Taylor surprised the life out of me .

[HattonTheHammer]

Taylor was EASILY outboxing Froch, Froch is one tough son of a bitch and due to his toughness and determination stayed in the fight and managed to comeback and take Taylor out, that said, it's obvious though that Taylor isn't the most dedicated fighter by his lack of conditioning, i think Froch is being exagerated a bit, by being called the man at 168, i'd say he's in the top 5 but to say he's better than Kessler is a bit ridiculous at this point, IMO if Taylor really is dedicated he should be given a well deserved rematch, if Froch wins again well he should go on to take on Bute (i think it's the closest fight for Froch), or actually more so the winner of the Bute/Andrade rematch, seeing how Andrade should get his rematch as well, Froch Vs Andrade would be a great fight honestly

No he wasnt

He was throwing the heavier punches and looked more likely to get the KO up until 11 but he certainly wasnt outboxing froch, that suggests he completely dominated the tactical exchanges and he soooo didnt!!

when Taylor used his jab, Froch had no answer for it

Taylor is one of my favorite fighters but I have to call him out on this loss.

Yes he fought great (so I've heard) and showed true heart (so I've heard). But doesn't anyone remember the rumors about him partying while in camp? JT has to realize that his stamina is for shit, he faded vs Hopkins TWICE, he faded vs Winky Wright and Pavlik and now he fades vs Carl Froch!!!!

JT had Froch down, he had all the points he needed and he couldn't even hang on for 14 seconds.....that is a fucking shame!!!

Taylor has to realize that he needs to be in better condition and if he can't fix it he has to pace himself to have extra energy later on to work out of those championship rounds.

I had very high hopes for him early in his career and he didn't disappoint at middleweight but I thought he could be a champ at 168 and 175 for a long time and right now being a CHAMP at those weights is out of his reach and it's because he either didn't train or didn't plan well enough to win.


Props to Froch though, he's a tough cookie. Joe Calzaghe would still whip his ass but Carl definently won over a lot of fans even if he does have a big mouth (unlike all the other British fighters )

[El Kabong]

If Jermain Taylor played his cards right HE could have been the guy to beat Calzaghe...I think JT's jab and the fact he fights to the level of his opponent would have made him more difficult than anyone else Calzaghe fought/could have fought.

It is a damn shame...JT is a good fighter but he needs to train or plan his fights better

....taylor would be great if he went back to fighting 6 rounders. Sergio mora should have took his chances and tried to quirk taylor to death.
