    When I said Froch needs someone for his resume in an earlier post, it's because he hasn't fought many great fighters but only because noone has given him a chance. This will be a step towards big things for Froch.
    I see your point, but Froch should fight someone like Allan Green or Jaidon before fighting Taylor. JT at a good weight and focused is hell for any fighter. I would like to see Froch fight Mikkel Kessler to be honest.

      A Kessler fight would be really good too, but since Jermain is the #1 contender to Froch's title, the fight just makes sense.

        Mikkel would duck him anyway. Would you like to bet some points on that fight?

          I hope so, Forch wants it, and so do all the fans. I got Jermain Taylor winning a UD in this one, but it would be a exciting fight, that's for sure.

                One sided for Froch?

                  I think Taylor is a spent force to be honest, and the rough, rugged Froch could give anyone a fight, i see this 55-45 in favour of Froch

                    Should be a good fight... but I see Froch as being a SMW version of Berto. An exciting fighter who owns a championship belt, but totally incapable of winning against the elites. I hope this fight gets made, but I don't give Froch much of a chance to win against Taylor. I think a better option for Froch's career would be Bute, but he's exciting to watch either way.

                      Excellent matchup. Froch will test Taylor a lot more than Lacy did.
