Carl Froch Plans To Punish Jermain Taylor in April

[jvsnypes]

Who is this kid, Froch? He's talking alot of ****.I hope he backs it up or it will be an even longer flight back.

Froch will take taylor apart taylor is very poor now and taylor will not be able to match the power of froch.

HAHAHA at those who think taylor will ko froch, he hasnt been knocked down in his entire average and professional career with a shocking defence which im sure hes been working hard on lmao.

I'm fed up of listening to these so called American boxing fans who think they know everything about boxing. First is first Taylor was a Middleweight champion, yes middleweight champion moving up a weight to fight against a top class super middleweight who happens to be a world champion.

I know enough about boxing to know that Froch is a title holder, not a "world champion."

Taylor was the mandatory to fight froch for the initial title but bottled it at the time.

I also know that Taylor didn't "bottle it," he was under contract with HBO at the time and they would approve Froch as an opponent. If Taylor had signed to fight Froch at that time would've gotten a **** payday and not been on tv. Lose/lose.

Taylor has had one fight at this weight before against a fighter who has looked shot ever since Calzaghe destroyed him in 12 one sided rounds back in 2006 and only managed to labour to a points victory.

Labor to a points victory?

Did you even see the fight? It was completely one sided.

And you realize Calzaghe beat Lacy on points too, right? And that Lacy has never been stopped?

His claim to the undisputed crown at middleweight was down to shear luck because Hopkins was robbed on both occassions, both occassions.

Controversy does not a robbery make. Hopkins would've had to put forth a clear winning effort in either fight for them to be labeled robberies. He didn't. End of. Stop repeating **** your daddy told you.

**** payday & contracted to HBO, thats just a cover for the fact Taylor did not want to take the fight with Froch because he knew he could lose. On numerous occassions he pulled out of fighting opponents because the money was not right i.e. for a fight with Calzaghe he wanted $10m - knob and moved onto fighters who were not highly regarded.

Anyway how much money did he think he was going to get considering he been beaten twice by Pavilk and the fact he looked average before that he's just kidding himself. In the end he had to take the fight with Froch otherwise he would have looked like he was scared and no one else was ****** enough to make him mandatory challenger.

All i know is your blind to the situation because he comes from little rock and so do you so i suggest you open your eyes and reaalise he ain't as good as you think.

Ive never watched Taylor fight, and Ive only seen Froch fight Pascal (which was a great fight) but I think at this point Id put my money on Taylor purely from what Ive heard. I might change my tune after I look into it abit though.

Taylor has signed to fight Froch and there are still idiots who accuse him of being scared. Do you know how ****** you sound? And he never "pulled out of fighting" Calzaghe because there were never serious talks about it, just figures being thrown back and forth. "Pulling out" indicates some sort of agreement has been reached.

And LOL at him fighting guys who were not highly regarded; he's got one of the best resumes in the sport right now.

This coming from someone who called Froch the "world champion"?

You don't know anything about me or how good I think Taylor is. Read any number of my posts on here to see that I am a realist when it comes to Taylor's flaws... but ducking isn't one of them.

Who has Froch beat?

He won a vacant title over a man who has been a pro for only 4 years, he hit Froch with every thing he had. Early 2008 he fought a D-level figher who fought 4 crap fights in 6 years. This gave Froch his title shot.

2007 he fought a 36 year old Reid who had barly and ring time after getting KO'ed by Lacy. Sergey Tatevosyan, a russian middleweight journeyman fighter who had no chance.

2006-2004 he fought old washed up fighters not even close to top level opposition, while Taylor was fighting Marquez, Joppy, Hopkins, and Wright.

Taylor will be the bigger man in the ring the 25th

[karlpari]

As I said in the end he had to take the fight as he had no where else to go but if he had another route he would have taken it.

Simple man.

Taylor will be the bigger man in the ring the 25th

How so? They are more or less exactly the same height, and Froch is probably more settled in at Super Middleweight. Taylor only had one fight there (Pavlik rematch doesn't really count as it was at a 166lb catch-weight). Taylor has always been middleweight up until recently. Froch has always outweighed him, even in his early fights Froch was heavier.

I don't see how Taylor is bigger. He's not. He might just be slightly taller.

I hope Froch gets some success drumming up some interest for this fight. I've heard that the yanks a pretty much uninterested in this fight thereby unfortunately proving HBO correct when they wouldn't approve of Taylor fighting anyone else than Kessler or Winky.

I got Taylor by UD or late stoppage.
