    If by "avoid" you mean Taylor might go after another opponent who can sell more than 7000 tickets, in his hometown no less, then yes, he might "avoid" Froch.

    Meanwhile Hennessy wants to make Froch the headliner at MSG... when he can't sell out the arena in his hometown... hahaha.

        Proof?

        And just because Hennessy says it, doesn't make it true.

        Good luck finding a source, since the details of the taylor/lacy purse haven't made it public yet!

          From what i've seen lately of Taylor, I don't think he has the power to KO Froch. He'd easily beat him in 12 rounds nonetheless.

            Taylor couldn't hurt the girly Cory Spinks, so there's not much chance of even making Froch blink.

            Froch to send Taylor to the canvas, and keep him there, around 9th round.

              Froch moves like a robot. Frochs hands are sooooo slow its not even funny. His defense is EXTREMELY porous as he deliberately carries his hands low rather than cover up or even try to move his head. Froch though has 2 great assets his chin and his punch. But that wont be good enough when he takes on the best super middles in his division. Bute Kessler and Taylor would all outbox him with ease. The most entertaining fight at 168 that can be made though would be Froch Andrade. Two anvils for chins and both can punch with authority

                  Girly Cory Spinks has 10 times the defense and slickness of Carl Froch. Not landing flush and not knocking someone out usually go hand in hand.

                  Landing flush wouldn't be a problem on Carl. Does Taylor KO him? Probably not, but if Carl underestimates his power the way you are (or the way Kelly did), it will sneak up on him in a bad way.

                    Unless you can provide a link to something other than the article where Carl's promoter claims he offered Taylor more than he got for the Lacy fight (which is, as I said, an unknown amount that Hennessy himself probably doesn't even know), then sorry, no dice.

                    Either way, HBO wasn't biting at Froch, so for Taylor it wasn't going to happen.

                      Unfortunately, its one of those double standards yanks employ. Claiming Taylor should not fight Froch because he is a no-name etc, yet want Joe, for example, to fight a no name like Dawson who isn't **** over here.

                      Personally, Carl would kick **** outta Taylor, but would get his ass handed to him by Joe.
