Fair Play To Froch

[RozzySean]

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?

I gotta think Froch will spark Green. Green can punch, but we know he can be hurt. At least Froch was never knocked down but subpar competition like Green was by Peter Manfredo victim Donny McCrary.

The stoppage was good. It cost me a sig bet, but it is what it is. It was a good stoppage. Jermaine was getting hit by everything and he wasn't throwing back. If it wasn't stopped, Froch was going to put him on his seat in those 14 seconds and he would have been hurt.

Kessler and Dirrell beat Froch in a walk. I think Andrade would give him all kinds of problems and I'd actually favor Andrade in a fight. Froch won his fight because wanted it more and Taylor quit trying to hurt him, either because he was afraid or tired. I'd make Bute a slight favorite, but I give Froch a decent chance.

Against anybody else at 168, I'd make Froch a favorite. He's not the second coming like some of the fanboys think, but I'll admit he belongs with the big boys and he's earned his shot to fight any of them.

As for Taylor. it's been a good run, but it's done. If you can't beat this flawed (though talented) fighter, you are now officially a gatekeeper. Retire or you're back on FnF. Please don't try to redeem yourself by being the test horse for Dirrell. He'll murder you. You have a hot wife. Go home to Arkansas and kick back.

Why do people keep saying that Taylor 'gave away' the win?

It's not like he decided to stop trying or thought it would be a great idea to get knocked out.

He lost because Froch literally beat eeverything he had out of him. He gave 110% there was nothing more Taylor could have done. He simply couldn't last the distance with Carl tonight, no shame in that and he didn't quit or give up.

It was a brilliant win by Carl Froch, Taylor couldn't have done any more, he gave everything he had which is why he couldn't stand up at the end.
