    For what it's worth, Lou DiBella has said Froch will be a much harder fight for Taylor than Lacy will
    Even if Lacy fights Taylor at the level he was at against Manfredo, I doubt that. Maybe a more risky fight but I don't think it would actually be harder. That's me though, but I don't think Froch will present many problems at all aside from power but Taylor has a good chin and I doubt Froch gets his power to land much anyways.
    Maybe they see it as - Lacy has been totally exposed. Froch, although looks semi-crap more than good.. is unbeaten, ambitious, has a good chin, is a big supermiddle and can bang.

    Team Taylor are far more more interested in fighting Lacy than Froch, that's for sure.. but totally understandable as it makes them more MONEY

    . . . . . . and less risk

    Yeah, clearly that's how they see it.

    But if Froch offered them more money i'm pretty (pretty as in certain) sure they would take that fight.

    Possibly.. I think Taylor and Lacy were always being lined up to meet as they rose through the rankings but it wasnt meant to happen in this manner ( both fighting to salvage reputations ) rather a superfight if both men were still champs.

    As for Carl and the Watreman fight . That was a long time ago and we have to judge how a fighter is performing now. Pac got knocked out twice by bums. Tito often got floored by nobodies, and everyone has off nights ask Lewis. Fact is Froch is still unbeaten and is about at his prime right now. Dangerous fight for Taylor . Froch fights like Pavlik , but maybe a bit quicker and bigger . May not be as good but we'll see.

    Are you serious? Fights like Pavlik? No. No he does not. He fights like Vic Darchinyan, he makes Roman Karmazin look technically sound. Westerman fight was just as long ago as the Typsko fight and Lacy is being judged by that. He hasn't faced a test like Westerman in the time being either.

    Froch could be blessed to have the balls of Lacy to finish a 10 round fight when he had a potentially career ending Torn rotator cuff in the 2nd round and gutted out a desicion anyway...

    Froch wont accompolish half the good positive things Lacy did in his career

    Does Fraud really think his coming forward with his hands down and lunging with upper cuts will work against a fighter like Taylor? Hell no. It's going to get him knocked out. The only reason it hasn't happened yet is because Fraud has faced pure bums who couldn't take advantage of his bad habits. Taylor will. He's the better fighter. I see Taylor shattering that long beak Fraud calls a nose

    No kidding VD, ask anyone who knows anything if lunging in with uppercuts from the outside is a good idea. Some might argue it has some uses, but certainly not the with the frequency Froch uses them. He has so many bad habits it's almost comical to think people would pick him in this one. An Olympian who beat Hopkins, drew with Wright and gave Pavlik his two closest fights to date, almost won both. He operates on an entirely different level.
