    There is so much interest for a rematch - it will sell itself without any effort. Plus Froch would claim lions share as hes still the champ.

    And its the one the fans want. If Froch wants to keep his face among the boxing community he has to do the right thing and give the fans what they want. It sold out within an hour for the 1st? it can be a bigger arena, sold as a proper grudge match/ revenge etc.

    You have to be kidding me about any alternative cos its not good enough in any way shape or form.

    I said he'd given himself a get out clause as soon as he said Groves will fight Froch or for a world title next.

    Ideally Hearns wants Groves in another big fight and same with Froch but not cancelling each other out. A rematch is great but Froch loses and people will feel vindicated that Froch should have lost the first time. If Groves loses then they'll say he is coming off of 2 big losses, where does he go from here.

    Stupid of course. Fighters should just rebuild after losses. However promoters know how fickle and stupid fans can be and treat us as such.

    Froch has fooled a lot of people with this global superstar crap, if there was such demand for his fights you'd think HBO or Shotime would have picked up Froch-Groves. Froch-Chavez Jr in the states or the UK would be a hard ppv sell, no way it has nearly the demand of a Groves rematch.

    If Froch doesn't rematch Groves its a straight duck and seriously damages his legacy

    I like Carl always have,I really don't think he needs to take any more clouts to the nut.If he doesn't retire only one match we want to see....the dosh from that should see him have a very comfortable future.

    There us no interest in a Ward rematch. Froch is not even close to Andre award and he would be outclassed again.

    Ggg is a nice flash of styles but I doubt Hearn really wants it after Carls showing against a Groves.

    He beat Chavez jr but so does a lot of ppl...

    Carl Froch NEEDS George Groves.

    Froch has very few options, let's be fair if he doesnt rematch Groves he will rightly loose a ton of respect, everyone will know he is ducking Groves, if he was to fight Ward he and Eddie both know he looses, anyway the fight would have to be in America and Froch won't fight Ward there, GGG the money involved versus the risk would be stupid, i mean you make more money fighting Groves while GGG is as big if not a bigger risk, Kessler 3, does Mikkel even want it and that would just be a clear clear duck, JCC no credability in that and i also suspect that HBO will want JCC to fight someone like GGG who they can then build into a PPV fighter, they won't ever be putting Froch on PPV.

    Reality is Froch if he wants to save both his credability and make the most money needs to rematch Groves, either way he is likely done i mean fighting Groves, Ward, GGG will likely see him loose anyway

    His legacy was set before the fight - the rematch can only enhance it. If Froch is as crap as everyone now says he is, then this win should have massively bolstered it. But really the remtach would just be a great add-on to an aalready legendary resume.

    GGG flattens Froch and Ward easily outclasses him,he needs to try and set the George Groves fiasco straight and then retire.

    Gennady Golovkin is a short power-hooker coming from middleweight. Groves is a straight-right power puncher. Styles make fights, Froch would find it easier to keep Golovkin on the end of a jab.

    Don't patronise me. I have travelled to nottingham from London twice to watch Froch fight. I was a big fan. But comments lately have got out of hand, his egotism is out of control... I still respect him in the ring as a fighter, but as a person he is a complete nob.
