    I didn't mean you said that. I was qustioning HBO: do they think Froch-Taylor is a mismatch? I hope not. Like yourself, I think it's a very good match.

    From the rumours I have heard HBO thinks that Taylor-Froch is a good fight. The thing is that they think Kessler-Taylor is a much better fight in that Kessler is universally recognized as the man to beat and more known by an American audience than Froch.

    However, Taylor is very reluctant to get into the ring with Kessler no matter how much pressure HBO tries to put on him to do so. Taylor would rather fight Froch. This is the reason why they told him that they would not show it.

    Cause everyone has gave up on JT & no one really knows who Froch is. Lacy vs JT sold nothing.

    I'm not sure, but I want to see it. I really can't understand why Taylor is being left out to dry by so many people. I think that we all knew that he had flaws before he lost. The man is fun to watch, and I am still interested in seeing how his career pans out. Fight Froch is a very good fight... I'll be watching.

    I think Taylor will win a decision if this goes down. If Froch actually boxes and uses his size advantages, he could possibly stop Taylor late....but he never uses his head and Taylor will find it easy to tag him.

    And Taylor is right!! He should fight Froch first, and the boys at HBO are even more ******ed than I thought if they can't see that. He needs 1 more fight at 168 before taking on Kessler, and Froch is the perfect guy. Jermain would whip Froch's ass and look good doing it. And then Kessler/Taylor would become a huge unification fight between the two very best in the division. It aint rocket science!!!

    That's what fightnews said like a week ago but it looks like the WBC is having a bunch of purse bids on friday so it might be moved to the 9th instead!? :huh
