    With Wright facing Williams in March will he take the option of being Froch's mandatory? I know HBO couldn't give a ******'s about that fight but it's not like a fight with Bute appeals that much and Inkin is scheduled to defend his WBO early 09.

    Or will HBO make Kessler v Taylor happen?

    The Froch fight is good, would like to see them make it. If not then Kessler I guess, though I would prefer to see Jermain pass the Froch test before Kessler.

    He'll fight a rematch against Lacy, claiming that it pays better than fighting Froch or Kessler...

    You can always hope, but I don't think Taylor want to face Kessler

    Lots of options for JT right now. I think a figth with Bute is more appealing than a fight with froch. Bute is more accomplished at SMW already and that figth can be made in canada with a good fan draw and american support.

    Maybe just maybe he's out of options. Who knows, with three titles in Europe and the other in Canada, poor ickle Jermain may just have to get his passport out!

    If no-one stumps up for Taylor v Froch I doubt the money-men will for Bute and would it be good for his career to fight Miranda, a man who got beaten up by Pavlik who would then go on to defeat Taylor twice?

    For me it has to be Froch or Kessler. Miranda may be the bigger name to the networks but Froch or Kessler is obviously the more dangerous fight.

    I'd like to see JT fight Froch first for two reasons:

    1) another fight at 168 before facing the top guy is a good idea.

    2) Taylor/Kessler becomes a unification fight, easier to hype. turns into a boxing event instead of just a great fight that hardcore fans want.

    Im glad to see that Wright is out of the picture, and also forget about Miranda....Now let Bute, Froch, Kessler and Taylor get it on!
