    Getting bored of the politics of boxing.

    Ever since 2007, it's been downhill.

    Taylor is one loss away from his career.

    They aint fighting Froch yet he has more money to make before taking a risk.

    So you're saying Taylor "knows" hes going to lose this fight?

    Just like he "knew" he was going to lose against Kelly Pavlik the second time around?

    GTFO of here, you ****ing bum.. he's an elite, top tier fighter of the world, he's not scared of anybody. If you ever been competing even as a regional level fighter, you should know this.

    You don't know ****, crawl back to the hole you came from, bum.

    what's different now, is it greed? more red tape? too many cooks in the kitchen? a dying sport trying to survive? what's your opinion?

    taylor should have told the WBC that he wants to be dropped from there rankings .

    then that would be an end to it .


    it is obvious from the comments taylor made about calzaghe after the lacy fight that taylor will never ever fight outside of america.

    taylor is not afraid of froch the boxer, but he wll never leave homecooking.

    Take off your rise tinted glasses. Why does he keep delaying this fight then? This is for a world championship!!!!

    If Taylor doesn't fight Froch next, this will indicate he is afraid. He has already turned the fight down to fight Lacy, wtf!!

    No -- it's not for a world championship. It's for a title that Froch won by fighting a 2nd tier prospect. Kessler is the most widley recognized #1 at 168.

    If you honestly believe that the man who fought Hopkins X 2, fought winky and offered him a rematch afterward, and fought Pavlik X 2 is "afraid" of Froch, you have little of no sense of who's who in boxing. Hopkins would embarrass Froch, Pavlik would leave him in a heap on the canvass, and Taylor would win a VERY clear UD.

    Taylor is scared and knows that he will get knocked out.

    ...or maybe due to many people's low opinion of Froch (yourself clearly included), losing to him would be career ruining.

    Maybe his opinion of Froch is closer to mine, than yours.

    Geez. Who is that poster that keeps saying the WBC wants Taylor to have this belt? He is starting to look like he might be right for once in his life. :yep

    This really isn't hard folks. Jermain brings the WBC a lot more in fees than Froch would. You think they are happy with a windmill like Froch having their belt? :rofl

    The only thing JT fears from Froch is the tiny purse. Did you see Froch's last fight? Did you see Taylor's? Maybe in "Don Quixote" the windmill wins, but not in boxing. The guy with the lance has the advantage.
