    I don't think its gonna be Kessler even though Kessler said that he was negotiating with someone 1-2 weeks ago (it was when Kessler extended his contract with Sauerland).

    I think it could be Pavlik or Cleverly. My guess is Pavlik, and Kessler goes for Cleverly.

    Don't think Pavlik fancies fighting Froch.

    There really isn't much out there for Carl, Pavlik would be my guess.

    Not looking like Kessler. Even mainstream fans wanted to see it. Disappointed.

    I'm genuinely at a loss as to who it'll be.

    Bika isn't an opponent I'd choose for him, it's medium risk, practically 0 reward, with five defeats already, to Bute and Calzaghe among others.

    I don't think so. He's a late starter and needs to pack in as much as possible. No point going for a nothing fight. Save those until he's on the brink of retirement. Continue to fight the best whilst he's still close to his peak.

    I'm not privy to the availability of fighters, and I doubt you are either.

    Cleverly won't happen as Frank wants to protect his man. It will be Pavlik I'd imagine.
