    Bouncey's cool: let Abraham fight anyone on the same card as Pavlik in late 2009 - why not Bernard Hopkins... :rofl

    No. He was weary of offending di Bella by making him look like an idiot. Bunce likes to suck up to the movers and shakers as long as they are still on top.

    ...disappointing...I expected Froch to talk about Taylor, not past him, looking to get Calzaghe...:huh...in any case, nothing of interest was said, sadly. In fact, the only good thing about the show was the female boxer, who gave a very good account of herself and of female boxing in general. Good luck to her!

    And after he beats Taylor it's Abraham...I talked this up for a long time as a back up plan for Abraham (started just before Froch fought Pascal) and still think that this would be a good, even matched fight.

    But let's see how Froch is doing vs. Taylor (obviously, AA also has to beat Simon)...

    You think? I can't see it, personally. I don't remember you talkint it up either, to be honest...must have missed it.

    I think AA will stick around for a little bit longer trying to get hold of Pavlik. If Froch beats Taylor, he'll do an easy defence or two back home before looking to unify, I think. The money for a fight against AA would tempt him though, that's for sure...you may be right after all...Tom.:good

    Froch seemed very subdued today, like his heart wasn't in it. Very strange and unlike him.

    Found the show very annoying today for some reason. Not sure whether it was the pointless emails, Buncey waffling on or Buncey taking an age to say something.

    Maybe it was just me ;)

    yeh i was really disapointed that they just talked about Calzaghe. They did the skit with the swear box, and then just ended up talking about him. they should of ignored the emails. Calzaghe has gone. I wanted to hear Carl talking about Taylor, Bute, Kessler in detail, we instead we got a few comments.

    One of Abraham's promoters was on the show recently talking about how difficult AA finds it to get down to Middleweight.
    If he can't get Pavlik into the ring this year, I'd say it's a certainty he'll move up.
    Given that Pavlik has signed to fight Mora and can probably make more money fighting Duddy after that, I think it's more likely we'll see Froch-Abraham happen.
    I'd actually love to see this fight if Froch pulls the upset against Taylor - I think their styles match up really well and we'd be guaranteed a FOTY contender.

    Bit out of order of Froch putting Buncey on the spot with that awkward question at the end and then putting the evil eyes on Buncey when he was waiting for the answer.
