They will chase the biggest fights out there, no doubt. Kessler in Nottingham wouldn't surprise me as a home coming/revenge type job as a first fight.
It depends on various things. If he wins the Super 6 Who wins Bute vs Kessler Who wins Pascal vs Hopkins 2 The ideal scenario would be... June 2011 - Beats Johnson next month on regular Sky & Showtime. November 2011 - Beats Ward in Vegas in a close, maybe even controversial fight on Sky Box Office and Showtime. March 2012 - Beats Kessler in a rematch. Kessler is coming off a competative loss Bute. In the UK on Sky Box Office and Showtime. September 2012 - Beats Bute to unify on neutral ground (USA). Sky Box Office and Showtime PPV. December 2012 - Beats Pascal in a rematch Canada who is unified LHW champion having beat Hopkins, Dawson and Cloud. Sky Box Office and Showtime PPV.
If he did that, he would surely be one of the absolute greats of british boxing. he won't, but IF he did. Wow.
He should face whoever is seen as the best at 168 (other than whoever he has fought in the S6). Maybe rematch Kessler if no other fights at the weight materialise. Move up. Face the best at 175. I'd imagine that to be Dawson by that point as Hopkins will have retired (probably) and Pascal will lose to both Bhop and Chad. Then face whoever else is left, probably someone moving up from 168.
Just reading that makes me happy, it would make him legendary in British boxing. Tbh Super Middle is the one of the few divisions where you feel that the best (excluding Dirrell) geuinely want to fight the best That being said its not gonna happen
I dont see him winning the S6 , i think Johnson is a real hand full for Froch and i think Ward beats him hands down . Ok so lets say he beats Johnson and loses to Ward He would still have several high profile options , the Kessler re match , the Pascal re match , even if Pascal loses to either Hopkins or Dawson as i supsect he will to Dawson , its still a very good fight . Then there's Cleverly , would Frank match them , it could be a somewhat in theory easier route to a title @175 providing Cleverly has first of all won it and then kept it . Then look at Bute and Dawson , why not ??? , many many options ............
if james degale wins a world title in the next 12/18 months thats a fight that could happen...if matchroom and warren can work together wud be pretty big if froch lost a competitve decision to ward in the final then came back to fight degale just kinda brainstorming here
