He wants it more and Taylor is blatantly scared of him already and wanted nothing to do with this fight and tried everything to not fight him.

Carls on a mission and will crush him inside the distance
I've heard this before, but I've yet to hear a reasonable explanation why Taylor, who fought Hopkins x2; Wright; and Pavlik x2, would be scared of fighting a defensively deficient, mostly untested fighter who struggled against Pascal, the only semi-decent fighter he had been in the ring with.

Network interest/money is a legitimate excuse for not fighting a largely unheralded fighter like Froch. Taylor's at the stage in his career where he's trying to maximize his earnings and set himself up for big fights in the future. He's already got name recognition.

I would imagine a fight with someone like Allan Green would bring in a comprable amount of money, with a lower risk, and more American interest, so him persuing that fight is not indicitive of being afraid of Froch. Is Froch a better challenge? No doubt, but he's largely unknown in the States.
