    Lost respect for Froch knew this was coming he will fight Stevenson in vegas instead ( no doubt Eddie Hearn citing Groves wanted too much money excuse ) it would seem but I think he wont want that fight after seeing what he did to bellew and it will be vs someone else cant think who yet but defo going to be someone less dangerous.Or it will be stevenson then retire to avoid Kovalev.

    He needs to rethink because people will say he pussied out of a groves rematch it will taint his otherwise solid hof worthy career.
    I think the only fight you could get away with justifying no groves rematch would be ward II ?

    Fighting Stevenson probably tougher than fighting Groves though would rather see the rematch.

    Froch has a W over Groves on his resume, so Groves can wait.

    I dont see anyone insisting that Mayweather fight someone who nearly beat him.....

    Anyway fighting Stevenson is a new challenge. He can rematch Groves for a title later on down the track and give the rematch time to ferment a little while longer so that it gains momentum from the hype that is being gained as time goes by....

    Getting past Adonis is not an easier fight. its just another challenge to prepare for:deal

    Really? Is that why Mayweather gave Castillo a rematch?

    He probably gets out boxed and maybe stopped by groves, however I think Stevenson absolutely destroys Froch early.

    Calzaghe should come out of retirement. It'd probably be pretty even now

    His W over Groves is a paper win, he knows that himself.

    Before he thinks about anyone else, there must be a rematch between him and Groves.

    wow how times change on esb. this time last month froch defined what a warrior was and would beat anyone not named ward due to his heart, determination and chin. now he's "a disgrace" and apparently a coward who runs off and fights a ko artist who is 7 pounds above his current weight class

    Absolutely Pathetic OP....how could fight Adonis Stevenson be considered anything other than extreme bravery and epitomizing the warrior spirit and not mentioning setting a platinum standard for other fighters to emulate..

    Some people are just weird....Froch is one of the greatest fighters to come out of the UK and must be praised for not going the WBO fight nobodies route like all other British "Champions".

    You gotta be f****g kidding me! whiny little girls on this forum. The guy has been taking hard fight after hard fight. Froch hasn't done anything wrong. he did what he had to do, fight, blame the ref, but Froch was in there taking punches and was coming back in a great fight. Both guys come out of the fight with enormous respect, or at least they should be getting it.

    If Froch wants to fight Adonis, then hey, that's his prerogative. Groves can wait, or he can set his own path. Froch had walked his path and is nearing the end. Only has a couple fights left. I think he deserves to fight whoever the hell he wants to at this stage. I'd hardly call Stevenson the soft option!

    Some people need to get a grip.

    Getting past Adonis:patsch
    He is going to turn Froch into his JOCKey:rofl

    I agree with the money issue as Froch will collect a BIG payday with Adonis but the sad part is he will be a shell of a man after this fight so GG will never get to finish this ****.
    Superman will put him right on front of ***** Street :nut
