    He wants Vegas but Eddie wants DeGale.

    Not that he'll win.

    Groves will just stay smart this time and take the decision out of his hands, no titles no more big fights.

    Ah yes I forgot about his desire for the big vegas fight, guess it depends if he wins or not, but then he'll have to fight DeGale first as sounds like DeGale already been promised it, providing he also wins his fight.

    Froch won't go out on a loss.

    IF he beats Groves, he's banged on before about wanting to see his name in lights on the Vegas strip so I can't see him fighting Degale.

    Degale will either face Groves if Groves beats Froch, if Froch beats Groves I think he'll vacate the IBF and head to Vegas for a fight with Chavez.

    I think the complete opposite, I think if he beats Groves in front of 80,000 fans, does it in style (also he is getting paid large) then he retires, will it ever get better than that for Froch? I do not think the prospect of fighting DeGale will get him or the general public excited after Groves II.

    I do not see Froch fighting Ward again, if it definitely on then the winner of GGG and Chavez will go after Ward and that is a big fight in the US the loser will have to rebuild.

    But there is no way on earth he finishes his career on a loss to Groves, he could not live with that.

    Lets be honest here, Froch really never wanted George Groves in the first place, given the choice he still wouldnt want George today BUT ........Money Talks.

    I think there is a distinct possibility that Froch could retire at the end of May but only on a win, can see him being interviewed on the corner steps saying ,

    "you know what , i have proved my point, ive beat Groves twice, im a four time champion of the world, never ducked anyone and ive just boxed infront of 80,000 people at the National Stadium, nothing can compete with that now, im 36, ive had a good career, now im gonna bow out on a high and spend more time with my beautiful partner Rachael and my kids Rocco and Natalia"

    The hypothetical problem for Froch comes with a loss, would he want to actually go through all the head wrecking business with George for a third time, lets not forget the age factor too, could you imagine Georges ego towards Froch if he took his belts, its unthinkable and if thats not enough to motivate Froch into a win then nothing ever will!

    For me Froch can talk about Vegas till the cows come home BUT that was before he filled Wembley, how many fighters alive can say they have fought infront of 80,000 people?

    Thats Legacy, that's a record i doubt will be broken anytime soon, so yes Carl wins, bows out on a high and leaves the two bitches to sort out their differences!

    A loss for Froch is not an option!

    I'm pretty sure he'll defend his belt until he loses again.

    So the answer is yes.

    love how people automatically discount Gonzales from this picture and don't even give him consideration not that you are personally but many are!

    Proper spanner in the works that for Fast Car and Degale!

    and a distinct possibility to boot!

    Yeah havent seen Gonzales (apart from what i say on Ringside last night) but unbeaten with same number of fights and a draw with Oosthuizen.

    I can also see a tough fight for DeGale but likely to be alot more motivated for this fight.
