    say he fights and beats kessler and maybe pascal at 175 it would be a good way to leave the sport.

    Unless Carl loses a few I think he'll stay in the big fights as he hasn't made it big until relatively recently and after the S6 he'll want to maximise his earnings.

    Kessler II, Pascal II, Bute I & II, a few okay contenders in Nottingham. Still a good couple of mil to be made in the next 3 years. Then he can leave the sport an concentrate on his fam and property.

    Can see him staying around a few years unless he takes a particularly bad beating against Bute.

    all this talk of a kessler rematch...what is in it for kessler?..he already has a win got over froch, froch has no belt to offer.....would it be a big payday for kessler?, would that be the attraction ?

    What ever for?

    He's got plenty left to offer, even Ward said he'll regain a world title at some point (and yes, that's the usual rhetoric to hype oneself up vicariously through their freshly vanquished opponent but it didn't seem insincere).

    I give him at least a solid 4 more years operating at the top level.

    battle of the brits with clev and then a rematch to kessler ends a brilliant career

    He'll keep going till the big fights dry up. He has been ignored too long to walk away now.

    I think he'll keep going for as long as he can to be honest and good luck to him.

    Can he continue with the way he fights? I hope he quits after maybe 1 or 2 big payday fights!

    every fights a hard fight for carl.
    he gets hit a lot and's been involved in a few wars.
    he may have a few big fights left, then thats it. time for a unknown fighter to start calling him out saying froch does'nt wanna fight me because he know's i will smoke his boots. would be nice, that.

    No way does Froch beat Ward or Kessler in a rematch and he would also get beat by Bute. He could have a few fights against Cleverly, Groves and Degale just to make a few quid though

    He beats Kessler in a rematch.... if he had bothered getting his head out of his arse and not sulking last time he would have beaten him in the first fight
