I heard that somewhere before the Pascal fight that the winner had to face to mandatory, Taylor and then Murat. I thought Taylor was the hard part and that ether Froch or Pascal or Taylor would make easy work of Murat but it will slow down the unification of the division.
Taylor was Froch's mandatory. I'm pretty sure (no confirmation, just gut) that Froch will not have to do 2 mandatories in a row. Murat's high seeding with the WBC is disconcerting, but Froch should have some flexibility with his next fight. How he plans to use it will be interesting. With Bute/Andrade rematch likely and Kessler in constant limbo, who knows? Maybe he elects to take the safer mandatory first and see how the rest sorts out. But I think that will be his choice.
Normally he would have to face 2 WBC mandos after winning a vacant belt. Taylor is one.Nurat another prolly.
