OMAR PITTMANS POWER>>>>>>>>FROCH'S

Taylor wants the title shot but negotiations did not work out with location/money/date. LOL @ believing he would duck Froch someone that has Hopkins, Wright, Pavlik on resume. Cmon ppl

No. Taylor does not want a titleshot. According to Dibella Taylor only wants easy money. Hence Green.

The point is that Taylor doesn't want a title fight, he was the WBC mandatory and he ducked it to fight Green, having previously fought Lacy in preference to fighting for the title. Lacy could be justified on the basis he deserved a tune-up fight after two losses to Pavlik, but he can't claim he needs two tune-ups, IMO.

And my point is that as long as Taylor isn't holding a title, he can take as many tune ups as he wants. He has the star power to get a title shot anytime he wants and I don't consider challengers as the ones who duck title fights. I also don't look at Green as a soft touch. He is a step up from Lacy, IMO.

i couldnt be any less interested in this fight

Wow, Green really lucked out on this one.

Yeah, finally Allan Green gets the opporutnity at 168 he's been looking for years. If he wins this one, he will become the WBC #1 and beating Froch is a foregone conclusion imo. However this one is tough as Taylor is a very good fighter and I'm a fan of him too.

May the best man win.

Kill yourself. Green is a better fighter then Froch and should've gotten a title shot way before a fighter like Froch. Taylor did the right thing.

It's a good fight but I would have been more interested in a Taylor vs Froch fight.Anyway I'd go for Taylor against Green but you can'd know with Taylor.

You know it's ALLAN Green right? The guy who lost to Miranda right?

[Vladimir303]

I agree...


Taylor/Green is a decent SMW match up... not a great one... but if Taylor needs another confidence-builder after his two losses, then so be it. I really don't think he was developed properly before being thrown to the wolves against Hopkins and Wright, so more than anything right now he should be staying busy and hone his craft. We saw flashes of an experienced, veteran fighter against Lacy, so maybe tune-ups like this will make him a better fighter in the long run.

.

Confidence builder.....he'll have less confidence after this fight. Stylistically Green is a bigger problem for him then Froch, win or lose. Taylor aint walking out of there with an easy confiden building win and that's not why he took the fight.

He took the fight because he knows Green is a credible opponent, one that the networks in the U.S. are interested in and one who has been on top of the supper-middleweight rankings for years now and still hasn't lost at 168.

You know it's ALLAN Green right? The guy who lost to Miranda right?

Yes, 1 loss at 160, not 168. A loss where he had colon problems and later had surgery and had 80% of it removed. In a rematch, Green smokes him.

Green is underrated, and yes I do know Green, peep the avatar.
