If Lacy Fights Taylor, Froch Fights Pascal
from fightnews.
Pascal who is rated #2 WBO, #3 WBA, #3 IBF and #4 WBC has yet another purse-bid scheduled for August in Mexico to meet Denis Inkin for the number one spot in the WBC, but at this point even that is unsure. Right now everything is hinging on this Wednesday’s fight between Jeff Lacy and Epifanio Mendoza. With the WBC title vacant it is Jermain Taylor currently sitting at number three who is in the driver’s seat. The former undisputed middleweight champ has the option of fighting top-ranked Carl Froch for the vacant belt or fighting Lacy if left-hook looks up to the test based on Wednesday’s fight. Should the two former Olympic teammates collide, it would likely be Pascal fighting Froch for the title.

Re: If Lacy Fights Taylor, Froch Fights Pascal
I think the contract stipulates that neither fighter is allowed to hold more then one hand above the waist at a time.

Re: If Lacy Fights Taylor, Froch Fights Pascal
Well I must admit I would much rather see the Taylor-Froch fight whatever happens tomorrow. Lacy just hasn't looked upto it since Calzaghe and I have some questions on Froch that would be answered by a fight with Taylor.

Re: If Lacy Fights Taylor, Froch Fights Pascal
I think Taylor takes it Tko vs. Lacy right now,straight shots and shifts would take a toll.Taylor needed to go up and Lacy is somewhat worn.I think Lacy stamps out Mendoza coming up,good to see his condition.

I see Taylor coming out on top of this...

Lacy will win the odds are -1200/+600 . Those are crazy ass odds for Lacy, the other person must not have a pulse.

Personally I don't think Lacy looked that good before Calzaghe.
I too would rather see Taylor-Froch. Taylor is still new to the division and Froch would be able to finally have a good answer to the question "who have you fought?"

I don't know who's putting those numbers out, but I have serious reservations that the fight will be a blow out by that much, unless Mendoza is gonna be drugged or something. Seriously there must be something in Lacy that I'm missing.

Re: If Lacy Fights Taylor, Froch Fights Pascal
Won't happen w/ Froch folks Imo......Lacy vs. Taylor on deck for the short term makes dollars.... :biteit: ;D

Re: If Lacy Fights Taylor, Froch Fights Pascal
Froch will need a zimmer frame for his ring entrance if he doesnt have a meaningful fight soon.

Re: If Lacy Fights Taylor, Froch Fights Pascal
I really want Froch - Taylor more than any fight thats been talked about lately, it would give Froch the chance to fight hsi first "big name" opponent and (hopefully) prove that he is world class. Unfortunetely I can't see it happening as Taylor Lacy would draw more (in the US where the money is) so they'll obviously go with fighting for the most money instead of trying to prove their the best (as happens too often), hey Taylor probably needs the money ;D (hint of sarcasm there)

Re: If Lacy Fights Taylor, Froch Fights Pascal
Can't blame Froch if the other guy don't want to fight him.
Maybe blame Mick Hennessy though. Not sure :-\

Me too his boxing skills will see him to victory,Lacy ain't the same fighter post Calzaghe..... Joe broke his heart that night and Lacy was gifted a victory last time out and looked poor in the latter rounds;)

Re: If Lacy Fights Taylor, Froch Fights Pascal
I think whatever combination of these fighters are made Taylor comes out the victor.
Taylor is a guy who I've followed for a long time now, I'm just hoping he can finally step it up, I think the last Pavlik Fight would have been a good morlae booster.

Re: If Lacy Fights Taylor, Froch Fights Pascal
What do you guys think of Froch-Pascal?
I know both guys have more detractors then supporters, but I like Pascal. He is a bit frustrating at times, but he's a fun guy to watch and to be honest, his whole persona is great. I think it was Christian Cruz he fought when he entered on a motorcycle, that was cool. I haven't seen him in a very long time though, would have to brush up before I pick a winner in that one. Both guys are likely to be exposed at the top level but against each other it's not a bad matchup.

Similarly to yourself I'd have to have a good look at Pascal's recent form before I'd call it.
Haven't seen anything from him in a bit, but saw some of his earlier work.

Well Lacy's defense has always been shit, but his offense I thought was actually pretty good. I love how he mixes it up to the head and body. I haven't seen him fight since that Tsypko guy, tho.

Re: If Lacy Fights Taylor, Froch Fights Pascal
I would be happy with Pascal if Taylor chooses Lacy. Pascal has proved he is decent and would be a good test for Froch. Both hungry and undefeated, lets hope Pascal is up for it.
Does anybody actually know when the confirmation of this fight is going to be ? I guess if Lacy wins tonight in style he will offer taylor out im guessing? I would prefer Taylor-Froch but Pascal-Froch will do me.

Add that to the fact that the injury he suffered as practically ended his career.

Good to see someone else thinks like me...
For a second there I thought people would see Froch as the winner of all this.

Taylor in my opinion is one of the most adaptave boxers in the ring. I really think Taylor - Froch would be a one sided whooping. I see him beat Lacy too. I think Taylor could be the next big thing at 168 belt wise. Thats if Pavlik stays at 160.

Re: If Lacy Fights Taylor, Froch Fights Pascal
Only somewhat related:
Just noticed on Boxrec that Inkin fought yesterday (6 round UD against a 6-1 fighter).
What's up with that, and what's up with Inkin in general? Where does he fit in this picture - he was supposed to fight Froch first after all.

Royal, is that you?? :rolleyes:;D
I really like Lacy but I think he would just get beaten up by the likes of Taylor now. Lacy got shellshocked against Calzaghe and then the injury. He's barely got into a groove since the Calzaghe fight.
I dont think he can perform at the top level anymore.
