    A purse bid for a mandatory challenger will see 70% of the purse going to Froch. That's gonna be a bigger aobstacle than anything HBO shoves in.

    HBO, Taylor and his mob never show any interest in the fight and don't seem to care about the poxy alphabet up for grabs.

    Why don't Team Froch start looking for someone else?

    It's not like it will be the greatest fight ever anyway - considering Taylor will be involved

    As much as I want the fight to happen I believe boxing politics get in the way. Its a shame because Carl can win this fight and I believe he can push on through the 168 ranks. If he doesnt fight Taylor he will have to face a mandatory and this isnt his fault because the belt was a vacant win so he doesnt have a choice. As long as he fights Kessler, Inkin, Taylor,Bute or that kid who beat Inkin I in the fight after next I will be happy

    Taylor will win this by easy UD, possibly KO. If Froch struggled with Pascal, Taylor shouldn't have too much trouble exposing the Fraud.

    I think Taylor will fight whoever HBO tell him to fight.

    Default Froch Blasts Taylor et al

    Froch talks a lot of smack, huh?

    My favorite part was when Froch said to get out from under the "Little Rock."

    Yup

    We saw in the inetrview he had with Larry Merchant after the Spinks fight that he is only interested in money and nothing more. He doesnt care about the sport so adding the WBC title means nothing to him unless it brings the money

    If HBO arent keen on Froch all they need do is watch the Pascal fight to see how exciting Carl is

    Let me just first say that I think Carl Froch is one of the most over-hyped fighters to come out of Britain in my lifetime. Apart from Pascal (who himself was probably a year or two too green for Froch), I don't think he has fought anyone at all credible to be justifying claims of being the best SMW in the world. I think when he does step up against the best guys at 168 he will get found out.

    However, I think he should beat Taylor. I've never understood the hype about JT, he's a guy who I thought lost the 5 biggest fights of his career (Hopkins x2, Winky & Pavlik x2) & yet still gets this hype as some world-class boxer. In addition, some of the scorecards he's had in other fights (such as against Ouma & Spinks) have been riduculously favourable towards him. I think Froch will have to knock him out or completely dominate him, just to make sure that he gets the win. Rant over

    If those wankers at HBO took their tounges out of the "home fighters" asses for a while and looked around then they'd know that Carl Froch is the most exciting SM about...
    Fox TV screened this fight TWICE over xmas so true fight fans must know about Froch and know he's the real deal and will batter Taylor silly!
    Did no one at HBO see the Pascal fight.....

    Carl Froch world title fight goes to purse bids
    Haha i think it is funny how you tell the HBO guys to get their tongues out of their home fighters asses when u are the most one eyed Brit boxing fan ever. I saw the Pasal fight and i saw Froch have a hard time with a very limited fighter, this hardly makes him the worlds most exciting SMW!Taylor, Kessler, Bute, Andrade, Bika, Mundine, Miranda, would all beat Pascal as easily if not easier than Froch.

    For god sake Mundine is a joke, a disgrace to boxing, but his level of competition shits all over Frochs! Ottke, Kessler, Soliman, Green, Echols. Even Shannan Taylor would be Frochs second toughest opponent. Im saying this as an Aussie about an Aussie, if i took your line of thought i'd go on about how everyone is dodging Mundine and he is the most underrated fighter in world boxing or something.

    If Carl was not British you'd be the first to say he is a sloppy fighter with bad defense, and limited skill.

    I guess what im trying to say is dont have a go at another country for suporting there home fighters when u do it ten time more your way. Dont be a fanboy.

    I seem to remember Larry Merchant being disgusted at Taylor in a post fight interview and also remember Steward being disgusted with him and ripping his head off in the corner (same fight).
    The tounging i mentioned was aimed at the wanker who is Lou Dibella who like Taylor is just in it for the cash
    It was only myself and Tam Seddon on this site who clearly stated that Froch would win a world strap and we both said this years ago when everyone else dismissed it as b*llshit.
    And if Froch was from any other country i'd still support him...
    So his hands are low? So what?
    He's exciting and entertains and has (In abundance) something that the fighters you have mentioned don't!!
    It's called character, personality...assh*le!
    Which is why most of the fighters like Mundane get little respect from me really.
    They bore me and bring me little excitement.
    I do have massive respect for Kessler for the way he gave Calzaghe a close fight.
    He's a Dane ain't he?

    hahaha Yes mate!!
    To be honest i don't think Taylor want's anything to do with Carl and is swerving him at all costs
    He knows Carl's too much for him.
