Who Is Protected Now? Jermain Taylor Ducks Carl Froch

[Dirk Diggler UK]

With fights on his resume like Hopkins, Wright, Pavlik how can Taylor duck any one. Lacy is a better fight for him than FROCH. Froch is another european fighter that has die hard fans make up for his lack of oppositions.

Who has Lacy beaten?

The difference is that Lacy is struggling to razor thin decisions against nobodies while Carl is knocking them out.

The facts:

The WBC ordered Carl Froch and Jermain Taylor, its #1 and #2 SMWS to face off for the WBC title imposing an August #1 deadline for purse bids.

The Froch Camp offered Taylor 1.25 millon dollars for the fight.

The Taylor camp have turned it down and prefer to face Jeff Lacy with no belt at stake.

My thoughts:

I fully understand that Jermain Taylor has had some nasty losses recently and needs to get back on his feet. My question? Why on earth can't the supposedly 'elite' Taylor, who has in the past beaten Bernard Hopkins, do this against Carl Froch, who in the past has beaten nobody.

I thought 'true champions fought the best', in this case it appears that Taylor is not even prepared to try to be a champion, and will not even fight the distinctly average.

Instead he is going to stay at home and take a payday by taking on Jeff Lacy, thats right, a US domestic fighter he should beat easily.

This my friends is what we call 'being protected'.

Thoughts?

WOW! Taylor is ducking Froch!

WOW! Taylor is ducking Froch!

Amazing Taylor would need to duck someone who isn't on the level of Hopkins or Wright. Taylor probably wanted more money, but since Froch has talked so much ****, Taylor wants to put him down.

Exactly...Most of these so-called boxing fans dont understand the politics of boxing...I mean come on, Taylor was just defeated by Pavlik twice...I dont blame him for taking the easy money fight with Lacy...He gained his confidence back and plus it was a nice payday...He was going to fight Froch eventually but you've got *******s that always says such and such ducked such and such because the fight didnt happen right away.

How did Taylor need to grow a set of balls when he has been fighting the best fighters in the sport since middleweight?
