    Would you wanna see this?

    I'm all about this ****.

    Taylor did plenty enough to merit another shot at this guy.

    Your thoughts?

    Taylor folded the entire last half of the fight, and for little good reason it seemed.

    If he doesn't get the rematch that will be fine with me.

    Froch deserves a payday maybe Calzaghe?
    But something tells me a certain B-Hop was watching this fight with alot of interest.

    But if that don't go thru, Taylor put up enough to defo merit a rematch.
    (Tho honestly if the tables were reversed I'm not so sure Jermaine rematches Froch)
    Just being real, Maybe Carl should just move on.

    Spot on. I had the same thought. I'm about 70% sure already we'll be getting Hopkins/Froch.

    The ending was bitter/sweet. Again, I love to see resiliency. This was a very rewarding night for a boxing fan like myself.

    I wouldn't mind seeing it, but after what happened, I doubt Taylor will ever beat Froch. He's suffered severe psychological damage from this one. He was never the strongest willed fighter, and I think even if he does well, too much self-doubt would prevent him from doing anywhere near as well as he did tonight.

    Why would Froch want that fight? He is almost guaranteed to lose and even if he wins Hopkins will make him look bad. Froch will make more money in a rematch with Taylor.

    He lacks stamina and focus, and when both start going, that's what seems to happen to him.

    It could very well turn into a win-win dealio for 'eem, that's for sure.

    If this happened and Hopkins pulled this off I'd be all about payin' mad respect to B-Hop...even more than I have, which is hard to believe.

    I think froch would fare far better in a rematch.

    Taylor cannot learn stamina but froch has learnt a lot about taylor I am sure from this fight.

    Maybe, but what's the point in Hopkins beating on Froch?

    There are only a few desirable fights for Hopkins right now:

    1. Calzaghe rematch (will never happen)

    2. Dawson (does not seem likely just now, but let's see what happens after the Tarver rematch)

    3. Adamek (not likely, and I do not blame Hopkins)

    4. A Jones rematch? (I never wanted to see it after RJJ looked awful against Calzaghe, and it looks unlikely with Jones-Lacy looming, but at this point, I actually wouldn't mind seeing it).

    5 Williams (if Hopkins can lure him up, there's some intrigue here)

    6. Trinidad rematch (Pointless, but if anyone deserves a payday, it's Hopkins)

    I really have no idea what he will wind up doing. It might just be best if he retires.

    I don't see a point in fighting Froch unless he uses it as a stay busy fight to set up a bout later this year against one of the aforementioned.
