Why does he even need an easy fight when the Bute fight seemed to be the easiest night of his whole ****ing carreer. :yep /Troll mode off.

Anyone who knows anything about Froch knows it's an absolute fact that Froch is one of the most natural super middles ever(weight-wise) and he's one of the few elite fighters who are bang on their weight and come into camp not needing to worry about getting the pounds off in a panic.He's hardly ever more than around 12 and a half stone going into camp. With all due respect,you're letting yourself down badly there mate.That's basic stuff. If he moves up it'll only be because there's an irresistable purse on offer.He's perfectly suited to 168 so why take a chance?
It was rumored that he might be a possibility to fight Carl Froch, the IBF super middleweight champ. I asked Poulard's promoter, Eye of the Tiger, about Poulard-Froch. "We will refuse the Carl Froch offer because it is impossible for Nicholson to make 168 pounds," a spokesman said. "We will continue the negociations with Shumenov for a WBA title shot at 175 pounds." [url]http://www.thesweetscience.com/news/articles/15115-poulard-stops-sjomkin-on-boxing-channel-card[/url]
Light heavyweight, which is where he actually competes. Where else? He isn't a super middleweight, and hasn't fought there for years. He would have had to drain down to fight Froch (who's more dangerous than Shumenov anyway). It makes far more sense to take the shot at Shumenov, both for Poulard on a personal level since it's a relatively easier - or at least more vaguely realistic - assignment ...and for the divisional picture because Poulard is actually rated the WBA #6 contender for Shumenov's title whereas he isn't ranked at super middle at all, let alone in the IBF top ten to justify challenging Froch.
