    For the fact he is going to the states and taking the toughest challenge in his division wether you rate him or not?

    Sure. He is doing what Calzaghe never did such early in his career vs a very dangerous opponnent in Taylor.

    No, but the fact that you are pushing this guy tells me you live in a perpetual knicker wetting fantasy about this mummies percieved ability, lets see him prove that ****. There are plenty of monsters between 168-175.

    No he gets no respect why should he whats he done?

    Because Froch is 30plus.
    Anyway, yeah I respect Froch. He's not even afraid of people who'd kick his ass. How can you knock him 4 that?

    The question was does he get your repsect for going to the states.Either you misunderstood or you are ingnorant it wasn't about accomplishments or anything

    100% yes he gets respect from me and should from everybody...going after the #1 contender straight away and going to the states to try and prove himself

    What he is doing is not padding his record with nobodies and staying at home making easy defences for easy money he is fighting the best if not one of the best in his division say what you want about Taylor he beat Hopkins and might have beat Winky 2 sure fire HOFs. Boxing needs more fighters like that going out of there comfort zone and taking on the best.

    YEs... Whether he fought in the states or not, he proved himself in the Pascal fight and is now coming to America for Taylor.. What else does he have to do to gain respect..

    He could still afford an easier defence or two in his hometown before pursuing the bigger names in fairness but you're right he probably only has a couple of years at the top if he continues to win that is

    This is the definition of Hater. We're talking about balls here, not ability.

    He definitely gets respect, but calling Taylor THE toughest challenge in the division is stretching it a bit, IMO Kessler and maybe Bute would be tougher for sure. Taylor is a fine fighter, but not proven at 168 yet.

    lol, come on, hes past his best and does this mean every body who took Taylor on during his best days had "balls" , or any other boxer who ever fought a decent fighter for that matter?

    as a boxer, you are expected to get in the ring with other boxers...:bbb

    there are plenty of journeymen out there who would fight Taylor for a weeks minimum wage pay in 2 hours notice.

    Perhaps i might be stretching but i think Taylor has more then held his own against much better opposition then Kessler or Bute have met.
