Carl Froch Denies Rib Injury, Blasts Team Jermain Taylor

[Dave Rado]

If you're going to buy everything that comes out of Carl Froch's mouth, then you obviously believe that Calzaghe and Kessler are ducking him as well? And that Jean Pascal is a world class fighter?

LOL - yes he talks a lot of bull**** but he's just trying to make sure the fight happens, so you can't blame him in this case.

I don't blame him at all, I'd probably be doing the same if I were in his shoes. But that doesn't mean we can believe everything that comes out of his mouth.

Calzaghe is retiring so he's wrong about that one, and Kessler would prefer a fight in the US. But he's right about Pascal being a good fighter.

Because Taylor turned down a title fight with Froch last year, and now he's refusing again despite being the mandatory - it's very clear Taylor is ducking Froch.

Where did you get the idea that he's refusing to fight Froch? Based on a press article that made claims about Froch's injury, that Froch paranoidly accused Di Bella of being behind, with no evidence? Do you really believe that sort of paranoid allegation? Taylor has made it clear he wants to fight Froch.

And before he fought Lacy, Taylor had just lost two tough back to back fights against Pavlik. It's understandable that he'd want to feel his way into a new division with a tune-up against Lacy, before fighting for a title. That's not ducking.

Bull****; I haven't seen that "word" anywhere.

Source?

"Latest scuttlebutt...is that Jermain Taylor could end up on Showtime, starting on March 28th, maybe against Jean Pascal( since Carl Froch is out till the summer) and then should he beat Pascal, then he'll fight Froch.

From what Im told Showtime would like to stage some sort of round-robin at 168 involving the likes of Bute, Kessler, Abraham and the like

I should have more complete details later"

This is too much logic for Tunney to understand

Taylor is definitely ducking Froch.

Taylor beats the **** out of Froch.

[Dave Rado]

The word is that Taylor will be fighting Pascal in March.

Your word? Froch's word? Link to a reputable source for your claim or don't make allegations you can't substantiate.

Taylor beats the **** out of Froch.

I disagree bro

I can see Taylor leading on the scorecards until he runs out of gas again and gets stopped in the late rounds by the hard hitting warrior Froch.

Froch has zero defense. Taylor wins a wide UD.
