    If Bute looks good and wins on Saturday. Don't be surprised if this fight is made. Froch would take it as he knows he can win. It could be potentially made in the USA, I doubt it though. Sky would hype the hell out of it.

    It will be in Canada if they fight again.

    I would love to see it. Froch would have maximum confidence knowing he can take Bute's power, but not the reverse. Would be a mega pay day in Canada too. May even tempt him up in weight for a Pascal rematch or a Stevenson fight.

    Bute should beat Pascal as Pascal's chin is not that good, and his stamina is very poor. I expect Bute to be a much better fighter now. If he looks really good against Pascal he will give Froch a lot of trouble. If Groves can beat Froch Bute can..................of course Froch will not fight Groves again. Good thing Froch has his referee in the ring...........

    I would bet my house that Carl would go nowhere near Stevenson.I wanted to see it at the weight below,and thought it would be better than the Kessler return.But apparently that fight made more economic sense.In retrospect,that might have been a good move.I might be in a minority in thinking this,but I don't think a win in Canada,which is where it would be,is anywhere near a certainty against Bute.Bute has gone up in weight,and Id bet he would say he was weight drained in the UK.I don't believe Carl is a small super middle,but possibly Bute is more comfortable at the higher weight.Good fight,I reckon.

    Since when has Pascal had a bad chin? Stamina is a massive issue for him.

    Sky can shove it up their arse.

    The paying public don't want to see Froch-Bute II they want to see him fight Groves again. Anything else will be a massive let down by Sky and Eddie Hearn.

    Froch said he doesn't need to give a rematch to Groves as he stopped him by knockout. Lol he would look a right tit if he fought Bute again after dismantling him. Also if he lost to Bute, then his career defining win would be tarnished forever.

    Froch and his trainer have said multiple times that they will not go up to 175lb.

    When are people going to get that into their heads?

    Pascal's chin is not that good? Since when?

    I think Pascal stops Bute in this one. Pascal Froch 2 would be a ******* if it's anything like the 1st fight.

    Yes,its very unlikely.Hes coming to the end.Said he would make a decision about his future around the present date.That doesn't sound like a man who will carry on much longer.Im not his biggest fan,but never had him down as a bullshitter,so maybe George and his other victims will have to get on with their careers without him.
    PS Im in the majority on Froch vs Groves.George was robbed.

    Can see Bute fancying his chances against Froch now like much of the top ten. It would however be a tough sell for Sky after their last fight.

    I'm not fussed about Bute 2 but wouldn't mind Pascal 2 to win a LHW strap then unify against Stevenson
