    nah, Taylor aint going to do that

    He could of took more money and less of a beating to fight Calzaghe instead of Pavlik.

    Taylor has heart and pride he will fight Froch.

    I think a fight with Lacy will be better than a fight with Froch.

    Jermain might rate Lacy higher than Froch, fellers! He might take Lacy thinking he's fighting the harder fight, belt or no belt.

    Jeff Lacy should seriously start getting his ass back in the ring more often cause he looked really crap against Manfredo !

    If Taylor goes for Lacy, then that simply means the money for him is much more important than a belt...

    He should fight Froch instead and pick up that WBC title.. Then he can look for a fight with Lacy which I think would be a good fight, but a win for Taylor.. I do hope Taylor bounces back after those losses against Pavlik..

    You would have to be a ****** to rate Lacy higher than Froch at this point in their careers. I hope Taylor wakes up to that fact.

    Lacy is a boring ass fighter now.

    It's just posturing. Taylor could easily win a belt, THEN fight Lacy. I wouldn't give either Froch or Lacy better than a 15% chance of beating Taylor anyway.

    Is that excuses for him? Because if he cannot see Froch is a better fighter than Lacy he should get his head checked straight away.
    If this fight happens I think Froch will win by KO in the middle rounds.

    Why is Taylor now getting a title shot? He has had one fight at super-middle - AND HE LOST!!!!

    I think Lacy is basically shot.If Manfredo pressed a bit more he could have come away with the decision, that shows you how much Lacy has slipped.I'm afraid Calzaghe ruined him.

    Froch is nothing special but would give Taylor a much sterner test than Lacy

    If he wants that vacant WBC strap, he'll have to fight Froch...simple as that.

    Bah! Typical, you don't see Froch running. Seriously WHO rates Lacy over Froch+a belt????
