Jermain Taylor v. Allan Green

[Fenster]

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

Tom, I respect that you are a fan of Froch's, but if he really wanted to fight top ten fighters - he would fight top ten fighters for less money and in unfriendly environments, like the US or Canada. Has he ever even fought outside of Nottingham? Let alone the UK? Has he ever accepted the raw end of the stick to get a bigger fight?

For a good example, look to Timothy Bradley. No one outside of California had even heard of Tim Bradley. What did Tim Bradley do? He flew to London to fight a top five junior welter weight (Junior Witter) for low pay. Now he is a top contender who everyone is forced to pay attention to at junior welterweight.

With that being said, it looks like the Taylor fight is happening after all, and Froch is actually taking the lower pay and unfriendly environment:

Good move Froch. Win or lose, he gains a ton in notoriety.

I may have to eat my words

Froch has fought in America before.

Tim Bradley was the number one contender to Witter's WBC title. It's understandable he travelled.

Carl Froch is the champion, Taylor the challenger, yet Froch is still willing to travel to make the fight.

Taylor has never fought outside the states. He would rather NOT fight the champion than travel.

Froch's crime is clearly being a NON American based fighter.
