Taylor-Winky was a good fight. They are offering that two kill two birds with one stone. HBO is doing this to make up for 2008's poor showing. Taylor-Froch is not the best matchup and not as close as you guys think it will be. Bute and Kessler are better fights for Jermain.

Taylor/Froch would be for the WBC title, featuring two young fighters at or near their prime. It may turn out to be a mismatch but it would be a far more entertaining fight than a Taylor/Wright rematch and far better for boxing.

Originally posted by egreezy View PostNah dude I doubt Froch will get Taylor a better fight then Winky. The first one was a draw and if he kept himself in shape he can still be competitive. Vitali showed that it can be done. Wright is skilled enough to make a good fight after a layoff he never relied on athleticism. And since they already promised him a date they figure why not put the two together to make it easy. And Froch barely beat Pascal.
Not to mention he hasn't even had a tune up fight to show that he still even belongs in the ring.
