Taylor surprised the life out of me .

[Fenster]

How is it ? Look at that defence of his. He faces somebody that can last a full 12 rounds and is half decent, he will get punished.

His crap defence hasn't stopped him winning.

Taylor is "half decent", no?

He lasted 12 rounds with Hopkins (twice), Pavlik, Winky, Spinks, Ouma, Lacy, Joppy and beat everyone else in under 12 rounds.

If Froch is garbage, yet was able to KO Taylor fair-and-square in his backyard, what does that make Taylor and all the fighters he has beaten?

How did he KO him fair and square ? He got took to school for 11 rounds and was on the brink of defeat before Taylor gassed in the last round. Taylor lost the fight. And yeah Taylor has had stamina issues for a while. Ask anybody on this site. On paper he may have lasted 12 rounds with those guys but you watch the fights and he has looked pretty bad in them bar Hopkins. The Ouma fight was a classic example. Taylor's heart just doesn't belong in the sport.

It was a 12x3 WBC championship fight. Not an 11x3. If you get knocked out at any point during the 12 rounds you have lost fair and square. Simple as.

The entire history of boxing would look TOTALLY different without these rules set in place.

Taylor's stamina "issues" are no different to Froch's bad defence. It's all part of boxing. All top fighters have different strong points. It doesn't make them GARBAGE!!!

I keep hearing all this about Taylor's stamina issues ! what issues he fought his heart out at a good pace with a fighter who made him work and was very very strong !
I didnt see Taylor fall apart in the last round and saw him get gurt by some thudding punches by a fighter that came on likea train , it does happen , what you say about Taylor you take away from Froch !

I give massive respect to Taylor he fought a hell of a fight and against most of the other top 10 supermiddles he'd have won , Froch walked through fire to win

Stop with all this Taylor fell apart nonsense

Taylor got shit stamina. He threw away that fight because he's stupid. I'm not trying to take anything from Froch.

He went the distance in hard fights against Winky Wright ,Hopkins and Pavlik but got bombed out late by an average Britsh fighter I suppose.

He faded and lost. 14 Seconds and Froch loses the title. That's where it stands. As it was the ref stepped in.

i'm not calling Froch garbage but he clearly is a flawed fighter, and yes Taylor's stamina did play a part into the way the fight played out, he was dominating Froch until he started to tire, he was hurt just the same against Pavlik for the same reason, and in the first Hopkins fight (what should have been Taylor's first loss), B-Hop nearly had him out of there in the last rounds, so it's a bit of a pattern
