Why on earth is Froch any more highly regarded now than he has ever been? Because he was in a good action fight against Pascal, nevermind the fact that Pascal isn't anything remotely special himself? It's odd to me how a fighters stock can go up just because they were forced to dig down and fight hard, when it was against a somewhat ordinary opponent they did so. If anything that fight reinforced his limitations. Im fairly out of the loop recently, is the Taylor fight still on? I give Froch very little chance in that one if so. Calzaghe would toy with him, that wouldn't even be a fight imo , and certainly not one worth coming out of retirement for from Joe's perspective, unless Froch is really a big enough draw domestically. Id really only want to see Calzaghe fight Dawson if he did want to keep on, but I guess considering Chad is rematching Tarver you couldn't complain to much if he did fight Froch.
