      To his credit Joe has class I wouldnt expect him to actually bash a guy that grew up so close to him. I wouldnt put it past Joe to promote Froch in the near future.

        Not a bad idea, Frochs current promoter Mick Hennessy is rubbish to be fair.

          I dont see how anyone could say JT is shot. Even if Froch wins, JT is young. He's not shot.

          If Froch wins it means that he's better than MOST everyone thinks.

              I agree. Just waiting for the excuses from some of the numptys on here.

              If Froch wins I dont think he will get the credit he deserves, especialy from yanks

                I think it's a pick 'em fight, and wouldn't be at all surprised if Froch pulled off the upset. Not saying he will, but I think he has a good chance. He's greatly under-estimated, IMO. He's an excellent counter-puncher, has a very good jab, a great chin, punches from unexpected angles, and fights with a non-stop intensity that could make Taylor very uncomfortable.

                  Getting KTFO won't mean that Taylor is shot... looking like utter **** and then getting KTFO might, on the other hand, indicate that his best performances are behind him.

                  However if Taylor looks good but still gets decisioned or KO'd, Froch will deserve major credit.

                    Probably not, but if he continues on this winning path and gets by Pav, Kessler to name a few. People/Haters will then need to question themselves if they continue to call him a bum.

                    JT is Froches Lacy. Another words its his come out fight.... and everyone's against him. At least here in America they are just as they where/are with Joey C.....

                      Maybe so, but if JT is in great shape and comes to fight one must remember this is the guy that went 24 rounds with HOP and the same guy that had the power to almost KO Pav who I think has a solid chin.

                      Experience wise JT should be able to handle anything Froch brings to the table. I think JT will do just as he said he would do. "Teach Froch how to lose".

                      Either way this will be a solid win for both guys and I cant wait.
