froch really doesent have an iron chin.a good one,yes.but being knocked down in that manor by taylor?you are having a laugh

In terms of skill, O'Donnell by a mile, but Brook seems to have good stamina (and we might find out a bit more about this against the tough Jennings) and a hell of a whack. So he'd have to keep out of danger all night. I sort of get the feeling that when Brook does start landing, O'Donnell will be in trouble. That said I still think O'Donnell is the biggest threat to Brooks British title.

"Brook's got good stamina"

has he seen an 8th round yet even??

They look different levels to me.

Nah, O'Donell is just that much taller stu.

Brook works harder in 6 rounds that some boxers do over 10, and he's shown no ill affects, hence putting "seems to" which you conveniently removed in your quote !

you may well be right mate. I've only really seen him in full versus Stuart Elwell and versus Barrie Jones, I don't remember the Barrie fight being fought at a rip-roaring pace either....I'll bear your point in mind when I watch his next fight

Now Michael Jennings is meant to be one of the fittest boxers there is, so we should know a lot more about Kell after that fight. Personally I give Jennings a good chance because he's a smart lad.

I'd like O'Donnell for an upset in this one. Brook looks a puncher alright, but his chin could be suspect, as the big punchers don't usualy hold a shot as well as they dish it out. Just a guess...
If he has a more than good chin, then he's on his way to the top, but I'm not sold on him just yet.

Despite John O'D getting flattened in Vegas, his chin looked ok against Watson, and I think he's a tough kid who could well give Brook a big shock.

you do realise he only went down because he didnt see it coming!! froch took alot bigger punchers against pascal and took them easily..so i think your the one thts aving a laugh mate..have you ever seen froch's leg's go?? well then..that's like saying clinton woods hasnt got an iron chin

Taylor has good power and is very fast. It was a wicked shot, and Froch barely blinked.

Look at what happened when Taylor caught Pavlik with a good shot. Pavlik was on very wobbly legs, and he has a good chin.

I'd go as far as saying the main attribute he has which has secured his position is one of the best chin's in world boxing. He takes a few too many - some very, very hard ones - and is barely rattled. If it wasn't awesome, he'd have been beaten by now.
