    Very interested in this fight just to see what would happen. Find out who is right, those who think Froch would win or those who think DeGale would win. It's a tough one to pick but I say DeGale on points based on speed mainly plus the fact that Froch does't seem to have the same hunger and confidence any more, hence not seeming interested in DeGale, GGG or Ward. That's not his usual style.

    I could turn out to be wrong but that's just how it looks from the outside looking in going by Froch's own statements. I guess he could be lying and really he is interested in fighting DeGale etc.

    I think a lot of the people who want Froch to just retire now must also not have much confidence in him.

    James too quick slick and awkward. Add the fact that Carl does not want the fight and would take James lightly and you get a points win for degale.

    No way in hell this fight gets made.

    Froch should fight Adonis, Eddie is all pally with Haymon these days so it could probably happen.

    Eddies first choice would be James DeGale. It's Carl that doesn't fancy it.

    Why do people treat Froch so different to other boxers tho?, I cannot think of many other big names that are forced by the boards and the fans expectations to fight mandatory after mandatory

    Last thing Froch wants is another British rivalry after the GROVES carry on.

    We will see if Ward ever comes back and has a mandatory he doesnt want to fight. Im 100% sure many will say he has earned the right to pick and choose who he fights.

    With all the hatred Ward gets I seriously doubt it.

    Would be in Degale's best interest if Froch vacates. I thought Degale beat Groves but same as Groves I don't think Degale is experienced enough, where as Froch has been there and done that many times.

    Never discount the Cobra.....He is a jerk outside the ring IMO but he has shown big sac in the ring.

    Cobra wins TKO less than 10.5 rds:smoke
