    Poll above. Froch has said he won't go to 175lbs only catchweight so havent given that option.

    Ward rematch, just to see if the outcome could be different, doubtful though

    Then I'd retire

    Given that he's fought everybody worth fighting in the division Eddie should look to do something creative with Froch, providing he wants it. I.E. another world title in another weight class. Or have a big name step up from 160.

    What about Sergio Martinez at 168, Cleverly at 175, Chavez Jr at 168, or George Groves.

    I like Froch a lot but he's not overly entertaining, so to maximise revenue they should look for an angle that doesn't necessarily focus on Froch and Froch only, I thought the PR job on Kessler 2 was good, a little over kill but it was well presented, like I said I find his fights can be dull in large parts.

    Overall I like Cleverly (175) as option 1 and Groves as option 2, outside of that there is Ward, frankly I do not want to see him fight Ward again.

    George Groves.

    Ok, the kid hasn't really been tested yet but he's had an excellent apprenticeship and its a win that could look better as the years go on.

    He's undefeated so taking his '0' would look good and it'd do Froch's legacy a lot of good if George goes on to do well in the future. It'd be a big domestic fight over here, would be exciting to watch and Carl would probably win on style, plus it's an easy sell due to all the recent goings on.

    Makes perfect sense IMO. Carl has earnt the right to fight whoever he wants.

    I like chavez at 168. That would be great to watch froch take him apart. Can see groves happening in around a years time after he picks up a belt if he can obviously.

    JCC Jnr would be a great fan friendly fight. The casuals would love it.

    I'd look to make that fight in America, and then maybe go after Ward. I'd rather not see the Ward fight, but I imagine Carl will want it

    I would like to see him destroy that scumbag Stevenson at catch or SMW but Dawson should beat Froch to it.

    Froch fights are dull when he fights slick black dudes. Keep him away from the Brothers are it will be exciting.

    Highly doubt Chavez Jr to be fair, Im sure he'll be put in line for the Bika-Periban winner.

    Yeah, unfortunately it won't happen as much as I'd like to see it. Eddie would do well to get that fight.
    Froch- chavez
    Frampton- rigo
