I just read that Dibella says if Pascal beats Froch, Taylor/Pascal in Ontario, Canada is a smart fight to make. He also said that Froch isn't a big enough name to make money in the USA, and he won't let JT go to Great Britian.

Froch is completely unkown in the US. He is completely untested. He gets a lot of hype on the internet, but the guy isn't ready to run with the big dogs, so he best just stay on the porch with the pups.

Taylor needs Kessler not Froch, but I think JT should fight one more fight at 168 before he tries mikkel on for size.

Why the hell would Taylor-Pascal happen in Ontario? :rofl

If Taylor-Pascal happens and if it takes place in Canada. It will be in Montreal.

Buddy, You give wayy to much credit to Froch and not enough to Pascal. Both are fairly untested. Although Pascal has to fight the biaised euro judges, i wouldn't be so confident.

Dosen't matter anyway, Taylor beats Pascal or Froch.

If pascal wins, im pretty sure Pascal will fill up 20 000seats like Bute-Andrade, especially against a guy like Jermain Taylor.

Ok, so we'll gloss over the fact that what is happening is exactly what I said would happen - Taylor wouldn't take the fight if Froch won the title, absolutely wouldn't risk going to the UK and would cite there 'not being enough money in the fight' as the reason - and that you and other posters kept telling me I was wrong.

Answer me this: if Froch beating Pascal won't make him a legitimate opponent for Taylor, what the hell would Pascal have done (including beating Froch) that would make him a legitimate opponent if he should win. Or do you disagree with Dibella on this? Will you criticise Taylor if that happens.

If Froch wouldn't merit a fight with Taylor as an unbeaten title holder, who would? The likes of Inkin, Dirrell, Green, Ward, Andrade clearly have lesser claims. I think most would agree Kessler and Bute would be more proven opponents. But if Taylor can't fight Kessler or Bute, what other fighters at SMW would 'merit' a fight with Taylor more than Froch?

Actually you have some pretty good points here. Pascal is no more legit than Froch. Pesronally I will be quite surprised if Pascal wins. I'm expecting a Froch TKO. However, Froch keeps calling out people like Calzaghe, Pavlik, Taylor, et. If he wants those kind of opponents he needs to start doing some things on American television.

I think Taylor will fight anybody IF the money is right. Pavlik had trouble getting a shot too. He beat McKart, Zertuche, and Miranda all on american television, and got his shot. Froch needs to do something similar.
