love it! froch did promise pascal a rematch (even though he beat Pascal fair, and square), and he's a gent like that (not a ***** like lewis)... i would hope the fight would go down at 175 pounds for the championship belt Pascal is about to lift up off of Tavoris Cloud. . . also would hope it would go down in Montreal, as Pascal came to Nottingham for the first fight. . Froch needs to get "two-weight champion" status. . . but of course, i have high expectations for Froch cause he's such a beast, and he ain't got no hoe in him like Lennox Lewis, etc. . .
also think it should be in montreal cause of the storyline with Bute, and Froch! imagine froch STORMING into Montreal! For a rematch against Montreal's last hope to beat Froch! And their first fight was a CRAKKER! Although Pascal has since adopted a slightly different style that uitlizes more of his foot speed, and movement. . .
This right here. Rematch has to happen in Canada after Pascal snatches Cloud's belt. And this version of Pascal is better than the one Froch fought, if Pascal doesn't brawl with him this time he can win.
Gentleman's agreement means it would be in Canada. Froch has promised Pascal that. It's basically his Kessler agreement but flipped. It'd be at 175 too. Pascal has a title fight with Cloud coming up. I doubt it'll happen. Froch has unfinished business at 168.
Logic says 175 , I'm assuming you meant weight class right ??? Id be surprised if Froch wants to leave the UK any time soon if ever again , coming off a career best performance , having lined his pockets nicely
They're very good friends and have sparred together for numerous camps since their FOTY candidate. I was standing near Pascal at the Froch vs Dirrell fight and his bird is fit as ****! Absolute dude, the man's a warrior and i know that Carl has a great deal of respect for him. Carl has always said that he'd like to give Pascal a rematch in Canada and he is a man of his word. I'd definitely go to Montreal for this one, it'd be a belting scrap and i'd favour Carl to stop him late aslong as he doesn't let his friendship with Pascal affect his killer instinct. Pascal is a warrior and a great guy but his stamina is awful and he was hurt against both Hopkins and Dawson. Froch hits harder than them both and is impeccably conditioned.
Froch has said before he would move up to 175 to fight Pascal in a rematch. I'd be very surprised if that happens now though while the buzz is so hot for Froch-Kessler II
If Froch wants to fight at light heavy it makes sense to fight Hopkins. Hopkins will be up for that fight, seeing as the history he has with a certain British fighter (Joe) and Froch will prove alot if he can defeat someone with Hopkins style. An intriguing match up which will have an exciting build up, it will also do well on PPV's. Pascal vs Froch will be okay and should happen later down the road I say.
I'd prefer a Froch-Dawson if Dawson is not facing Ward. Froch Hopkins would be pretty interesting too.
I don't think Froch is in need of money, or US recognition. He already has both of those. HBO wouldn't pick up the fight, Showtime would, same as the Pascal one. Hopkins has no title, so I can't see Froch vacating a 168lb belt to fight a 47/48 year old man who's coming off a decisive loss.
