    Froch is due a good stylistic match up because Dirrell, Ward, Kessler, Taylor, Pascal etc were all very hard stylistic match ups.

    I think if Kelly Pavlik can get another okay win then thats a good fight. Former lineal champ coming off of 2 wins at 168. Kelly will come to fight and he'll come to Froch and let Froch go to work on him. I think it'll be a good looking fight for the UK fans.

    I look at the 168 rankings and Froch has either fought them, negotiations have fallen through or the opponent is **** and uninspiring.

    I think he should look to entice a name with some clout. Maybe even get someone like Pirog to come up from 160. He hasn't got a huge amount of credibile options.

    That's a joke fight if that happens. Froch deserves a slightly softer touch afte the run he's had but not a complete waste of time.

    There's no way Pavlik would travel to Nottingham to fight Froch unless it was for a huge amount of money. Andrade would be more realistic and would probably be willing to travel and fight for less.

    I would have been happy with Magee, but he's fighting over in Denmark again.

    What about Bika? That could be fun!

    Decent fighter from Uruguay 28-1. a fighter that will travel. The WBC silver champion. Most notable fight losing a decision in a WBA world title fight to felix sturm

    Well if you'll bring a not so knows south-american name I would pick the Argentinian prospect Ezequiel Maderna.

    I'd say Bika, can't see Pavlik coming over tbh, I would love to see him give Degale a beating though.
     
  14. I don't think Cleverly would take the risk personally.

    There's little way he can actually win the fight.... he's not going to outbox Froch in a million years, and he'd be hit hard when he tries to apply pressure.
