    Froch has said time and time again he comfortably makes the super middleweight limit, but do you think he'll ever be tempted to become a 2 weight world champ to enhance his legacy. I do recall Froch saying that he would fight Pascal in a rematch at light heavy when he was world champ.

    I think it will. It's a guaranteed money fight. If Froch gets past Groves and Cleverly gets past Kovalev then it makes sense for Cleverly to be Froch's next opponent.

    It'd be a guaranteed money maker in the UK and would be a very good fight.

    I think it would be a shame if Froch doesn't try to go for a title at 175 but against Cleverly I don't know.

    No reason for Froch to fight at 175. Cleverly either needs to come down or shut up.

    A lot depends on how he comes out of the Kovalev fight I guess.

    He gave pascal his word he would rematch him, remember Froch is a man of his word.

    If he loses to Groves then it def wont happen lol.

    I honestly think Froch looks at Clev and see's something that will give him trouble as the money he would get from that fight would be a lot more then what he could earn againts Groves.

    The Cobra and Fast Car wont be dictated to by the Rat and the Fish.

    If it happens, Froch calls the shots - thus its 168, for matchroom and on SKY and not vice versa.

    Not beyond the bounds of possibility for Froch to go up to light heavy.Smaller men than him have,with some success.But I couldn't see Cleverly EVER getting down.Too big.If Kovalev knocks out Nathan,as some predict,no way Carl boxes him.If Cleverly wins,they may see him as a bit too big,too young and too good at this point for Carl to risk his legacy.Wont happen IMO.

    I can't see it happening and if he was to move up to 175 for a fight with Clev, I don't see him beating him either.

    I dont think so.
    Froch is getting older and Cleverley is still young.
    I think its a very dangerous fight for Froch and think Nathan would out land, out punch and out last Froch
