Team Jermain Taylor Responds To Carl Froch's Challenge

[dstew]

And even though I think DiBella may be right about Lacy being the bigger TV draw and the more profitable fight... it would be smart to consider that if Taylor were to fight Froch instead, and wins, he would have a belt. Having a title could probably command more money for his NEXT fight.

So while Lacy may be worth more money to HBO now... the Froch fight w/belt might be the better long-term investment IF he wins.

It says if theres no agreement,then the purse bid will be held on 25th july at the wbc executives offices,looking forward to see what happens.

Is everyone who practices boxing around the world expected to make their pro debuts in America?

No but they are going to have to earn their place in line if they want to make the transition successfully. Haye knew this, why else would he confront Wlad like he did, in front of the cameras? He understood that he needed to do more than show up and expect a fight.

Jermain Taylor after two back to back losses doesn't need to be matched to tough right now. It's obvious Carl Froch is a bigger threat than Lacy. Lacy has been M.I.A. for a long time now and definitely would be rusty against J.T.

A victory over Lacy would help to boost the confidence of J.T. and get him back in the hunt of the middleweight and super middleweight titles. While I would rather see a fight with Carl Froch, a fight with Lacy is better for J.T. at this stage of his career.

**** aint going to happen Froch needs another ****ing promoter.

**** can't get any fights.

He'll pick up a WBC strap fighting a complete ****house. Not his fault.

Froch should knockout Codrington or Bika I guess.

i'd rather see him fight froch

[adietheforestfa]

forget froch. we should keep our money here. froch is and continues to duck winky wright. i know wrights style is ****ed up but froch ducked wright,mirando,and jadon codrington. again who the froch is froch.

You made that up you knobber, what a load of site.

codrington. i cant stop laughing

[badnewsbrown]

im not even sure if froch is better than lacy tbh. both are flawed fighters... they should fight each other.

[adietheforestfa]

Froch can sell upto 6-8000 tickets fighting absolute nobodies, although this is in our hometown. I'm sure if Taylor was to come to England, they could easily do 25,000+.

PPV however i'm not so sure about. I think Hatton and Calzaghe are the only two British boxers who can do PPV with success.

The City Ground, or accross the road at Trent Bridge.
