One of the best fights I've ever seen.

Both men were magnificent & should be proud of their respective efforts.

The fight reminded me of my favourite fight of all-time (Saad-Muhammad -v- Lopez 2): a great see-saw fight between 2 game & willing fighters, both willing to take a gamble in order to succeed.

Like that fight, I also think it won't get the acclaim it deserves because it wasn't a 'big' fight between 2 'names' as such.

I'm glad I saw it live & I can't wait to see it on telly, as I personally think it was closer than the scorecards suggested.

It was an exceptional fight - and on that bodes well for the future of televised boxing in this country. Indeed, you suspct that Fwank is regretting his journey back to Sky about now. The fight I'd most like to see? Right now, I'd go for Pascal II!

If Taylor forfeits the mandatory shot, I'll bet Pascal will be high up in the rankings. A rematch would be very welcome, as the first was a great fight, though there was only one winner.

When is Karo Murat v Marcus Johnson WBC eliminator? Want to see this fight, find out what Froch is up against.

Showtime fighter Andre Dirrell can't be far off from a title shot. Would love to see Pascal-Dirrell elim (if Taylor avoids the WBC title).

If Froch can tighten up his defence a bit, I'd like to see him go for unifications in 2010.

Absolutely, and they are natural competitors who show something in a crisis. They are better sportsmen than Khan and Maccarinelli, for sure.
