      You think American genes are superior to the rest of the world's genes? That sounds like racism.

        this guy barely has a punchers chance against taylor.
        froch is second tier.
        little more than a safe tuneup for taylor.
        Taylor's camp clearly don't agree with you - if they did Taylor would have fought Froch for the WBC belt instead of ducking him to take a meaningless fight against the has-been Lacy.

          Anyone who watched the fight saturday knows that Froch is not an easy fight for Taylor. Yes, he's a little plodding, but he worked well when he sat back and relied on his jab more. That was something that impressed me and I did'nt even know he could do. If they both bring their best, Taylor may go to sleep.

          ............Just saying. It's likely considering Froch is a big SMW and Taylor has been hurt and put out by MW Pavlik, who is like Froch in allot of respects.

          If Froch stiffens up the defense, he can be a unified champ.

            Froch Vs Taylor would be a very interesting fight. Was very impressed with Froch saturday night and the fact that he kept on, I know he left himself vunerable to some big right hands but then his chin was able to take them all on without a problem. I think his work rate will be too much for Taylor if this goes ahead

              You're right about one thing - he hasn't looked the same since getting KO'd by Pavlik. He's looked better. He realized his vulnerabilities and has been much smarter since that fight.

              I agree that it may not be as easy as a lot of people are saying, but unless Froch changes his game for the Taylor fight, I still think Taylor wins at least 8 rounds to take a decision. Is Froch capable of improving? Keeping your hands up doesn't seem like a difficult thing to learn, so probably... but then again, he's 31 and hasn't shown us that he can do it yet, so I've got my doubts.

              I disagree though that Froch is a lot like Pavlik... Pavlik never gets away from the fundamental one-two style and throws 70+ punches per round while keeping his hands in front of his chin... while there is little that is fundamental about Froch, who finally showed a decent jab in the 2nd half of the Froch fight, but still left himself wide open and his output is nowhere near what Kelly's is. The main similarity I see between them is white power. In that they are both white. And have power.

                  Froch carries his left too low.......I see JT stoppin' him with a bunch of big right hands early to mid rounds.

                    JT better take this fight because he'd beat Froch pretty easily.

                      If this fight happens Taylor will be the new WBC super middleweight champ.
