    Maybe holding onto the title was a big motivation for him just like it was for Hopkins

    Dawson is the guy he should be fighting (if he fights again). After using the excuse of a payday pension fight to get in the ring with Jones, it would be a disappointment if he fights anyone but Dawson next. He should fight a real live opponent - if he fights again. Froch is unproven, and Johnson has been in more wars then Genghis khan...

    Perhaps it was, but a gross misjudgement on his part I'd say.

    With boxing being so stupid having three major titles and a load more mickey mouse ones such as the WBO, WBU, IBO etc.....

    Who really gives a **** about them?

    If you have one, fine, but make sure you fight the best or at least some of them - vacate if you have to.

    I would prefer if he fought Dawson as he is more highly regarded at this stage.

    Nevertheless, it would be nice to shut Carl Froch up, it would be a good farewell fight as a British clash.

    There would be endless difficulties with this one - promotional, TV etc

    Froch's promoter has a deal with ITV for all his fighters.

    Calzaghe is with Setanta.

    The fight wouldn't be worth Joe's while without Setanta's money...... does he bring US tv money?

    You're probably right - it does sound a bit fabricated. I'm surprised they haven't linked him to a transfer to Manchester City also.

    Dawson Dawson Dawson that is the only guy he should be fighting, especially if he pastes tarver again. No Point in fighting Froch, Froch is not even in the same division
