TOP 3 DUCKERS in BOXING

[RMAcero]

Erdei and....Chris John. Holy crap, Chris John needs to fight Linares or Larios or someone. He's been fighting Indonesian and Thai bums for years. The guy needs to step it up. His best win is a questionable hometown decision over JMM.

Abadger you do realise Taylor is coming off of two loses one via knockout and a tune up fight with Lacy would give him the confidence he needs for the bout with a dangerous fighter like Froch.Taylor has taken bigger risks in his career than fighting Carl Froch for a vacant Supermiddleweight belt.Like rematching Pavlik after being knocked out while being advised by your promoter not to.Taylor has been tested on the elite level and has fought better fighters than Carl but know one knows how good Froch is,he could prove to be too much for Taylor.This fight will be most likely made after the Lacy bout and if Froch beats Pascal.Just wait a bit before you say Taylor is ducking a relative nobody in Froch.

Of course, but at the end of the day those are just excuses, made by the Taylor camp, for the benefit of Jermain Taylor. If Taylor wants a tune up, thats fine, but he chooses it at the expense of a live offer on the table. In my opinion choosing an easy fight over a slightly tougher one for a title is a duck, simple as that. I don't have to make excuses for Taylor.

Also, I actually think Froch is a big threat to Taylor, as you say, it is only on paper he is a nobody.

[abadger]

Maybe he wants a tune up after two losses, one of which was devastating. You are separating yourself from the pack for "Dumbest Limey" on this site.

Yes, yes, you're right, I am.

Taking a tune-up fight that is an eliminator for the fight you are accusing him of ducking IS NOT DUCKING.

Go back over the series of events. Initially the WBC ordered Taylor to fight Froch for the vacant belt or lose his ranking entirely. When Taylor's camp said they were fighting Lacy instead (which was in negotiations before the WBC stepped in), not only did the WBC not remove Taylor from their rankings, they agreed to make Taylor/Lacy a title eliminator. So, the WBC went back on their initial threat and worked with team Taylor... why do you think they did that? Probably because Taylor is the most bankable fighter in their rankings outside of Calzaghe, and because DiBella ****ing told them to because they intend to have Taylor fight for the title in the near future.

Also, the offer on the table ******. Taylor made 3 million for his last fight, and was offered $1.25 million to fight a no-name in Froch, when he could take a fight he's been wanting for years in Jeff Lacy, use it as a tune-up no less, and make more money than he could fighting for a title overseas. ****ing HBO said they weren't even interested in the fight. Taylor is an HBO fighter. Do the math.

Call it what you want, but Taylor's camp did not DUCK Froch, and they're not "making excuses." They're doing business, and right now Froch is not a hot commodity, which is HIS ****ing problem.

The longer it takes to make this fight, the bigger it will be anyways, so I don't see what you're getting worked up about with all this "Taylor ducked Froch" BS.

froch vs pascal! what a worthy "title" fight

Really telling of what a vacant belt's worth, I suppose...

[Queen_Leia]

what are your top 3 boxers that DUCK?

[larryx]

You do realize that Taylor-Lacy is a WBC Eliminator. So after Taylor beats Lacy, he'll fight Froch if he gets past his opponent. Ducking is not fighting someone at all you ****** ****ing limey.

why fight an eliminator when you can fight for a belt???your reasoning makes no sense

Because Taylor needs a tune-up, and the other contender for the paper belt is so pathetically unknown that Taylor can get more money for fighting a tune-up against an ex-champ.
