He has power, but his lack of defense will be his downfall when he steps up is class.Quote:

Although i don't think its his fault in the last 2 years why he hadn't stepped it up quicker. Remember he was gonna face Denis Inkin and he pulled out, he's called out Joe Calzaghe/Jermain Taylor.
So its not like he is afraid to fight the best, but i do think he would get taught a lesson from Jermain Taylor if they fight.
Back in the day when he battered Clinton Woods into a bloody stoppage.Quote:

Froch is an overrated piece of shit.Quote:

Out of the 3 names mentioned by Taylor and his camp only 1 is not an old man. Taylor is mandatory contender and it shows where the alphabet mess has got us when it is the No.1 contender deciding who he fights rather than the Champion.
Give Froch a chance I say - If he can't beat the overated Taylor then he just isn't good enough. Let Taylor prove it rather than fighting the shot Roy Jones.
