      I'd be damn surpriced if Pavliks next fight is a new big challenge above the mw division.

        Did you pay attention to his user name. It is his favourite fighter.

          If both fighters turned up this would be a war...its unlikely however and its either Froch or Taylor for Kess...I would pay my $49.95 for either of these but would preffer Taylor of course.
          No. I think Pavlik will stay a while at 160 before trying the higher weight once more. A shame for Kessler IMO as Pavlik's style is much better suited for Kessler than Taylor's.

          I have always favored Taylor in a Taylor-Kessler match-up and my opinion hasn't changed since the Lacy fight. Taylor looked good at times and I'd expect him to be significantly better next time he fights.

            So first Taylor doesnt want a piece of Froch. Now HBO dont want it.

            I wonder if people will remember this in the years to come.

            More likely Froch will be blamed and called a protected fighter. Pityful.

              I heard Taylor wanted to fight Froch. Isn't HBO's reluctance to take the fight the only reason they are not fighting?

                Taylor didnt want the fight when it was first offered to him. Plus if HBO arent giving you the fights you want, then tell them to **** off? If Taylor really wants to fight the best, he'll choose Kessler or tell HBO to piss off and fight Froch on another station.

                Either way, its not Froch's fault. But just watch how it plays out if these two never end up fighting. Froch will be the one accused of avoiding, I can almost gurantee it.

                  Taylors team came out openly and said they wanted the fight but Dirk is very insecure about the whole Brit vs American thing.
