    My head tells me Bute or Kessler.
    But my heart says 'Jones', definitly.

    Give him Kessler. Froch is a delusional **** he thought he was winning the fight before the stoppage fair play to him for pulling out the win I respect him for that and the way he said he would give Taylor a rematch but really he was exposed last night yes he won but if that was against Kessler he wouldnt be so lucky.

    Kessler and Wright both embarrass Froch.

    A motivated Taylor probably wins a decision over Froch as well.

    **** off, Taylor lost fair and square.

    But I would agree Kessler likely to maintain composure and get the UD

    Pavlik or Bute I bet, much easier fights than Kessler, Hennessey will want to keep the money rollin in before Kessler gets to Froch.

    If taylor fights a rematch with froch in england,
    Taylor will get KTFO.
    I believe he should fight kessler which will be a very good fight.

    Probally Bute who I think Froch beats. If he takes on Kessler it'll be a good fight but I'd fancy Kessler to come out on top.

    froch should have the rematch with taylor there's wasnt to much closure a tko victory which came from the last 50 seconds of a fight taylor had so much control in, i say rematch and beside's i would hope the second would be just as good asthe first

    - Bute is semi-obligated to an Andrade rematch (and it'd do good box office, so it will likely happen), so likely not him.
    - Kessler... who knows what's going on with him contractually. Froch likely can't wait to find out, but who knows - this could happen.
    - Jones/Trinidad seems made (unfortunately). I don't see Jones having the interest - he'd make good money with little risk fighting Lacey, too.

    Of the 3, I'd say Kessler has the best chance to happen, but it's still a questionable one. Ward has a high WBC ranking - maybe him if he gets by Miranda? Green was on the same card, Showtime may back that.

    Anyway, maybe the sport is making me cynical, but I doubt it'll be a fight that brings the divisional clarity fans would like. Though Froch does seem to want to make his career happen quickly, so that is a good thing.

    it looks like froch wants to try unify the titles so i reckon he will hold out for either bute or kessler, then chase the other after.
    against bute, froch wins. against kessler i'd go with kessler by decision.
    i picked froch to win last night, and i'm glad he did cos it looked like he wasnt going to. fantastic finish.

    Froch was in no way exposed last night. We knew he had a **** poor defence, we knew his hand speed and skill was not as good as Taylors.
    Unless you mean exposed to the world as an exciting fighter?

    Froch won't fight Jones.

    He is losing the PR war with Calzaghe.... having ridiculed JC for choosing Jones and failing to KO him, it would be suicide for him to go down that route.

    It isn't an attractive fight in any case, Jones couldn't draw **** in the UK.

    I'd say what next for Froch is none other than Mikkel Kessler.

    As much as I admire Froch now, I don't see him getting passed Mikkel. It would make for a great fight, however.
