People don't realise ward is not stuck for opponents but froch is .. he wont fight ward this yr , Eddie wont risk it yet but it will happen next yr also hbo are lining up chavez for ward froch aint giving groves no shot until he proves himself cleverly again wont happen this yr Oscars said that they wont fight froch as they have big plans for Hopkins (I am guessing a unification with the winner of clev v shumenov) so for this yr nov/dec who the hell will froch fight ??? has to be a big name but who??
Not sure of the exact fighter but I can see a nice easy opponent for Carl either at Nottingham or the o2. Yusaf Mack type quality. And with a stacked under card I can see it being PPV fight Like it or not Froch is a PPV fighter in this country now
you do realise he has been injured , he had an opp on his shoulder he has a comeback fight in sept ( some bum ) then he wants another in dec this yr
Who are the other guys he could be fighting though? Slim pickings unless he moves up a weight class imo.
Probably a mandatory or a ranked opponent in Nov. Then a big one-Ward/Groves in the summer. It wouldn't be long enough to promote a Nov/Dec fight on PPV
Call me crazy but I think Golovkin might stop him in the later rounds, I think Froch might box similar to the Abraham fight weary of GGG power, only problem with that is Golovkin is a technically better boxer than Abraham and will more than hold his own, if Froch starts slow and falls behind on points that is when the fight opens up and Froch could find himself in real trouble. What go's in Froch's favour is GGG stepping up a division (will he be as effective?) or if he can take Golovkins power he might break his will and out tough him, I think its a really good fight.
If Kessler doesn't retire then I think we'll see a third fight. I reckon Froch does want to fight Ward again but I think Eddie will want to milk him for at least a couple more fights before cashing out.
Steiglitz seems a good opponent to me. The guy's got skills and ambition and after defeating Abraham made himself a household name in Germany, so there could be good money in this fight. And it could be a real ******* :happy
