Taylor's off the menu,who's next for Carl?

Bika or Mundine I reckon.....that's not who I'd like him to fight but who I think he'll be able to get to fight him.

 

Would like to see him fight Miranda i think that would be an exciting fight and would show us how good Froch really is.

 

well,,miranda would test his chin,but didn't pascal allready test that enough, he needs to fight a slick boxer to see if he can cope with that first

 

He'd stop Pantera between 6-8 IMO. I think Carl should offer a fight to Andrade, he's been in with Kessler and Bute and is known in the US. That would be a real test for Froch.

 

hmmm its a tough thing to find one,, he could go up and fight tarver or he could fight Karoly Balzsay at SMW

 

he will fight andre ward. he should fight miranda get exposure in the US. he should of acepted less money and fought taylor in the us

 

Good luck trying to find one mate.

 

That would be the easiest route to some form of unification but Balzsay would see Froch as too much of a risk and doesn't want to lose his source of income- the WBO belt.

Andrade or Bika would be good exposure, even if he stayed in Nottingham to fight a name who doesn't hold a belt but can and has mixed it with the best.

 

The WBC rankings are pretty shocking at the moment.

1 .- Jermain Taylor (US)
2 .- Andre Dirrell (US)
3 .- Andre Ward (US)
4 .- Marcus Johnson (US)
5 .- Jean Pascal (Haiti/Canada) NABF
6 .- Sakio Bika (Cameroon)
7 .- Anthony Mundine (Australia)
8 .- Alejandro Berrio (Colombia)
9 .- Robert Stieglitz (Germany) INTL
10 .- Fulgencio Zuñiga (Colombia)
11 .- Karo Murat (Germany) EBU
12 .- Mads Larsen (Denmark)
13 .- Stanislav Kashtanov (Ukraine)
14 .- Vitaly Tsypko (Ukraine)
15 .- Carlos De Leon Jr. (P. Rico)

Out of the possibilites from those ratings, Bika is the fight I would want to see. Berrio or Mundine would be acceptable.

And on another note does anyone have the slighest idea on who the hell Marcus Johnson is??? :huh

 

Horrible rankings. I know its all politics and behind the scnes **** but thats awful. I guess most weight divisions have 2-3 of the belts with horrible rankings. Andrew Ward #3? He's garbage!!!

Amazes me how the WBC belt is still seen by most as the #1 title. For me I think it doesn't matter on the belt as much as it does the boxer. I think most people have a pretty good idea who the best man in each division is. There might be the odd case where it is disputed between 2 but in most cases the cream of the crop are apparent on skills alone despite what belts they hold

 

Dirrell - Froch in the US would be one hell of a scrap
2nd by the WBC
11th by the WBA
7th by the IBF
2nd by the WBO

beat Dirrell and get any title shot

 

Bika would prove nothing .. The risk/reward for that fight is nothing, i'd try and tempt Andrade or Miranda into a fight because a win over those 2 could lead to a Kessler or Pavlik fight later down the track ..
I thought Taylor would have beaten Froch. I think Taylor is class if somewhat lacking in attitude for the fight game, he certainly has all the skills to be a great champion but with Taylor your always thinking, 'is his heart really in this ?'

 

Berrio has already chickened once.....
