Jermain Taylor: "I Want To Fight Jeff Lacy First in Nov"

[Dirt E Gomez]

I suggested this fight a month ago or so.

I'm clearly a genius.

Lmao wbc will make carl froch the champ now and i hope froch doesnt give jermain a title shot either because hes longing things out.
Froch has already waited 1 year for his shot and never got it and now he will have to wait even longer its bs from taylor.

It's funny how Froch's fans are blaming this situation on Taylor, as though it's his fault that the WBC arbitrarily ranked him as the #2 SMW contender despite the fact that he's not even fought at 168. As though he wants his next fight to be for a belt, which he clearly doesn't. As though he hasn't been saying since for a month before this happened that he is planning on fighting Lacy.

Froch may be a victim here, in the most minor sense of the word, but Taylor's not the one abusing him.

there is no pre-calzaghe form. He is who he is. Never was any different

He obviously was, he would have blown Manfredo out of there in less than 5 pre-Calzaghe. The guy he fought right after Calzaghe Tsypko was getting his ass handed to him in the first round before the NC. Reid was getting the crap beaten out of him for 7 rounds something that I doubt Lacy could do today.

JT all i can say is get your butt in that ring with Froch now! Where is your pride. Froch said dont chicken out! Fight Froch and then you can fight Lacy. End of discussion. No excuses.

Froch beats a shot Reid now Froch is the man at 168? Oh, please thats ****ing ridiculous, his ass would get ****d against Bute, Kessler, why doesn't he have the balls to call them out instead of Taylor who was recently ko'd by pavlik and had a war with pavlik in his last fight. Froch=no balls, go fight someone with a name in your own division first before calling out Taylor ****ing *****.

Froch has been calling out everbody. A whole host of names turned down the chance to fight him when Inkin pulled out including Kessler, Miranda and others. Get a grip. What do you have against Froch? He wants to make a name for himself.

Heaven ****in forbid

True but he doesnt have the "right" to do that because he can't generate money outside f a domestic level, he brings nothing to the table for Miranda/Kessler. Inkin pulling out was much more suspect because there both up and coming fighters and Inkin/Frock have alot to gain.

I don't know why some people on this website act as if there carl froch he isn't even fun to watch, he is extremly slow and his defense is mediocre.

Well we'll never know how good he is until someone gives him a chance. Hes done everything possible, beat who he's needed to beat knocking most of them out.

Oh and Taylor is fun to watch? What the **** did he do to get a shot at Hopkins?

No, you're wrong. Taylor-Lacy has been a possibility for a while now, but Taylor's camp have not ruled out a fight with Froch. Here's what is written in the article: “We have options, and we’re going to play our options,” said DiBella. “What if Lacy loses or gets hurt before the purse bid? We’re going to either fight for the WBC title or Jeff Lacy".

You make it sound as if Di Bella has publicly stated that they will not fight Froch, but that's not what he's done. He's still saying that they might take the fight.

No, the reason that he's calling out Taylor is because Taylor is the one that he's been ordered to fight by the WBC.

True but he doesnt have the "right" to do that because he can't generate money outside f a domestic level, he brings nothing to the table for Miranda/Kessler. Inkin pulling out was much more suspect because there both up and coming fighters and Inkin/Frock have alot to gain.

It seems like Froch can't really win. One guy in this thread is saying that Froch is a ***** for not calling out Kessler, and you're saying that he doesn't have the right to.
