Taylor - Lacy or Froch?

[MANGLER]

I've been sayin all along Jermain should pursue the Froch fight for the WBC 168 lb strap instead of the Lacy fight. After tonight, I'm even more convinced. I ain't sure the Lacy fight would even draw any $ now. If he passed up the title shot and beat Jeff, even by a big KO, would it even mean anything at this point? Should he go for the easy $ or the belt?

Lacy is no longer an easy $ He should go for the belt

I would prefer to see Froch-Taylor, but I can understand why others disagree.

Lacy: Offers more money, more likely to interest US TV companies, probably an easier fight, a better name/more achievements in his career.

Froch: Offers a shot at WBC title.

[Froch You]

He should fight Froch.

lacy so that lacy gets ktfo. then jt can face froch. he will probably lose to froch...

see, if he fights froch first and loses to froch, he may lose his confidence again and be less likely to kill lacy, so get it out of the way now before i have to see the over-muscled freak on my tv screen again! quick! quick! quick!

Lacy has NOTHING left to offer the fight game any more imo, Froch should deffo get the shot no questions asked.

This is a simple one. A Lacy fight means absolutely nothing, it is just a fake marquee name on Taylor's resume.

A fight with Froch gives him the chance to become WBC champion, and on paper he couldn't really ask for easier opposition ina title fight.
