    No Gamboa by a landslide, then Berto, then Froch

    His hype by a lot of the Brits defies belief. The guy has not done anything at all.

    He looks good but I will reserve judgment.

    He hasn't been in with one world class operator yet.

    People may be overstating his greatness but Froch is none the less a fantastic boxer who will beat Pascal & go on to better things.

    Taylor's manager went on record with Steve Bunce as saying he doesn't want Taylor in the same ring as Froch.
    Froch's a great fighter I can tell that just by watching him, he's a raw fighter who's crude but effective and though he will probably lose a few fights his grit & ferocity will see him through most fights victorious.

    I saw an interview once where it was said he was underappreciated in the UK and should move to the states where his style would be better appreciated & going by the lack of faith most brits have in him I'd say he probably should. No point boxing for a country that doesn't respect you.

    If you could get a fight with Calzaghe or a fight with Froch, which would you choose?

    For more money and a mandatory spot to face off against Froch later.

    In other words....He got to have his cakee and eat it too.

    Calzaghe obviously (As much as I hate him) but Taylor passed that up long ago. Besides, if Froch get's past Pascal Taylor & him are on a collision course but even then I'd question whether Taylor will take that fight.

    Because as we know...a guy with two fights with Hopkins, one with Winky Wright and two clashes with Pavlik is a natural ducker.

    Seriously what the **** is wrong with people these days?

    Yep -- JT is going to duck "who the **** is Froch" so he can go after Calzaghe.

    Makes perfect sense to me:patsch

    Put this in your bong and smoke it, and then quit makin' **** up.

    Taylor's manager said it what do you want me to do? Get him to offer a retraction?
