Jermain Taylor v. Allan Green

[The Fightfan]

Very good fightin my eyes. I do think Taylor could eeek out a desicion. This one would be good and has potential to be great.

taylor is there for the taking if you ask me and his team is clearly dodging froch like the plague because of this fact.

its sad to see but taylor-green is far more likely than taylor-froch, taylor-kessler

Clearly, what with Froch's myriad of glowing accomplishments and all...

PPV HBO are protecting their prize asset.

In terms of competition, is Allan Green is a step down from Froch?

[Tam Seddon]

what is the justification of not fighting Froch? Froch is the champion not Taylor and I think hes forgetting that. Why cant they just fight I really dont understand

Its amazing how people say Taylor is avoiding Froch when Taylor went to Froch with the fight. Where are you getting this from. The fight isn't happening at this time because HBO wouldn't put up the money. Negotiations were going good between the fighters and then HBO nixed it. They don't believe it will produce the draw they are looking for. At least not yet. Froch is not a draw and Taylor is so more blame is on Froch. Allan Green is easily more of a draw even if you think Froch is better. I personally think Froch should be fighting guys like Green, Ward, Direll, etc to get the drawing power to back up his fight demands. American interest is necessary. Boxing is more business than fighting. There are so many people who have to be satisfied in order for a fight to be signed that it is ignorant to just claim two fighters should fight. With Taylor/Green I think it is nice for Green to step it up but I don't think he has picked the right opponent to propel himself to the next level. But he will get his sizable check as a consolation.

There is a difference between being a champion and being a belt holder. Froch won that belt by default. Dam he still hasnt even fought a top ten guy. He did not beat a champ. He doesnt deserve it.

I couldn't agree more. Even Allan Green is better than anyone Froch has fought. Hell, he might even be better than Froch (I don't actually think he is, but Froch certainly hasn't proven otherwise).

well its hard for carl to fight top 10 fighters when they keep on being pussies and not wanting to fight him. Pascal IMO was in the top 10 at 168, carl did the business on him and he wants the big names. They dont want him though
