    Probably at some time, though I suspect they will pick a time when Froch is ripe for plucking.

    I wonder if Froch will look away from McCracken, i know the comments from Froch are always honest and brutal but was shocked and thought maybe he feels a little annoyed he's never worked on inside work?. Dunno just found comment strange and a bit of a dig at Rob.

    To bring the best out in Froch you need someone that will stand and trade with him.

    Any ideas?

    Ideas in terms of opponents? Kessler, or go up to LHW and fight Cleverly.

    I think Froch should try moving up to 175 and become a 2 weight world champion. A potential fight with Nathan Cleverly would be a great scrap.

    He's 34 now and been in a few wars. I don't think he has anything left to do at 168. He'll never have the beating of Ward and is it really worth trying to avenge the Kessler defeat now?

    Can't help but keep thinking it makes sense for him to move up to LH. Some potentially massive but very winnable fights to be had. He's already beaten Pascal, Hopkins can't go on for ever, Shumenov & Clev would both suit his style.

    Don't see what he's got to gain by staying at smw, he ain't beating Ward and I think he'd struggle against either of the Dirrells. Only Bute is worth sticking around for, and even then where would he go from there?

    Light Heavy is weak, he'd be guaranteed a title.

    Get Froch out mid April bout the same time as Kessler against a top 20 opponent that he can KO and let the people decide if they want a rematch, I sure do!!!

    im sure calzaghe could be tempted with a big pot of dosh.im sure after he watched ward destroy him last night he would be tempted

    Calzaghe has never taken a risk in his life. He's not going to start now.

    He said something like 'Ward's good at that cos he works on it, see i never really work on it. it's not my game' he also said the stuff about technical things and thought it was strange comments.
