    First two were very enjoyable, but no need for a third imo. Bika would be a more compelling slugfest and a chance to add another title...

    and if he beat bika he would hold 3 titles at smw, criteria to be considered 'undisputed' as I understand it?

    Why not fight Bika for the WBC, then the winner fights Stieglitz for the WBO and then holding all the titles Froch can have his rematch with Ward so we can have a unified champion...

    Well, at least he admitted his fight with Groves was a mandatory this time and not a voluntary as he's said previously. Still talking a load of bull**** and trying to justify that stoppage though.

    Yeah I know but were all meant to sit back and accept it and say nothing! That will be f*cking right.

    I doubt Kessler will take it anyway. I don't think we will see Kessler fight again

    Well,the first fight was a great one in prospect,and lived up to it.I thought Kessler shaded it.But Froch surely won by a bigger margin 2nd time.Kessler looked to have gone back a fair bit.Straight after the fight he seemed not to want another when asked.There would have to be a good undercard for me to buy it this time.

    I watched the first two fights avidly,thoroughly enjoying them.....a big Froch fan have always watched and if needed bought his fights.BUT have no interest whatsoever in a third, I will go so far as to say that there is only one Froch fight I would now watch and pay extra for,it pains me but I think fans should boycott anything but a Groves rematch.Come on Carl end your career by giving your long term loyal fans what they want,and one which I think you will win.

    Bika is horrible to watch, see the Calzaghe fight for more details.

    Would be an ugly, mauling fight. Won't happen. I should think Froch will only be interested in PPV fights from now on.

    I think Kessler won the rematch myself (watching without commentary). Froch certainly didn't win it anymore clearly than Kessler did the first time. In the rematch Kessler won rounds 4,5,6 and 11 clearly, Froch won rounds 1,2,3 and 12 clearly. Rounds 7,8,9 and 10 could all have gone either way and I felt Kessler won rounds 7,8 and 10. Anyway Groves is still the fight to have since he was blatantly robbed and it isn't up for debate.
