    Ever since the Froch bout his career has just gone downwards, long periods of inactivity and fighting on obscure networks...what has happened to him, he has so much potential but his love for the game has gone...has he retired and is he even looking to fight a top Super Middleweight any time soon?

    I have no idea what his immediate plans are, but I also wonder what happened to his drive. In fairness, his turn on the world stage isn't exactly a catalogue of happy memories: he had that stinker of a fight against Froch and no doubt felt he got hosed on the decision; and then, just as he was turning in a career-best performance against Abraham, he was fouled and KO'd in front of his hometown fans. Not that I'm a psychologist, but I always thought he seemed a bit immature-maybe he just doesn't have the heart to step up again.

    Last I heard he was trying to stay busy and get back in the mix of things... Maybe 50 cent isn't doing his end of things?
