    I think Froch will announce a retirement but get itchy
    Feet and comeback and fight Degale (assuming he wins a belt in his next fight) towards the end of the year...Carl could probably do with a long rest anyway.

    disgraceful following chavez around, begging for him to throw carl a bone.

    How about instead try to become the champion in your division something that has always alluded him or move up, great fighters next weight up

    It's so hard for me to sit back here, in this studio
    Looking at a guy out here hollering my name
    When last year I spent more money on spilt liquor
    In bars from one side of this world to the other, than you made
    You're talking to the Rolex wearing, diamond ring wearing, kiss stealing (WOO!)
    Wheeling dealing, Limousine riding, Jet Flying, son of a gun.
    And i'm having a hard time holding these alligators down!

    Honour Degale or go for a Golovkin fight in the US. Golovkin is the man of the moment at 160-168, he's selling out stadiums and doing very good numbers.

    Chavez firstly is a gimme fight for Froch and secondly hasn't done anything to deserve it.

    "begging chavez":lol:

    he's the best active fighter in his division, which no other brit can claim. it's funny when posters try to gloss over ward's unavailability to try and discredit other fighters.

    groves fan by any chance? good to know you're all getting along ok.

    I disagree on both points.

    And deserve doesn't come into it in boxing.

    Well what had Chavez done at 168 that makes you feel the fight would be competitive?

    If Froch wants a big US fight why not rematch Ward or look at Golovkin?

    Bob Arum is so bad for boxing it is untrue. Makes **** fights and Golden Boy do a much better job, as I know a whole lot more about Golden Boy fighters than I do of Top Rank fighters, evidence of bad promotion

    Degale- Much smaller than Groves fight
    Chavez- Big name plus big reward for the fight
    GGG- Has stated he has unfinished business at 160 plus the reward isn't there at this current time but will be in 12 months
    Ward- He isn't fighting plus no reward from the fight
    Who else is there? Nobody really

    Chavez is a hard man. It'd be a great fight.

    Agree on the other fights, but can't see 'em happening.

    I must admit whilst Froch is levels above Chavez I would like to see how he reacts to a fighter who will be 190lb come fight night.

    Froch isn't a mover and isn't exactly hard to hit I wonder what would happen if
    A. He cannot hurt Chavez
    Or
    B. Starts to feel Chavezs strength.

    Personally I think Froch fights smart and wins a clear UD.

    Chavez strength and weight will tell on any fighter who he fights in the division. It would not surprise me seeing him pushing back froch bulling him like wards strength was when he could easily push froch back when he wanted to fight up close

    They have been trying to get Golovkin Vs. Chavez, but Chavez keeps backing out.............Golovkin hopes to fight Cotto, if not the winner of Cotto/Alvarez, but that fight is in trouble..............
