I dont think Bika would beat Froch, but would succeed in making it into a scrappy fight, not good when first going over to America and trying to make a good name over there.
I'm not saying he would, I'm saying he could potentially... Froch is still pretty unproven at world level imo...and I don't rate him *that* highly right now...
Two awful points. 1. Beating Pascal again does nothing for his US rep, especially considering he comfortably beat him last time out. Pascal is still very unproven, though personally I think he's a very, very good fighter. 2. Bika is also a very, very good fighter. He can bang, he's awkward, physically very strong with a good chin and a lot of heart, and in great condition all the time. I'm not saying he would beat Froch, but it's possible.
I was really looking forward to seeing Froch again but looking at this list I'm scratching my head to think of who would be best so cutting a deal with Taylor looks the best option by far and move onto unification matches.
Since when did Bika become such a monster? Yes, an unmotivated Calzaghe had problems with him for a few rounds when he tried to be macho and blast him out but managed to do sod all after that. Yes, Bika is tough but is also very small at the weight. It's a decent fight for Froch to get a few Yanks watching in order to tempt Taylor into a fight but nothing gets Americans watching more than an American boxer.
