Yeah - remember that this isn't going to be a defining fight. magee II would be ok. I really like the Andrade fight - even though most, if not all of his lustre is gone. Pavlik would be ok. Whats Anthony Dirrell like? would it be similar to the fight with his brother or is he less of a dick?
Pavlik would be a great choice, he's a name, it would be a good fight and would keep Frochs name at the top ready for a Kessler/Bute fight later in the year. I'm not sure how keen Pavlik would be to travel over here but I'm sure he could be persuaded by the infamous nightlife over here.
Backward step but i'd back Degale to beat Froch. He,s had 7 wars in the last 3 years. At some point that kind of thing takes it's toll and Degale or Groves have the tools and are hungry enough to take advantage even if Froch has dropped off 5%
