Froch isn't as willing to fight Taylor as he led us to believe...

[JazMerkin]

froch is the champ fk taylor

Your kidding right? Taylor has the better resume hands down

Froch is NOT THE CHAMP.. He is a paper alphabet title holder... You really think Taylor gives 2 shits about a fing belt?

Taylor has been in the ring with

Hopkins 2X
Wright
Pavlik 2X
Lacy


Who the F has Fraud been in there with?? Jean Pascal LOL!! You funny man

Froch needs to fight someone for chrise sakes

Hopkins 2X (lost in my opinion)
Wright (a draw)
Pavlik 2X (lost ha ha)
Lacy (everyone on this site say lacy was always crap and well overated)

not a good choice from you

I saw those fights the same way, but it doesn't change the fact that he has at least been in the ring with real top level competition. Froch has made a big hype about how he would fight anyone, anywhere, how he would beat up Joe etc etc & this kinda shows that him & Hennessy were chattin shit. I do think he can beat Taylor tho

Froch hasnt demonstrated anything other than he is a heavier and poorer version of Darchinyan. A technical mess and 1 dimensional.

Taylor is younger, technically sound, experienced and more athletic as well as big fight experience

Lets see.
Froch last 5 opponents.
Tony Dodson, not ranked in top 50 168 fighters in the world and was previously KO'd by Pierre Moreno(who?) and Albert Rybacki.

Sergey Tatevosyan
35 yr old journeyman not ranked in top 50 and had just come off a loss to a guy with 3 fights.

Robin Reid, 37 yr old ex pornstar, who was not ranked in top 40 at time of fight. Got owned by Jeff Lacy and had only had 4 fights in 5 years.

Albert Rybacki, world ranking in the 200s whose greatest win was Tony Dodson, sound familiar? 80% of his previous opponents had losing records.

Then he gets a title shot and really STEPS IT UP v Pascal who similiar to Froch had never beaten a guy in the top 30 at 168 and similiar to Froch did not deserve a title shot. Froch beats Pascal who will never be top 10 by decision. Well done Carl.

And u criticise Taylors resume. Yeah good thinking. Fanboy.

[Violent Demise]

After watching him go life and death with a Canadian who is possibly a little bit short of world level ability it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Froch stay at home and fight an easy mandatory to make a bit of money. Henessy has a contract with ITV, it'd be no problem at all for him to get the fight on the telly and he's had months to make a TV deal for the fight on British TV anyway, so he's clearly bullshitting.

I'm sure i read ITV wont show anymore fights in the early hours.. which obviously Froch-Taylor would be from the states.

But.. I'd be surprised if Froch didn't have one or two "gimme" defences before stepping up.

Respect to him if he makes his first defence in the challengers backyard

How many more gimmes does he need? It's all he's had his whole career

froch is the champ fk taylor

He's a paper champion. He won a vacant title by beating a fringe contender. He never beat a champion for the title.

so he is the champ aint he!

Maybe of your heart. But in Boxing no he's not. Can't be a champ if you never beat one.

Darchinyan knocks people out in world title fights. Pound for pound people too.

As you and the majority of this site think he is SHIT - obviously lots.

[Pugilistic]

Carl Fraud is a paper champion.

I can't wait to see him exposed.

well said, he needs to stop moaning and fight a true champion, super mid or light heavy it makes no difference aslong as he can prove his words, he will become a true champ in time but he really needs to take fights that are on the table instead of chasing something that will not happen.

Darchinyan has big-time credentials. He has stepped in the ring with talented opposition. Give Vic a little credit.

- Sorry I saw you already apologized. Vic may be a prick, but he always steps to the plate.

To gain respect outside of those from Nottingham, Froch shouldn't fight "gimme's," he should fight the Bika's, Miranda's, and Green's of the world. Bika needs a fight and he would go to England. Beat Bika and my opinion on Froch would begin to change. Besides his unabashed arrogance, I don't dislike "the Cobra," but comparing him to Jermain "Bad Intentions" Taylor or any of the other top 68's is undeserved and diminishes their accomplishments.

To put it in perspective, Peter Manfredo has been in with much better competition than Froch (Calzahge, Bika, Mora Jr., Jeff Lacy). Froch should be able to get those kinds of fights if Manfredo can.

I agree and yea, sometimes I forget how well Vic rebounded after getting chinned. He certainly had the mental toughness to bounce back better than before.

Also good comparison to Manfredo, if Peetey can get some heavy hitters in the ring, than Froch should be able to do the same

[ClubberLang]

Well, the thing is Taylor is the mandatory. If DiBella wants to be hard-headed, he can make sure he wins the purse bid and then Froch's side has no choice but to take the fight on his terms or else be stripped of the title.

Of course, Froch could easily win the purse bid to fight Taylor too, right?

Oh you wanna go there







Froch's last 3 opponents

The record shows he beat Hopkins 2x regardless of what people think, and a draw with Wright isint to bad either. thats 36 rounds with 2 hall of famers.

Froch has 0 worldclass credentials, and has to prove himself. getting handed a title dosent make you world class, you still have prove yourself.

Look at Berto, same situation he is considered a champ, but he still has to prove he is worthy by fighting live contenders and bona fied threats like he did against Collazo.. Froch needs to man up and make this fight or he will be considered another coddled complainer and self proclaimed feared fighter

froch is world champion cos taylor didnt wanna fight him wanted to fight lacey instead
