WBC extend deadline for Froch-Taylor title clash

[Bomp]

I Think Froch would Knock Taylor 10 feet up in the air personally
then Bring on Kelly to really light up the division(s).
What a fight that would be!!

I would like to see this matchup with the winner facing Pavlik. But if Taylor wins (and there's a good chance) seeing him lose for a 3rd time would be just awful.

I don't think it will be any sort of eliminator.
Kelly seems conteneted to be a Middleweigfht champ for the time being.
He only followed Taylor in order to clean up any questions about his chin or to dispell any rumours of luck in his first win.

Since Pav can make $2.5 mill fighting the Locketts of this world, I guess he'd need a lot to gain to move up to SM soon. If the JC fight can't be made I don't see Pavlik rushing up any time soon, he's young enough to wait for the guys like Froch to really make a name for himself (IMO Froch not top level, but hopefully we'll find out in the next few months.).

I thought Taylor was gonna take teh easy route and go for Lacy .

Froch deserves this chance and I hope it happens for him

[Tam Seddon]

If taylor doesnt sign, hes a coward. simple as, people are actually fearing Froch at this momment and Inkin made that clear. There is no excuse for Taylor not fighting Froch other than he is scared. Its a step back to the top for Taylor, so why isnt he taking it

Taylor has fought Bernard Hopkins when he was one of the top P4P, Winky Wright when he was 2 P4P and Kelly Pavlik twice who might be the scariest guy in boxing, him or Cotto. He's not scared of Carl Froch.

Winky was never p4p number 2 was he? and even so Carl hits A LOT harder than winky wright can. Maybe after loosing to Pavlik twice he doesnt want to get involved with a live fighter like Froch. Lacy an easy oppanent for Taylor IMO.

I dont get why he wont fight Froch instead of Lacy, its for the WBC belt. Lacy is a complete bum and hes proved that in his last 3 outings. Froch is a true contender compared with Lacy.

Yes he was number 2 before and even on some lists after the Taylor fight. Froch is going to get exposed it's just a matter of who will do the exposing. Unless he revamps his game completely.

The reasons are quite simple. HBO wants him to fight Lacy. Lacy brings more money and is more highly rated.

You need to watch more of Froch he really is going to bring problems to any fighter at 168-175. You will see trust me, he forces the fight and you simply cant box him for 12 rounds. He makes people trade blows, this is where he is deadly, with his power and nimble accurate punches, it wears fighters down. That why a fight with Taylor would be perfect for Froch, Taylor gets tierd down the strech and he also likes to trade punches, what carl likes doing best. Taylor may be a bit quicker, but Taylor will slow down when hes getting constant pressure from Froch, which he will apply for 12 rounds none stop.

Lacy really has though; Domintated one side beating by JC, Tyspko was robbed IMO and he bearly beat Manfraudo. Therefore proving me point that hes a bum, hes never going to challenge for a title again and Taylor would beat him easily. Froch is a true contender, hes number in the WBC, Inkin fagged out of his last fight, hes 23-0 19kos, I think that proves that hes certainly belongs to fight with the higher tier fighters in the 168 weights class. Thats why I want this Taylor match badly. Either way, Froch will move on to bigger better fights if Taylor doesnt take this fight.

[Fenster]

Taylor is in a different league to anyone Froch has faced.

But

For what it's worth, Lou DiBella has said - Froch will be a much harder fight for Taylor than Lacy will

[JT Rock]

Taylor will expose the 168 pound version of Vic Darchinyan quite easily...

Pavlik needs to fight Arthur Abraham to really lock up the Middleweight division, I think thats the missing piece to Pavliks utter domination of the division, then he should move up

Bingo.

Though not sure where Pavlik fits in here

I read the 1st couple of posts and it seemed that people were hastily matching up Pavlik with Froch already... Though after Taylor demolishes him I'm not quite sure there will be enough left of him to fill a shoebox let alone get snuffed out by Pavlik

[amat]

And I saw Dale Westerman give Carl Froch a mighty run for his money and tag him all over, a 15-5 fighter before he collapsed down the stretch and not get stopped by a punch but because he was to tired to continue. Froch was exposed that night imo.

Jermain Taylor is no Dale Westerman.

[Fenster]

Apparently this fight will only happen if Lacy messes up his "gimme" next week.

HBO want Taylor-Lacy NOT Froch.

Obviously Taylor doesn't give a funk about the WBC belt if he can earn MORE money going in another direction
