    Carl Froch?

    Jermaine has the pedigree to beat him...Who has Froch fought, I haven't even hard of him until last year and so I went and watched as much fights as I could on you tube....Taylor has only lost to 1 man...( I think Taylor won the rematch clearly) so it about the money (as it should be) plus he has a HBO contract...if Lacy loses, he'll fight Froch, he has until 8/1

      Lacy is a bum.

          I dont understand why the WBC extended the time to make Froch vs. Taylor happen. Why dont they force Taylor and DiBella to make a decision whether they fight Froch or wait for the Lacy fight? The sooner the good fights happen, the better it is. And its also delaying the WBO situation as Pascal apparently would prefer to fight Froch for the WBC title.

          I do hope though that we will see a good Lacy again who also might be able to show his power in a Taylor fight.

            This isn't fair to Froch. By extending the deadline, the WBC is catering to the whims of Dibella. They are lucky to have the opportunity to be fighting for a title, since Taylor has lost two in a row and has no wins at 168.

              Co-sign. I think Taylor would beat Froch anyway, but he's gettin a gift wrapped opportunity. He should take advantage of that and worry about Lacy later.

                I agree entirely, its another example of the promotors having too much power in the sport.

                  Carl Froch is in danger of having the most mundane career ever, and it's not really his fault.

                    Taylor can beat Froch, but he needs to man up and sign this.

                    If he was willing to rematch Pavlik after getting knocked out, there's no reason he shouldn't take a risk now.

                      You should have typed "I can't score fights" instead of the bolded.
