Here's what HBO should do. A card next spring, let's say March or April, double main event, Taylor v Froch, Winky v Kessler, the winners can fight each other in September or October and they could even have the losers fight each other in another double main event.
Winky vs Kessler huh? Is that supposed to be a sick joke or what??!!??
It's got nothing to do with who is better, flawed, more deserving etc etc...
...It's down to HBO getting all legal with Winky Wright (who i imagine will never get to fight on HBO again after this aggressive pursuit of his TV date, enforced by Winky's lawyer)
Taylor is almost a mug if he allows HBO to dictate who he should fight too.... but the reality is I sense he is simply wanting to cash in and would relish a payday against an out-of his weight division Winky - rather than a full blown hard bastard like Froch or the slick Kessler, who both **** a lot harder than Pavlik.
Screw HBO
Screw Winky
Screw Taylor
And expecially....
Screw Dibella - he can sit behind his ****ing excuses as to why his guy will not step up and fight Froch til the cows come home, but us, the fans know the score - he is a business head, simply cashing in againt utterly ****e match-ups in fights that nobody will ultimately bother to even buy.
Because he did something only Roy Jones Jr. and Joe Calzaghe have been able to do.
And he did it twice.
And until the boxing public gets irrefutable evidence that he was an overachiever against Hopkins, many fans will continue to watch Taylor, waiting to see if he will ever live up to his promise.
It also doesn't hurt that in spite of his lackluster performances, he's got one of the best CVs of any fighter over the last 3+ years.
