    Simple question, which fighter would you most like to see Carl Froch face next. I'm going to rule out a third fight with George Groves because there's no chance of that happening.

    Julio Cesar Chavez Jr - big fight
    Bernard Hopkins - a chance to defeat a legend
    Adonis Stevenson - the man at LHW
    Sergey Kovalev - the danger man at LHW
    Andre Ward II - avenge that loss
    Gennady Golovkin - competitive fight
    Sakio Bika - a win over Bika would earn Froch 3 belts, making him undisputed champ
    James DeGale - another big British fight
    Mikkel Kessler III - rubber match
    Cotto vs Martinez winner - if they decide to move up a division

    Golovkin

    It was between GGG and Stevenson so I voted for GGG because he needs big name fights more than Stevenson.

    Julio Cesar Chavez Jr

    The Andre Ward fight is pointless as Ward will school Froch and force Froch to retire... if he fights JCC Jr first he can always get schooled by Ward later if he gets past JCC Jr

    I think he should fight Ward, number 1 and 2 in the division and it's a fight Ward wants.

    From an entertainment aspect Golovkin.

    Froch is an old SMW and I think has been past best for quite a few years.
    Froch/Ward was a close fight, with what I think was a fatigued Froch who had been fighting away 5 out of 6 times in his last 6 fights.
    I think Froch could do better, even at his even further advanced age, especially if the fight was in the UK, but I dont think Ward will fight in the UK.

    Chavez and Golovkin have not done anything of note at SMW.

    Seen Kessler/Froch twice and although both were great fights, I think they both take too much out of each other. Two faded warriors.

    Think Hopkins would school Froch and dont think LHW is neccessary as he has fights at SMW.

    Bika wouldnt be a bad fight and I think very winable for Froch, as think Bika is also faded. This wouldnt be a bad move as it would give Froch his old title back if he won.

    DeGale, would be a good domestic fight for Froch, but its a fight that I think could be very tough for Froch, as DeGale is a fast SMW and may rise to the occassion. I would favour DeGale

    So Ward in UK, Bika or DeGale would all be good match ups for Froch in my opinion.
    DeGale is a dangerman to any champ and I wouldnt be against him with any of the SMW champs

    How I'd like to see the remainder of Froch career go:

    1. Fight Chavez Jr in Las Vegas for an easy big fight payday. He should also try to encourage Mikkel Kessler and Saiko Bika to fight on the undercard and vow to fight the winner in his retirement match (if not then Kessler-Abraham)

    2. Fight Kessler/ Bika winner in a huge stadium in the UK.

    3. Retire

    GGG
    But if he beats GGG people will say GGG was overated and a european stiff bum.
    so maybe he should beat jcc jr instead.
    kovalev is suicide

    Beating Biko for the wbc strap won't mean Froch is Undesputed champ.... For one the belt belongs to Ward anyway, Froch's wba strap is just the regular belt and wbo champ Robert Stieglitz. Undisputed means holding all 4 belts, unless in circumstances such as Vlad, whose pretty much seen as undisputed.

    That doesn't really answer the question.

    i think he should fight degale.

    degale makes it clear he wants the fight and it will be easy to make.

    In order of preference, I would enjoy watching him

    1. Get an epic beatdown from GGG or Chavez Jr.
    2. Be sparked inside 2 rounds by Kovalev or Stevenson
    3. Be completely clowned by Bernard Hopkins or
    4. Get exposed by an aging Bika.
