I don't think Froch has any business being in the ring with Kovalev... Ot Stevenson for that matter! He might have a chance challenging BHop, though...
BHOP would be the only guy Id go after right now outside 168 if I was Froch, and really the only other fight Id consider other than Bute 2 or Groves 2. Froch vs Bhop would be a cool fight. Id love to see the press cons, the stare downs and the face off interviews lol.
Financially it may make sense, though Ward does not draw huge crowds. Boxing wise - I am not sure what Froch can do to make it different from the first fight...
I'm talking about Froch sliding in ahead of Ward and getting a big money fight against Chavez Jr. A Chavez Jr fight on PPV is what Ward wants.
I think it would be a good fight because Froch has determination, a good chin and decent skills. This determination, though, will only highlight Kovalev's power. Can't tell you what round, but Kovalev KO's Froch. Kovalev is the real deal.
Kovalev's combos are as fluid if not more than Froch's. Kovalev might even have the edge in handspeed, and he's a fully fledged LHW. Barring chin issues with Sergey, he wins a UD or late TKO.
Froch wouldnt bring rachel to this one. Wonder how she felt seeing carl ****ed up by another white dude. She thought froch was the toughest white dude in britain. But nah.
