    i don't think the hate for Froch is because he showed courage and guts and comeback power.

    I just think the way he was hyped he is expected to take out Taylor early.

    I like Froch more after this fight. But I'm not gonna proclaim him the next coming of superman. Because he isn't. What he is is a good fighter with great power. But he would lose against the likes of Kessler.

    Hyped by who exactly, himself? The uk media are hardly hyping him not a single station wanted to pay for the rights to have the fight live. The only terrestrial showing is a replay screening on ITV tonight, that's shameful our only current world champ and nobody wanted to televise it, that pretty much shows that there wasn't a great deal of hype in the UK media for him.

    In America they hadn't heard of him and I've been watching the previews on Showtime, they wern't hyping Froch at all it was all about the Resurrection of Jermain Taylor.

    It annoys me when people claim a fighter is really hyped when in fact what you mean is a couple of people on here might have been saying things about him.

    Of course he hypes himself but any decent boxer who wants earn money at the sport does.

    He wasn't much hyped at all imo before this fight, but trust me he will be from now on

    Froch is a good fighter , but not great , he needs to fight Kessler , who i think we all regard as the best in the division.

    How much more of a win is needed these days to prove your the man. In my opinion, Taylor should have totally finished him off when he had the chance, and at the least jumped on froch when he came out for the 4th.

    Taylor to me seemed to be sometimes scared to let punches go. Froch is so easy to hit, or looks so easy to hit, in terms of the serious lack of defense.

    Its all baby talk on here

    I dont know anyone who has been hyping Froch as a World beater. Even his network ITV didn't want a piece of this fight.

    And all this talk of Taylors Stamina... So This fight was fairly even going in and it played out how most of us thought it could, albeit in more dramatic fashion.

    Great fight! Froch has a heart of a True champ. Needs to keep away from Kessler though

    P.S Hope Dawson stays at 175

    Congrats froch. Your job was to win and he did period. I will be honest and say my opinion is that this fight was more bad for Taylor than it was. Good for froch mainly cause of the hype. Froch looked good not great and doubt he put any worry in the minds of any other fighters

    Agree, did what he was paid to do and won. Didn't set the world on fire but Kudos for the way he kep plugging away until he got the result. I'm not a big fan but respect to him. Don't think too many will be quivering in their boots though. No excuses about JT losing the fight, Froch won it from him.

    Pavlik did the better job y far on the undefeated fresh version of Taylor.

    Dont give Froch too many props for fighting a faded middleweight, he will do that himself
