    Carl Froch

    He may be the Champion of the World, and we should all be proud that such a tiny island like Britain keeps on producing boxing World Champions, but he did beat an ageing Taylor.

    He may have shown great bravery last night, as well as skill, but let us not get carried away with him.

    Until he unifies his division like Calzaghe, comparisons to the greatest British fighter of all time are void in my opinion.

        I don't think comparisons are fair at this point.

        But.....Froch is a viable opponent for Calzaghe now, and would be big scalp. If Joe isn't quite sure about the retirement thing.

        I'd love Joe to fight Froch, I've never fully accepted his retirement. He should've bowed out in Britain.

              Taylor just can't cope with fighters who finish strongly. He doesn't have the stamina or the heart to be in a proper fight. Taylor still remains a World-class boxer however and a threat to anyone.

                Yes this is true. However Taylor is not that old and Froch is never gonna be Calzaghe cailbur (as much as I dislike him). I believe when such fighters like Calzaghe, Pretty Boy Floyd, Sugar Ray Leonard....Etc. Retire with more fighters wanting to fight them in the ring they are best and until proven otherwise they New champs in that division will never compare!!!!!

                  Sorry, when I described Taylor as ageing I meant that he is past his peak so to speak, whereas Froch is not.

                  I should have made that clearer but I am at work right now and cannot really spend much time on my posts!
