Who Is Protected Now? Jermain Taylor Ducks Carl Froch

[The Dragon]

GreatestIam - Froch isnt Welsh

You earn your way to the top.You dont just beat a semi retired Reid and some nightclub bouncers from Poland then wake up one day claiming to be feared.

Carl Froch is heir to the WBC Throne mate. What more does he have to do to get a ****ing big fight? Which legends did Jermain Taylor beat to get his shot at Bernard Hopkins?

How many times was Taylor on HBO before he got his shot at Bernard Hopkins?

Answer: a lot

It's about money. Froch can't offer enough of it right now.

ok Dirk I dont really follow boxing across the pond because there really isnt a need to so who exactly has Froch fought that is in the top 5 no wait top ten in the division?

Like I said I dont follow the welshies, frenchies or any other ies
please educate me

first off, Froch and Inkin are #1 and #2 fighters in the wbc rankings. 2nd, taylor who fought the likes of hopkins, wright, spinks, pavlik is definitley not ducking Froch. Just cuz he isn't fighting him, doesn't mean he is ducking. Personally, I'd rather see a lacy-taylor fight than a froch-taylor fight.

I don't think taylor will ever duck anybody in his career considering the fighters he has chosen to fight in the past when he didn't need to ever step in the ring with any of them.

He is ducking Froch right now. As we speak.

I find this pretty ironic coming from a Joe Calzaghe fan...So is Joe ducking Pavlik since you're claiming Taylor is ducking Froch?

I pity the American fools in this thread. You have let those slimy Limeys con you into an 8 page thread about Carl Froch. LOL at you fools.

[abadger]

He's not drunk, he's pissed at people insulting his boy Calzaghe. This thread is his response to that anger.

Correct. However, even if Taylor has not been protected up until now, and I give him massive credit for his opposition as champion, the fact remains that given the circumstances this is one of the most clear cut ducks we have seen in a while.

He is choosing: Jeff Lacy who is rubbish and offers nothing besides a fake marquee name and a little extra cash

over

A shot at the WBC title against a guy that he theoretically should beat, in a fight the WBC probably ordered for the express purpose of handing him the belt.

Froch should concentrate on getting the belt, and eventually (hopefully, for him) a big fight will come his way. I'd personally rather see JT fight Froch than Lacy. Lacy has looked like hot garbage in his last two fights, especially the Manfredo **** fest.

He is! He's ranked #1 by the WBC, the WBC ordered him to be in a title shot with Taylor, hopefully he'll get a shot against someone else now.
