    I think too much is made of all this ducking business.

    Fact is this; Froch is now a world super middleweight champion. The others in the division, if they claim to be the best at 168 should jump at the chance of fighting him. Nevermind what HBO think, great fighters NEED to fight one another, and ultimately should WANT to fight each other. Froch has impressed me with his willingness to fight anyone in the division. He definately deserves a big-time fight.

      Wow, that hook really looked like a satellite-guided missile.

      About Froch and Taylor, I would love to see them fight but it's seems to be HBO call after all. Anyway that fight should be made.

        Froch has a big arsenal of upperuts and screwshot punches. He can hit hard and anyone that saw Pascal's face afterwards would have not have recognised him.

        The 3 keys to beating Taylor - are aggressive punchers, big heart and a big engine.

        Froch throws bombs for 12 rounds, he can jab when he wants to and is bigger than Taylor.

        I think the Cobra at 6'1 and a solid physique and workrate will out-muscle the slicker Taylor down the stretch and take the win.

        Froch has a tremendous chin, one of the best of recent times - therefore Taylor has to jab and move and keep Froch off for the full 12.

        That's quite a big task and i dont think Taylor has the engine, chin or strength to do that.

        I think Taylor has lost that hunger... that important 'will to win' at any costs. Wheras I feel froch has that.

        And ultimately that will separate them.

          Froch has a good chance against Taylor with his power but Pascal hit him a lot and a skilled faster guy like Taylor will land more punches, Froch best hope is to last the first 6-8 rounds and try and go for a late KO but if i was going to put money on it i would go for Taylor UD.

            Taylor would make easy work of Froch.

              Hopefully the fighters will come to an agrement and the fight will go ahead.
              I like Froch and am very interested in seeing how he can perform against the divisions big names.

                I think Froch vs. Taylor would be close to a 50/50 fight, although I'd make Taylor a slight favorite. Both have their strengths, and both have limitations.

                It would be an intriguing matchup, so I hope it happens!

                  Rumor over at boxing confidential is this fight could get made in the next 24 hours...

                    Froch is tough as nails and he hits hard, I think he would stop Taylor.
                    Lacy is tough as nails and hits hard too... doesn't mean anything.

                    Not to mention Lacy covers up and moves his head more than Froch.

                      Taylor gets nothin for beatin RJ at this point. And I doubt he gets Joe C, and he'd lose if he did. He needs to fight Froch.
