still a lot of question marks about him.

thing is Taylor's jab looked the best it has in a long time, but again from 9 on he abandoned it, he has one of the best jabs in the game and IMO could of won the fight on that shot alone, but for god knows what reason, he abandoned it, another thing, Taylor's stamina is shit, don't know if its due to lack of roadwork or what, but if he can't go the full 12 he shouldn't be fighting for a title
