I am so Eager to see what froch has to offer against fighters like Taylor. i feel he deffinately deserves his shot to prove himself and wish him all the best. Froch UD (with a knockdown)
would be a very interesting fight. although i'm english and therefore want froch to do well the jurys still out for me . taylor on points.
This would be a real 50-50 encounter - Taylor isn't all that, and has lost five of his last six fights (IMO) and would struggle with the unorthodoxy of Froch.
Its about time Froch did something top flight, otherwise he would have stayed on as East Midlands SMW Champion forever.
Thats a real classic.atsch Jermain will school this overrated chump. Should get a TKO, mid rounds. Fighting bums all your life is NOT preparation for Jermain Taylor. Good way for taylor to get back on track though, WBC champ at 168, could WELL set up a Kessler fight down the line....
If Carl Froch fights Jermain Taylor for the WBC title, this would be very good news for the supermiddleweight division. The winner would join Mikkel Kessler and Lucian Bute in the mix as a serious contender and should be half of the equation for some big fights in the near future. Hopefully Jermain Taylor will win. Given his already high profile, the division would benefit more from him winning than from Carl Froch winning.
It would be great to have Taylor in the mix at SM, Would Taylor go after Kessler or Andrade/Bute first? Andrade - Taylor could be big in the US?
If this is indeed true, Froch better win otherwise he would look seriously daft! As for whether it will appear on the JC/RJJ card - I would be very surprised. Mick Hennessy doesn't allow his fighters to appear on bills promoted by others, and I would doubt Calzaghe would sanction it either, bearing in mind Frochy has been slagging him off for the past four years.
Froch vs Taylor is an excellent fight. I pick Tayor to stop or Ud froch. I think Taylor vs Kessler would also be a good fight. Again I pick Tayor to beat Kessler..if the fight is in the US.
