I believe that Froch still has to prove himself to call out hopkins. I mean he is the guy to beat right now. For jones, the lost to Calzaghe put him back on the hard way to claim for a major fight or title fight, I mean he's got to beat some name to do so. Lacy? I'm not sure he still is a big name. Maybe Bika?
Froch should "smash Bute to bits" next....i really think he would. He should at that point then have an easy mandatory....a fair enough nice little earner. Then Kessler, who should be contractually sorted by that point. That would then be then end of the road for Froch.....unless he learns to keep his hands up......Kessler would batter him.
