If Froch does vacate and fight Chavez Jr in Vegas does anyone have any idea who Chunky will face for the title. And before anyone says it, it will not be Grovesatsch
Apparently the IBF have told Froch he has to defend against DeGale by Feb next year so he would have time to fight JCC in Vegas in Oct / Nov and still make his mandatory in Feb Probably won't have to vacate
The last rankings on the IBF site are from April: 1 NOT RATED 2 NOT RATED 3 Brandon Gonzales United States 4 James De Gale England 5 Christopher Rebrasse France 6 George Groves England 7 Gilberto Ramirez Mexico 8 Julius Jackson United States 9 Mouhamed Ali Ndiaye Italy 10 Dimitri Sartison Germany 11 Maksim Vlasov Russian Federation 12 Alexander Brand Colombia 13 Derek Edwards United States 14 Rocky Fielding England 15 Peter Manfredo, Jr. United States
Fair enough his name is spelt wrong, but he has dynamite in his fists! We don't want degale winning a vacant title though, take a fight or 2 inbetween and then IMO opinion beat Froch next summer.
