    Do you realize that for every biased American I could find a biased Brit to take his place? 90% of those so called biased Americans are wind up ALTs. Check their post counts.

      Then when you see specific examples of that, call people out for it. Don't bottle it up and take it out on everyone else. It's really not that complicated.

        God I hope Jermain turns up fit and focused for this fight.

        At his best he has way too much for Froch. Froch is tough for sure but Taylor has far too much class.

          Froch is right about one thing: Jermain does have mental issues after those two losses. In some ways I think the second Pavlik loss was the most devestating, because he fought his heart out for 12 rounds and still lost. Still, I don't think Froch will have much to exploit that. If Jermain can pull this one out in convincing fashion, I think he will overcome those defeats and become one of the most dangerous fighters from 168-175.

            I saw Froch fight for the first time today and he will get whipped by Taylor. I will bet 5K on the fight to anyone who accepts.

                I wouldn't say that 'casual' fans outside of Nottingham don't know who Carl is. Regarless of your opinion of him, he IS a name in the UK, I was aware of him quite some time ago. It's impossible to be a world-title holder in the UK and not be well known... we just don't work like that.

                  I don’t see how Jermain Taylor is being ignorant, he’s just playing the game. He knows full well who Carl Froch is and most people who are into boxing do as well.

                    Between the Pascal fight and his bigass mouth, most are at least a lil familiar wit him by now. Lookin forward to the fight.

                      WHY SO SERIOUS??????? It's boxing baby. This is the beauty of the sport. At the end of this fight regardless of a Froch or Taylor win, they will be gentlemen towards each other and the fans. One guy just happens to be from England and the other from America!!
