    Nope. He was the winner of their first fight, almost got screwed with two 115-113 scorecards in New Jersey. The Ring champion who already has a win over you shouldn't have to travel to your home country to get, at best, a split decision loss, if he absolutely whoops Froch.

    Eddie Hearn will not be making the call because Ward will destroy Frich in a rematch.

    But why should Froch do it? He would lose all the momentum he has going right now. He should fight Hopkins. At least he would have a puncher's chance. Against Ward, he has no chance.

    He's not gonna fight Hopkins, that's so stupid. He would gain nothing by beating him, not even much money. He will fight Ward or Kessler, again.

    Ward fought Froch 3,000 miles from Oakland already.

    Ward's too street savvy. There's not enough bread in Britain to entice him.

    I'm thinking it might be slightly different front of 20,000 crazy English people, than in New Jersey.

    Intell someone beats him Ward is the man at 168. He has the right to set terms.
    Personaly I'd rather see the fight take place in Las Vegas rather than the Bay Area. However Ward is under no obulgation to fight in his oppoents backyard.

    There was more English people in the crowd that night than Americans.

    Anyway, I get the feeling that Hearns isnt touching that phone anytime soon.

    Ward has to travel at some point all other top guys @ 168 are from europe
    Kessler brought his belt to Okland, Froch brought his belt to atlantic city.

    If Ward doesn't want to fight in the UK Froch shouldn't fight him.

    There are plenty of good options for Froch: third Kessler fight, Hopkins,
    Dawson-Stevenson winner, Cleverly, Tony Bellew, Oosthuizen- Gonzales winner , Groves, Stieglitz, James DeGale

    Hopkins would love the opportunity to step up to the plate, Ward would be an idiot to not try make this fight.

    Ward said hes willing to make the fight but Hearnds needs to pick up that phone.

    Is Froch happy with being No.2 in the division?

    Is Froch content with having an unavenged defeat on his record??

    Froch should be hounding Hearns to pick up that phone and do everything possible to make the fight with Ward
