now the WBC super middleweight crown is vacant...

[Bomp]

In the last 18mths calzaghe has held the WBO, WBA, WBC, IBF, IBO 168lb titles by beating the other champions. I see where Calzaghe is coming from with regards to "There is always another guy to beat"

Honestly Froch would be easy money for Joe as he will be for Kessler, Taylor or Bute.

What better way to leave 168lbs after 11yrs of dominance beating a great young hungry 39-0 champion like Kessler?

I do want Calzaghe fight Pavlik though.

Calzaghe should of fought Froch instead of Manfredo but its too late for Froch now, Calzaghe has bigger fish to fry and Froch doesn't bring that much to the table.

problem with froch is that he has blossomed a year or two to late to be fighting calzaghe.

Had he of been a world contender at 26/27 the fight would eventually of happened.

What carl has gotta be wary of now though is getting beat by someone. That`ll take 3-4 years to come back from and at 31 froch just doesnt have the time to be avenging losses.

What the hell has Froch done in the last 2 yrs to 'blossom' into a world contender? he's fought absolutley no one. In terms of the WBC, he's some how got up the rankings and it wasn't his fault the last guy bottled out so I suppose he deserves a shot at the title, but the guy who says Calzaghe is ducking him is smoking crack.

As for Taylor, I'd be seriously dissapointed if he opted to fight Lacy rather than Froch. Froch may be unproven, but Lacy HAS proven that he IS finished over the last 18 months, I seriously doubt he'd make a significant more money fighting Lacy so his reasons so far sound pretty lame, it's up to him and his camp to make up an offer to get Froch over to the US. If his camp can't produce a better offer than Froch's people, it should be prety obvious to Taylor where he actually stands in terms of pulling power at the moment, and he needs to get busy in the ring to turn that around, he doesn't hold all the cards anymore.
