Carl Froch Denies Rib Injury, Blasts Team Jermain Taylor

[Enemy/Friend]

I disagree bro

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

Who's chin is more tested Taylor's or Pascals?

"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"

Although now Froch seems to have cleared up that he is not injured

So you admit the article is bull****, but still believe the bits of it that you want to believe?

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

Why would he choose an opponent that Froch just defeated, instead of Froch?

Anybody who can't see he's ducking Froch is a moron.

If he is fighting Pascal then I don't know. My thing is, why does Taylor need to duck a guy like Froch? What does he bring to the ring that rivals Hopkins, Wright, or Pavlik?

I know it was not directed at me but Froch's chin has held up better than Taylor's. Both have been tested recently. Taylor failed when hit hard by Kelly and Froch passed when hit hard by Pascal.

Thanks, now I understand where Tunney is getting Pascal from.

However, it said "MAYBE Jean Pascal," and thus far it's just a rumor only linked to one source with nothing from either Pascal or Taylor's camp to support it. I highyl, HIGHLY doubt Taylor would fight Pascal in March if Froch will be ready to go by April. That makes absolutely zero sense.

Sorry you seemed to be backing up Tunney.

The question was about Taylor's chin vs. Pascal's chin, not Taylor's vs. Froch's.

Either way, Taylor's has been tested more than either man's. It failed against Pavlik at 160 with a shot he didn't see coming, but passed at 166.

Pascal's chin held up to Froch's punches while he was rocked in his previous fight against a guy with a 38% KO rating; there is no reason to assume that Taylor's wouldn't hold up against Froch just as well as Pascal's did. Froch's never KO'd a legitimate top 10 fighter.

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?
