    GGG will want the Ring number 1 at MW first I reckon, or want tge chance to unify at mw. Froch is fight Groves and possibly a Ward rematch after

    GGG vs. Froch? I don't think Froch wants his career ending yet.

    He'd take it though unlike many others! Froch is good for boxing and it would be a war!

    if GGG beats stevens....hopefully sergio will be ready to get back in the ring. if not if quillin gets by rosado oct 26 then i would assume alot of fans would be yelling for quillin/GGG. i sure would.

    theres also jacobs.. an i dont know where pirog has been but GGG/pirog has always been talked about but its deff died down however i dont kno much bout pirog for all i know he could of fell off and lost a couple in a row for all i know

    Look for Sergio to fight Cotto. Quillin and Jacobs are with GBP, so I wouldn't expect either of them to be fighting on HBO anytime soon.
    Pirog has supposedly healed from his back injury and should be back in the ring soon, most likely in a tune up fight.
    HBO gave Eddie Hearn a list of names for Carl Froch to fight. Ward, Kessler, Golovkin and Chavez Jr were the names on that list.

    AInt gonna happen. Froch will cruise the rest of his career which is ok and deserved.

    And Golovkin should clean up the middelweight divison before he moves up.
    But HBO sure got the money to make those fights.

    Hells yizzle! Throw baby Chavez into the mix too while they're about it. Sure he's not the most skilled, but he's big and sturdy and can crack pretty good. Mini tourney. What the hell else they have going right now? :bbb

    I think if Golovkin could get a belt at SMW, that would sweeten the deal for a fight with Froch. Otherwise, I don't see why Froch would take that fight unless there is massive money involved

    Golovkin could get a fight @168, look good winning and then try to go after Stieglitz or Bika for an extra bargaining chip. Another belt and a unification fight on HBO might get Froch's attention.

    Froch could just cut out the middle man and try for a unification with Stieglitz though. I don't know why anyone would want to fight Bika unless it was absolutely necessary as he's so hard to look good against.
    I agree on GGG staying @160 and finish his business there first if possible.
