    yeah, but I'd put money on Froch knocking Lacy out to be fair.

      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.
      A fight with Froch will be Taylors last. I know why Taylor wants Lacy. Because he has seen a tape a nd thought **** That!!!!!

      For the record Froch has already faught in the USA.

          This is a good fight for Froch to prove if he really is the real deal or just another protected European fighter.

              I understand it's about the green, but this is what's wrong with the sport right now. If a guy's earned his shot with a ranking, he's earned his shot with a ranking.

                All that matters first is Froch to get his hands on the belt. Then they will come to him. he wont have to chase anyone.

                    Fighting Lacy would be the easier option for Jermain Taylor. Lacy is well-known in the States and Taylor knows he has more than enough in the tank to see him off, probably by KO.

                    Froch is a bit of an enigma. Personally I think Froch would be the more challenging fight and he'd cause Taylor some problems before being beaten late on.

                      I just dont want to hear How "Froch" hasnt tested himself, He has seek fights that would test him only for his well-known opponents to pull out.

                      I hope taylor/lacy falls through so they can make the froch fight but i doubt it.
