    This has been on and off since forever. Don't hold your breath until you see them touching gloves. Fruit-Pastille will probably pull out with "injury", and Froch will claim earth is ducking him.

    Yep I heard it was for the WBC too as they wanted Froch Taylor but Taylor went where the money is (Lacy). Could be wrong though. Also its due to be in Nottingham yeah?

    This is for the vacant title

    Not sure whether Taylor genuinely ducked Frochy or simply fancied a nice easy pay day against Lacy before moving onto Froch later.......

    Yeah, you can understand in a way he's at the tail end of his career your gonna want the bigger paydays and plus Lacy is still a big draw in the US

    It will be Froch -vs- Pascal for the vacant WBC title.

    The Taylor-Lacy fight is a title eliminator. The winner of that fight will become the mandatory challenger for the winner of Froch-Pascal.

    The date for the Froch-Pascal is still not confirmed.

    Jermaine Taylor has always maintained "I'll fight who brings the most money" and Froch just wants a big name to fight, It would be right for him and Pascal to fight for the vacant WBC strap. Let's face it, does Jeff Lacy deserve to compete for it at this moment in time?

    Pascal is a real good opponent for Froch, if he comes through that then there is no excuse for ducking Froch from any of the big names.

    i think people duck froch because hes dangerous yet not a big name, who wants to be beaten by someone whos better yet no1s heard of him.

    Yeah, I remember when Pavlik was served up as a bit of fodder for Edison Miranda!!!

    (I ain't a big Pavlik fan BTW)

    Now people are accusing Kessler of ducking Miranda, despite the fact that he has been destroyed by Pavlik and twice by Abraham :patsch
