    Difficult to tell... he's never had the opportunity to step up this far, but not through his own fault. He's been calling people out all throughout his career.


    And Street Bully, I believe it's Polish.

          If JT loses big to a relatively unheralded Froch, he will be 1-3 in his last four fights, and 3-3-1 in his last seven.

          He could easily still have a career but immediately after the Froch loss he would likely be bumped to gatekeeper/opponent status, being lined up against young contenders looking for a name on their resume that will get them a title shot. I'm not sure that's a role he wants after being at the top of the sport...

            his career has always been a big question mark.
            He took two very controversial and almost robberies against Hopkins. Not to mention the whole shady circumstances he took them, what with HBO and Hopkins not getting on with each other.

            Not to mention a very very dodgy draw against Winky

                I don't see why Froch's being "relatively unheralded" is an issue. He's not fought anyone of real note - though not through any fault of his own - so we don't know how good or bad he is.

                If he turns out to be good, then what does it matter what the press said about him beforehand?

                  I'm sorry 'White Hypes' you say? Kinda like how White Hype Pavlik rules 168? Or Abraham? Or how Calzaghe owned 168 through to 175? Or how 'White Hype' Klitschko's rule the HW division? That kind of 'White Hype'?

                  Thank you for turning my favourite sport into a racially charged issue rather than the skill and sportsmanship it should be based on.

                  You ****ing ******; you make me sick!


                  Oh and 'on topic' Froch's going to beat Taylor who has no heart.

                    Taylor wins he goes on to take Bute and Kessler. He loses its Ward/Miranda winner, Dirrell, Bika if he continues to fight.

                      Jermain Taylor that this is do or die for him. I honestly believe that he's gonna come into the fight completely prepared and determined. He hungry again, and he wants it bad. He's going to surprise a lot of people.
