    1 .- Carl Froch (GB) BBBoC/COMM
    2 .- Dennis Inkin (Russia) INTL
    3 .- Mikkel Kessler (Denmark)
    4 .- Jermain Taylor (US)
    5 .- Edison Miranda (Colombia)
    6 .- Jean Pascal (Haiti/Canada) LATINO/NABF


    All of those are big fights, if he beat 3 of those 4 he would be huge!

    If he beats three of those he will deserve the respect. We should hopefully have some good fights coming up and it is nice to have a Brit fighter in the mix with a competative bunch.

    Very true; although that is a big IF. There are some good names on that list.

    Froch, Haye and Khan will be our big hopes the next few years.

    i am not convinced by froch until he beats any one of them listed. he talks the talk lets see if he can walk the walk. He has has a careful guided career to get him in that position. Also he is i think 30! which last time i checked at this time joe was already world champ! how carl keeps saying he is better the joe i never know

    Very big IF. You can make an argument for all those guys beating each other. No one stands out head and shoulders above the rest, a very competative mix and I hope that when one of those guy loses they come straight back into contention.

    The Super Middleweight division looks pretty hot at the moment and I can only see it getting better. A few more to jump up from Middle and maybe Byrd coming down plus Mundine is ****ing off which is a good thing for the competion. The division has a few very good prospects coming through as well.

    I think Froch will beat Berrio if that fight does happen. I hope he puts in a good performance that merit's his position and status. He should be coming into his peak now.

    Once Joe drops the belts, Forch will be wbc champ and bute ibf. Kessler looks set to go for the wba.

    you think taylor would go for the WBO or go after one of those guys??

    Nah Taylor will be looking for a few blown up Welters to fight.

    I dont know how you can talk about Khan in the same sentance as Haye, my only hope for Khan is he fights someone who will fight back and hits hard so he is found out!

    Joe should give up all his titles at 168 in he is not going to fight there any more.

    I think he's keeping his belts just to **** off the other contenders. No doubt listening to him and Warren that they wish Froch only the worse.

    Wrong. Once Joe drops the belts, Froch will have the choice of fighting for the vacant title, but he will not be gifted it. Inkin pulled out; he won't get the first choice. Look further down the list - KESSLER! He will take the choice of fighting Froch for the title. Game over for Froch.

    I think Calzaghe will drop the WBC - it is not a Sports Network policy to have anything to do with the green belt!

    The WBA has all but gone, so he is left with his favoured WBO strap - I would be surprised if they dare to strip him or hold an interim matchup, given that Joe has practically kept them in business!

    I like Froch as a fighter, and feel he is ready - I just wish more of our fighters were willing to have a go at an elite title after 22 fights rather than padding the record with bums - Ricky, Joe and Junior take note!

    I would give all my pocket money to see him in with Kessler.
