Jermain Taylor v. Allan Green

[Tam Seddon]

what a coward!

[blegit]

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.

The British have always totally dominated the Super Middleweight division.

Calzaghe, Reid, Benn, Eubank and now Froch.

Dibella has admitted that Lacy was an easier fight than Froch - they know he is a hard bastard and will throw the sink at fragile Taylor.

No Taylor = No income for Dibella !

Taylor brings in money regardless of who he fights. Froch doesn't. Froch needs the exposure. Froch should travel to the US to fight the Allan Green's/Andre Ward's of the 68' division for less money and build his franchise. He shouldn't follow in the footsteps of Calzaghe and wait until the twilight of his career to do it. Do it now. Prove himself on the world stage.

Froch, the WBC champion, should travel to America to fight these Americans because .. err.. why exactly?

Green and Ward have won NOTHING. Shouldn't THEY be travelling to Britain in the hope of getting a shot at Froch?

It seems like one rule for AMERICAN fighters another for the rest

Taylor will fight Froch next and it will be in the USA. So we will see who finally is the best.

Yeah, that's a pretty strong list. For some reason, a lot of good/great Europeons @ 168.

Also have Sven Ottke, Markus Beyer, Kessler, Veit, Catley

Yes, because the super middle weight division has existed a really long time and guys like James Toney and Roy Jones Jr don't exist.
