Froch will take a long break now. This is what his promoter said. He'll not fight before September/October. He will then need to take on a second mandatory defence, because he won a vacant title and needs to take on 2 mandatory challengers before he can choose an optional defence. It will be either the winner of Ward v. Miranda, or Dirrell, or Karo Murat. In my view, it will almost certainly be Karo Murat, in Nottingham. Froch will then look for a unification fight in early 2010.:good
if he does it should be on frochs terms - in the UK probably in Nottingham at the Trent FM arena .... but JT doesnt have the gonads to come over to blighty and face Froch in his own back yard with 6000 passionate fans behind him !
For both mens careers and for the wight division and for the fight fans i think Froch - Kessler would be the best fight. Kessler has gone to the UK before and is well known here, Palle was willing to do that fight and it would be a unification fight between two of the top fighters. It would also give Kessler a way back into the big fight game. Both men are 31 and 30 respectively. Would be an awesome event at the O2 or something. And I would hope ITV would pick it up!
Love to see a Kessler fight. The Taylor rematch should happen but give them each a fight or two before that. Both would be well motivated, Kessler to try to get a title back and Froch to try to one-up Calzaghe and stop Kessler.
Errm, he 'manned up' as you put it straight away. CF knocked Taylors ass out, and Taylor knows that. You really aren't taking his loss very well are you?
Bika or Andrade would be a good fight for him to take in England. A good home coming match against a top ranked contender but not a match were he's going to be really up against it.
That's really up to him. Taylor might be a great rematch, but I think he should look and see what's offered him. An Allen Green bout would be interesting. If Ward gets past Miranda I'd like to see he and Ward go at it.
If he's smart he'll go back to the gym learn how to keep a guard and punch straight and then practice those techniques on some bum from europe.
