| Froch should fight Jermain Taylor next who I believe is the mandatory fighter to his title anyway after his unanimous win over Lacy in November.

| Taylor's definitely the mandatory, but Froch's camp reckon he won't want to come over here and will go for one of the other titles instead.

That would be dissapointing as it would be a great fight. Froch needs to begin building his reputation up within the boxing world (particularly in America where his next fight has to be) and prove he is the #1 to face Calazage, to do that he has to beat Taylor, Kessler and possibly Bute which would take around 18 months and unfortunatly I doubt Joe will be around by then.

I'm not convinced the Pac-Man and Pretty Boy Floyd are as good as Froch thinks he is!

Taylor will duck Froch again IMO and fight Bute IMO. It really pishes me off that the majority of the American fighters never fight seem to fight out of America.

Well said, I was more than impressed with Froch on Saturday but there are still many vital flaws in his approach which a top fighter such as Calzaghe would rip into. It would be a big mistake jumping into the ring with Joe now as his career on the big stage could be over before it has even begun. His promoter doesnt seem to be helping him either by keeping Froch's feet firmly on the ground as he to seems to be getting carried away.

No matter who Froch fights next, it has to be in America whether it be Taylor or Kessler. If Taylor ducks Froch and goes on to have a title fight with Bute, it would leave Froch to fight Kessler. If they both won, it would leave Taylor with no option but to agree to a "super fight" vs Froch in MSG's.

Given how long it took Calzaghe to get around to fighting outside the UK, I'm not sure British fight fans have much grounds for complaint tbh.

Well. I suppose the fact that non of the big names in America wanted to fight him didn't help.

I dont agree with that, I would have said it was the other way round, IMO of course.

Well Calzaghe offered to fight RJJ about 7 or 8 years ago but Jones refused.

Froch has offered money to fight Calzaghe but it seems as though he has turned it down, maybe Calzaghe thinks he has bigger fish to catch. I would imagine RJJ felt the same way and he was right.
If both fighters had come up against each other in their prime, Jones would win 9 times out of 10.
