    The Pascal rematch would be interesting (even tho Pascal doesnt have a title anymore).

    How about Bad Chad at Light Heavy?

    I've left off Kessler and Stieglitz, seen as they're due to meet later this year, Ward and Bute obviously.

    Not sure there'd be much interest in Sad Chad or Hopkins, so left them off too.

    Andre Dirrell has said he doesn't want Froch again.

    Dirrell doesn't want to take another career shortnening beating from Froch.

    its not an inspiring list is it? don't really have a preference.

    off that list, probably Pascal.

    overall, i'd prefer to see him stay at 168 and fight a slightly lower ranked fighter such as Andrade or Mendy.

    Pascal II & then Kessler II late summer :bbb

    I wouldnt complain if he fought someone like Weber, its not in Froch's nature to go for "easy" fights but he's had a punishing schedule over the last 2-3 years & if anyone deserves a soft opponent its Froch.

    Shame he's not still unbeaten. If he was, a run against Andrade and Mendy could probably propel him to becoming world #1.

    Kessler in August.

    If he wants a tune up in April time, I think it's deserved. (As is a 'homecoming' in this instance.)

    But if he wants a rest, that may be the right option too.

    Pavlik makes the most sense. I think Froch is in effective at 175

    Do you think Pavlik will ever fight at that level again?

    Froch is the one guy who actually deserves a 'homecoming'. So they should book a date at the Nottingham Arena and go from there. Froch in with Bika or Andrade would be a good scrap that you would expect him to come through, after that he could look towards bigger fights and titles again.

    I'd like to see Froch in with Bute and Kessler again before moving up to 175 next year.

    Shumenov. I think it would be a great scrap and in England.

    I'd love to see Froch beat up on Cleverly. Andrade would be an entertaining fight.

    I doubt Eddie wants Carl in with the Welsh Superstar but I would love to see it.
