Like Calzaghe said recently, he was world champ at 25, he beat a legend in Euabank to win it and is still a champ now 11 years later.

Froch is 31 and has only just wan his first title and the only reason he got that chance is because Calzaghe moved up to beat 2 more legends, while Froch was having a life and death battle with someone the same as himself who wasnt proven.
Taylor fighting Kess is the ideal result for Froch. He can keep his title for one more fight while claiming to be avoided.
