Taylor ducking Froch, anyone?

[The Monk]

Sadly for Carl he is high risk and low reward and will be avoided by quite a few boxers.

I think he should try to get a fight against Bika or Andrade, both would be amazing fights which I think Carl would eventually emerge victorious.

Will you be happy to stay in your current employment as correcting idiotic statements?

Fixed.

And yes.

[Addition]

Taylor is all about the money now, not the competition.

Taylor isn't a name in that division. Why do so many Non-Americans overate his status in the SMW division because of his nationality? He is working his way up to a title shot, I see nothing wrong with that.

Because having seen plenty of his fights,we saw how good he was.He is moving up 1 division.he also says that he was struggling to keep making MW.A fighter of his prior form and ability level should be able to handle fighters like froch and kessler,and if he was on his game then i think he could.maybe I'm doubting him too much,maybe he will be a force at SM.My gut instincts tell me he wont as the body language of his team seems to have an air of negativity about it.And alarm bells ring at that because as you pointed out,taylor is not known for shirking challenges

You said it yourself, a win over Lacy isn't impressive and that is his only win at super middleweight. He moved up a division coming off of two losses to limited fighter at best. Pavlik may be the middleweight champion but he is very one dimensional and being out boxed by him is a bit worrying for Taylor. IMO and many others Jermain shouldn't have been ranked number five in a new division without fighting any contenders first. I think he should work his way up to a title shot before he faces a champion.

Not duckin him, just bein ******.

[GTL]

Taylor lost his hunger..
Its his fault..
DiBella made him rich and now hes comfortable..
Why fight?

Rose too fast and too soon..
He doesnt have that eye of the tiger..

Its a shame, hes so athletic and fast..
But he was never a good boxer.. His physical attributes bailed him outta his close fights

Btw, Froch is a B level fighter with a good chin..
Taylor would beat him if he trains hard (unlikely tho)

[ellwise69]

is this fight even going to happen?

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.

There is no money in it. Carl Froch doesn't improve Taylor's earning power at all in the United States. Carl Froch doesn't exist in America. Yes, his promoter might've offered JT 2.5 mil but what about the fights after that? Allan Green is a well known, solid fighter. Carl Froch needs to prove himself he's not even that good...
