Would be a ridiculous fight for Taylor given that he is mandatory for Froch's WBC title. The only fights in the division he can credibly avoid Froch for are Bute or Kessler imo.
they should fight there mandatorys first, forget about giving his new comers a crack becuase ward will soon enough earn his crack at the world title wen he deserves it
Taylor would crush the kid, But I give him prop's for wanting to step up. Ward is still in "Bones" territory I say by the end of '09 he is defo there.
Andre Ward has progressed so goddamn slow. He was 04 olympian, now its 09 and he's still a prospect. He shoulda had a belt, and been in his prime by now. Its really time for him and Andre Dirrell to step up. **** they might as well fight eachother.
Where does any of your argument hold water after the bold faced part? So he says he contacted him. Like that means ANYTHING? :huh
I've seen the kid fight live when Goosen did his promotion fight here in the Cayman Islands, the guy is quicker than he looks on TV, and has some pretty good skill but overall I dont think he is at Taylor's level yet and will loose if this fight happens. We do have to give him props for trying to step up to a big name like that with him having a young career, thats what fighters should be about... not protecting their records for 90% of their career.
