    Taylor ducking Froch, anyone?

    I see constant talk about European fighters ducking Fat Yanks (and that's cool and all... I gather that Calzaghe's put a bid in to fight Ali) but not so much the other way round.

    I don't wanna hear "yo, dere ain't no $$$$ in it", particularly when Taylor fought for the mandatory challenger position to the WBC (instead of fighting for the belt itself against Froch)... it doesn't matter who watches, that doesn't come into the *****-puss-puss equation.

    If you're a puss, you're a puss. And I'm saying that Sad Intentions is a puss-puss.

    I don't know why Taylor isn't fighting this guy. But it's a bit of a disappointment considering Froch is nothing special.

            quite a blatant duck - taylor knows the 2 main guys in the division are froch and kess. both are euros, both can **** and both are capable of beating JT.

            so hes figured i'll take on some other guy and let them get it on, then i can take the winner on and thus reduce the risk.

            btw has anyone heard anything about froch and kess getting it on? froch has earned big props for his 'i'll take on all comers' attitude, i never really liked the guy but his desire to fight the best is refreshing. him and g.johnson seem to be the only ones interested in taking on the dangerous dane to prove their worth.

              Taylor is gutless

                He's not per se, but Sad Intentions has weaknesses, his ext. poor stamina the most notable.

                  I think he answered those questions when he immediately rematched the man who knocked him out cold.

                    This whole subject of Taylor ducking Froch is a bit comical considering people claimed Jermain was ranked to highly in the Super middleweight division without fighting a ranked contender. Now that Taylor is facing top ten SMWs he is being criticized as if he hasn't fought elite competition before. He is a contender who has barley stepped foot in this new division. The man doesn't even have a belt yet he is avoiding fighters. The funny thing is Taylors camp tried to negotiate with Bute's team to no avail but I guess he is avoiding him to. Froch isn't going anywhere any time soon and if he looses we can all turn into Calzaghe stans and claim The Cobra was nothing but hype and that's why Taylor didn't fight him JK.

                    Froch has publicly ripped Calzaghe apart and claimed he is ducking him also. Just because a fighter talks up a big game does not mean you have to fight him. Jermain could wait as long as he wants to face any SMW. He is a contender who has had only one fight at 168. People act as if Taylor has been there his whole career avoiding fighters. Jermain has a great resume and fought all the best at 160 excluding Abraham so I doubt he is avoiding Carl.

                    He still has a long career to go, lets not judge him right now. Green is no push over, a win against him could prepare him for Froch. Some could argue Allen posses more boxing skill than Carl, don't let his loss to Miranda fool you.
                    If anyone thinks Taylor is ducking Froch they must not know the risks Jermain took throughout his career. Eventually he should fight Kessler or Froch but he can take as long as he wants to do so considering he holds no belts and has had only one fight in his new division.
