Taylor might turn down Froch for bout with Lacy

I agree with you, but there are Duck lovers on here :-(

 

Exactly, LAcy is a bigger name than Froch right now.

 

He should fight both. He should get the WBC strap first by fighting Froch, then get a fight with Lacy for more money.

 

I totally agree. Though there might be some other reason for quite a few fighters that don't watch alot of matches.

There aren't many that plays or fights for the fans at elite level - they may appreciate the fans being there - but they only play or fight for their own ego. As would you and I. Some may even have some contempt for fans. Makes me think about the movie, The Fan.

 

Lacy and Froch are equally bad.

 

Only the Lacy camp would accuse him of ducking Lacy. Froch is the dangerous option.

 

:good

He doesn't have time to watch it when he's living it......

 

I don't know much about Froch, but it seems to me that a fight with him makes more sense because a victory means a belt at 168. A win over Lacy doesn't do anything. Lacy looked shot against Manfredo.

 

Froch needs to stay the **** away from the top tier fighters until he proves he can beat somebody like Andrade or Zuniga. The distance between that 37 year old polish guy and Jermain Taylor is a bridge to far; way to far!

 

I guess Jermain gets the say in the end but promoters and managers play a big part in who their fighters so I think Jermain will fight whoever he is asked to fight. I didn't like him much before the Pavlik fights but he showed a lot to me in defeat and giving Pavlik his credit instead of crying about the decision. I think he beats either one but I think a fight with Froch would do more in the eyes of hardcore fans but casual fans may be wandering who that is and why Taylor is fighting this no-name instead of a name opponent like Lacy. Taylor will catch **** either way and there isn't anything he can do about it. I just hope he gets back in the ring and looks like he did against Pavlik because he will be a hard man to beat.

 

mmm.. that makes as much sense as: wlad's entertainement value = Arturo Gatti's entertainement value.

Wait that might be too much. But still.

 

just a thought if taylor does fight lacy, would froch still get a shot at the wbc and if so who vs?? (or would lacy vs taylor be for the belt?) cheers in advance

 

good post.

thats the whole mystery about froch... why doesn't he fight a top 10 smw??? he seems to run away each time, why doesn't he shoot his mouth and call out kessler????

 

They offered it Kessler when inkin pulled out first time in March, for a May showdown.

Everyone knows that, but he opted for WBA route against Mundine (who later gave up the title).

Then again Kessler didnt want beating by yet another consecutive brit.
