IMO losing 8 rounds straight, and yes Froch lost 8 rnds straight, plus an extra point for the knockdown by Taylor in the 3rd, and there is no way possible Froch would have won or even gotten a draw, IMO he was getting a boxing lesson until Taylor tired, and was able to capatalize on it, and i applaud him for it, but he's hardly unbeatable from 168 on up
Bernard Hopkins
Chad Dawson
Glen Johnson
Roy Jones Jr

Hugo Hernan Garay
Jean Pascal
Juergen Braehmer
Pascal isn't that good. On boxrec (who's rankings are never wrong) he is number 9.
I'd have him about 4 or 5. Why is boxrec so shit at rankings?
I included links incase you need to fing out who soame of the people are.
No way did Froch loose the first 8 rounds, when i watched it live on line i thought Froch was totally outboxed, but when i re watched it on TV, it was a very very close fight if Taylor would of survived that last round I think I had it Taylor by 1 point but thats with a 10-8 last round not 10-7 so like I say very close fight.
The Pascal win is looking very good now.

I've only seen the fight once, but i thought it was something like 7 rounds to 1 to Jermain Taylor in the first 8 rounds. With Carl Froch winning the last 3 rounds or so.
Even if it had gone to the scorecards it would of been reasonably close, because Jermain Taylor would of visited the canvas a 2nd time before he made the final bell. And that would of been a 3 point round, added to the 4 other rounds Carl Froch won.

seen the fight only once that being the actual night of the fight, but Taylor was well ahead going into the last round, although the tide was turning due to Taylor's stamina, i remember that if Taylor would have made it out of the final round he would have won by about 2 points, but Taylor CLEARLY won the early rounds and quite easily at that, Froch is no ring technician
Watched this fight on a replay this mornin. Really quite enjoyed it and quite like Pascal too. Just wish he had a bit more power. Just seems to fall short of the knockout stuff...... He would be very very good if he had that.
