    Well?

    Kessler rematch? Fight Bute (if Ward doesn't)? Fight Pascal again (i'd love to see that)?

    His next fight should be at home, he deserves it.

    Easier fight in Nottingham.
    Kessler/Steiglitz winner.
    Pascal II.
    Light Heavyweight campaign.
    Rebuild to fight Bute if he doesn't fight Ward or should he beat Ward.

    Still alot of big money fights out there for Carl if he wants it.

    Be a cracking fight as well,a lot better than last night.Mikkel likes to fight just like Froch does.
    A warm up fight would be good for him first though then Kess in the summer.

    Something like that ^.

    I would like to see The Cobra back in the ring in about 6 months time, he deserves a break but doesn't want to be out of the ring for too long, not now his profile is probably higher than it has ever been, even in defeat.

    I think the belts at '68 are going to be tied up for too long, with Ward holding 2 straps and looking to take a well-earned break*; Kessler - Steiglitz fighting in April and the winner probably won't be ready to fight again until the latter part of 2012, by which time Froch will have been inactive for almost one year; and Froch not fitting the Bute model of opponents.

    I would like to see The Cobra step up to '75 and target Shumenov; bring him over here with a big money offer. Once he has the WBA strap, he can think about big money rematches against either Pascal in Canada or Kessler in Nottingam (with the WBO '68 strap and WBA '75 straps on the line).

    Then retire after these two more fights.

    He still has high profile, big money options which he deserves.


    * No point targetting a Ward rematch anyway though!

    I dont think Ward - Bute happens next so I think he should go to Canada and face Bute in April/May.

    He deserves a home fight, it's been nearly two years. At the Nottingham Arena against someone like Andrade or Bika would be my next move. Both would be good scraps that he should come through unscathed.

    Pavlik, if he sorts himself out, could be a decent opponent for Froch next year. Another who I think Froch would look very good against.

    Come through both of those and he'd be right back in line for a title shot vs a Ward/Bute/Kessler.
