Massive respect to Froch, he has already surpassed Calzaghe's resume.

Big shout out to Carl Froch, who, in his first defense of his WBC title has signed to fight Jermain Taylor. In my view Taylor is better than anyone on Calzaghe's resume apart from maybe Kessler who broke his hand in their fight anyway. Hopkins obviously was very old when he fought Calzaghe, I'm not disrespecting Hopkins at all.

Froch wants to just get in there and give the Brits a no-nonsense world champion without any controversy.

War Froch.

He hasn't surpassed anything.

Caus he hasn't done anything.

Taylor is 1-2 in his last 3 fights, losing one of them by brutal KO.

Agreed. This is one of the more blatant bait threads. TS =

Exactly. I hate Froch's guts but I give him credit for getting a big fight this quickly.

He's been a pro 7 years.
