Carl Froch Denies Rib Injury, Blasts Team Jermain Taylor

[Boxingwizard]

Now that Wright is fighting Williams, this fight needs to happen.

Taylor should fight Froch, Kessler should fight Bute, and then the winners should fight each other. If HBO really wanted the best fights, as they claim they do, that's what they would be pushing for.

I agree that this is the most logical thing to do 100%, would win favour with the fans and would assure a dominant succsesor to Calzaghe at super middle weight.

No,I said Pascals chin not Froch. Jermain has been hit with flush Hopkins right hands and with Pavlik's best punches. He wasn't knocked out clean by either. It was an accumulation of punches while Taylor was trapped in the corner that caused the stoppage. In the second fight with Kelly he was also hit with clean hard punches and they did not have the same effect. The punch that stunned Taylor in the first bout was perfectly placed on his chin and that didn't even knock him down. Jermain has an underrated chin because of his only knockout loss. Froch's power is overrated by many. Who has he proved his KO power on?

Yeah, Taylor and Froch have probably both got very good chins. Taylor has more skill, but Froch fights with real intensity and all-out agression. Froch also has a good jab when he remembers to use it. If Froch fights Taylor like he fought the first half of the Pascal fight, he'll lose; but if he uses his jab properly I think it's a pick-em fight.

I agree the fight would be 50/50 If anyone expects a blow out for either side they are wrong.

Taylor isn't fighting Pascal - jack the cripuh admitted that article was bull****.

Then I guess Tunney has to think up another reason.

taylor needs to fight ye frochs or kesslers he took a woopin off pavlik if hes a top fighter he needs to challenge the best pavlik v froch wud be war but fink kessler wud beat all challengers hes like ivan drago dat man cant see him loseing again in his career then it will show how good calzaghe is froch tho looks strong never lost a amuter fight or pro never even been down no wonder ppl are ducking him

If Taylor and Froch fight im putting a couple a hundred on Taylor...Froch has no defence and looked crap against Pascal...this will be a whitewash for Taylor and maybe even a KO...Froch is a fringe contender at best similar to Edison Miranda...he talks **** but cant beat anybody good.
Only chance Froch has is if he turns up and Taylor doesint and the fights in Nottingham or London and we know that wont happen unless Taylor's gettin paid like a muthafaaka!!!
I cant workout why Kessler isint licking his lips at the thought of knocking out this guy and it would be a big step up for him as opposed to the last two bums but a stepping stone all the same...Froch will be hospitalised if he fights Kessler.

Is Froch injured or not? I guess we wont know unless he signs to fight in March or April.

Anyway that trashtalking is hilarious!

He had a rib injury before the Pascal fight, but he says it's almost healed now and that it will be completely healed in plenty of time for the March fight.

Taylor beats Froch. I wanna this fight.
