Can't win if you don't fight. ShowTime has already put the fight on calender. They ain't going to do that on a fight that's still in negotiations. The fight is already set. But the fear in Fraud is kicking in.
Hes not scared though, he wants this fight. It will happen, your just looking to have a little pop at him before he knocks taylor out
The reason people have a go at Froch is because he's somehow been annointed the best Super-Middleweight in the world by himself & the British boxing media. The simple fact is he's edged a fight with Jean Pascal (I had him winning 115-113, anything more than 116-112 is over generous IMO). In contrast Jermain Taylor has had 2 tight fights with Bernard Hopkins (I thought Hopkins won both 115-113, but regardless they're close fights still that some thought he won), a close one with Winky & decent 2nd fight with Pavlik. I ain't a big Taylor fan & think he has been stupidly overrated at times by some in the US, but the fact is he is light-years ahead of Froch in talent. Froch's only chance is a KO & that's if he actually does have heavy hands or whether he's just been fighting easy/shot fighters.

I've seen people in the UK claim no one in the 168lb division has anything on Froch. He's apparently got the best chin (they clearly don't know who Librado Andrade is), the best power (I'd say Kessler's is better), the best skills (Lucian Bute, who's that?). The only thing I'll give him is that now Mundine has gone to 160, he does have the biggest mouth & he sure lets that get to work. Except this time it might just have got him into a bit of trouble
