    Telegraph.co.uk-

    HBO have offered:

    Kessler 3
    Ward 2
    Golovkin
    Chavez Jr

    I wouldn't mind any of them less Ward. I'd even like to see Chavez Jr get a beat down.

    I think Golovkin will win this poll.

    If I was Hearns, I'd pick Jr- easy work for Carl and probably the biggest payday.

    Let HBO build Golovkin up a bit more, Ward can't sell out his living room and Froch would probably lose.

    2nd choice Kessler- I feel Froch would win easier this time.

    Hmm. Interesting..

    I can't see Kessler 3 going differently, but there'd be some £s in it.

    If (big if) Ward would come to the UK, that's got to be the most significant fight. It's hard to see how Froch wins without a bit of the ol' home cooking tho. Maybe Ward's looking to silence his critics, and there'd be good $s for him in a UK fight.

    Chavez Jnr has to be ready to move up, but you'd think he'd want a tune up at 168 first. I struggle to see him competitive against the higher weights, but you never know.

    Golovkin would be a fight I'd like to see, the rising tide against the granite cliffs, but would be better in a year or two. I think the focus right now should be on cleaning out 160 for GGG . Still, HBO pays the bills.....

    I'd go for Chavez. Fun fight with Junior getting KOed into the bargain.

    Mikkel Kessler III - making this fight is pretty doable. The attraction is possible medium, but hey.

    Andre Ward II - also doable. But who wants to see it? There was nothing in the first fight that indicated Froch could win a rematch.

    Gennady Golovkin - not likely to happen until 2015. Golovkin first need to clean out the middleweight division and then have a tune-up at 168. BUT WHAT A FIGHT !!!!!

    Julio Cesar Chavez Jr - no. Junior's handlers will never allow it. Froch could so totally beat the crap out of Junior that his whole "career" (+ the cashflow) goes down the drain. Forget it. If Junior fights at 168, it will be against 160-pounders that move up with him. I smell Peter Quillin-Chavez Jr.

    I'd like the Cobra to fight GG, but most lkely they would pick JCC Jr because it's the easiest fight out of the 4

    Pretty obvious it will be Kessler III.
