The ultimate goal of boxing is to knock out your opponent, the scoring is only for humane reasons to prevent boxers fighting to the death. Have a look at Pavlik at the end of the Hopkins fight and look at Taylor at the end of the Froch fight and ask yourself again who got destroyed

Not at all. If you think Froch victory over Taylor was more emphatic than Hopkins over Pavlik then you don't know boxing, my friend. If they fought again Taylor would still most likely be made favourite to beat Froch. Taylor just ran out of gas, Froch didn't outbox Taylor, out speed him, show brilliant combos or make Taylor looks foolish and amateurish...but that's what Hopkins did to Pavlik.
All Froch brings to the table is a good chin, determination and a lot of heart, not only would Cory Spinks beat him, but I think if Mayorga bulked up he would beat him, I think if Tito Trindad came back he would beat him. I thought it was a terrible performance and he got lucky.
