taylor still had ambition and belief when he fought froch so it doesnt count
either way, my point was mainly that styles make fights. Dirrell showed how to beat Abraham - workrate and defense. keep hooking and punching his gloves and make him miss. froch keeps his hands low and his work rate was a little suspect in the Kessler fight. i thought the Kessler fight was a winnable fight for Froch, like it wasn't about Kessler winning, as much as it was about Froch losing.
