Ballsy statement I personally think he is already (not solely due to demolition of LHW ATG Yusuf Mack), but for that run he would definitely be the british SMW ATG. He'd beat Bute, Beat Kessler, and lose (every single time) to Ward. 'Carl Froch can beat anybody in the world....In Nottingham' gtfo Froch remains a great mascot for boxing
Assuming Kessler beats McGee, he'll fight Ward again and catch another stomping. Assuming no injuries, that would mean at the earliest he would be fighting Kessler November/December 2013ish if Kessler doesn't take another tune up after the beating he'll catch from Ward the second time. Until then he needs another fight at least 1, if not 2, so one will be Bute, so who would the other guy be and please don't say Chris Henry or Allan Green
