    To be fair, it makes a change for a British fighter with a padded record not to be under the Sports Network banner :rofl

    I think Audley and Froch should have a beer together, it would be an interesting conversation.

    WOW!!!!:shock: :shock: :shock:

    What a meeting of minds that would be; The P-4-P no.1 of all time talking to the no.2. Imagine the ring knowledge they could impart, the stories they could tell regarding their titanic tussles with other legends, and their tales of all the glitz and glamour associated with being the biggest sportstars in the world. They should put it on PPV...........I'd pay.

    Saw BBC news this morning; In an exclusive interview Froch said he was going to refuse the draft for Iraq, stating "I ain't got no beef with those Muslim fundamentalists."

    Haha what did poor Froch do to deserve this, at least parody the recent uprise of the Pavlik bandwagon after beating the great Locket.

    In all seriousness, the only crime committed in our area is terrorism.

    No car thefts, no burglaries, just bloody bomb making!

    Everybody is ducking Froch, maybe he should fight Mundine as he has the same problem.

    But come to think about it, that will take some ball's from both, so maybe not.

    Those were the same bombs that, according to Enzo Calzaghe, made David Haye achieve a lucky KO against Enzo Maccarinelli!

    Now - this is a thought. Imagine how deluded Froch would be if he had Enzo Calzaghe in his corner.

    We have already heard Gavin Rees stating that Ricky Hatton 'needs to earn his shot at ME' during his WBA reign, and 'I think I would stop him anyway' - whilst clearly not realising:

    1. That Hatton is the third biggest payday for anyone (after PBF & DLH), and for the sake of being outclassed for a few rounds, it may be worth it for him.
    2. He was a walking KO for any genuine 140lb contender
    3. He is basically a domestic 130lb fighter with a world 140lb belt!

    Bearing in mind Frochy is a lot louder than Rees (not allowed to **** without asking Frank Warren), it would be interesting to note what Carl would be like

    I don't think Froch deserves a shot at Taylor - if he wins, he gets instant recognition and fame, which he doesn't deserve more than some other fighters who have done more (e.g. Kessler or even Bute); Froch does however deserve a shot at a belt. What would be wrong is if he was just handed the belt over in a meaningless fight. So...with this in mind, I'd rather he was tested by someone good, like Taylor. So, yeah, I'm in favour of this fight because Froch would deserve the belt if he won.
