    Bute is fighting Andrade in September, so now who will Froch face next at the O2? Is he even fighting at the O2 now? Anyone know if B-Hop is still a possibilty?

    I would pick Ward as favourite to face him next.

    I think there after pavlik. Next fight is more likely to be in nottingham rather than the o2, he wouldnt sell enough tickets at the o2

    EDIT: Alan Greens also another possibility and Froch is looking to fight in October

    The Alan Green fight is generating a bit of hype recently. I am gutted that the IBF mandated the Bute-Anrade rematch (don't get me wrong, still a cracking fight) and ordered purse bids. Ah well.

    What about Kessler?

    I might aswell of did a thread on him for what it's worth.

    Kessler has become a victim of boxing politics unfortunately. Management issues are keeping him out of the ring. I heard a month or so ago that he has a defence of the WBA title due but I've heard nothing since.

    This will no doubt affect him when he next steps in the ring aswell, seems like such a waste of talent.

    Promoters only care about themselves and as long as their interest(s) are taken care of then that's all that matters to them. It's ****ing stupid but, sadly, nothing new:-(.

    I see what your sayin but I've been impressed with the way Booth has dealt with his fighters, like George Groves for instance, I really think it works well because Booth is the trainer as well as the promoter.... and I know that Adam cares about his fighters, like all good trainers do so Groves really gets the fights nhe needs and can progress well without having a Frank Maloney/Warren to scared to feed their fighters challenges, killing their progress learning.... lets hope they get that deal with Sky done soon.

    If I was froch i would go after pavlik.....he could really make a name for himself.....and styles make fights.....he might struggle against a slick boxer like taylor, kelly disposed of......but pavlik is not that fast, and relies on his strength and power, if he trades with froch.....i think froch wins by KO....he should go fight pavlik....and then he really would be a star...

    I don't mean the likes of straight up guys like Booth. He is an incredibly good matchmaker, IMO. Hennessey always gives value for money as well. I was purely on about the crooks that are pervasive within the sport- we all know who they are.

    :goodWell, the fact that both camps have talked up the fight recently and that both Froch and Pavlik are currently not scheduled to fight anyone, this fight could happen.

    Froch has made it very clear he wants to add the WBA and IBF belts to his WBC title. Do you think he'll get the chance what with all the politics?
