Thread: Froch to announce opponent on monday on sky sports news

Froch's Big Announcement; Donaire v. Soto; Barker News - Boxing News

looking forward to seeing who it is. Who do we all think its going to be ??

2 Adonis Stevenson Canada
3 Thomas Oosthuizen South Africa
4 Edwin Rodriguez United States
5 Lucian Bute Canada
6 James De Gale England
7 Mikkel Kessler Denmark
8 George Groves England
9 Kelly Pavlik United States
10 Donovan George United States
11 Anthony Dirrell United States
12 Librado Andrade United States
13 Benjamin Simon Germany
14 Pablo Farias Argentina
15 Rowland Bryant United States

thats the IBF top 15, I really wonder who its going to be out of these... I reckon Librando Andrade might get the shot, Froch was suppose to fight him but he fought Bute instead.

I reckon it's pavlik or tommy gunn, at a stretch it could be Andrade

Donovan George might too if he wins this weekend. Right? Makes for fun fights. Beatable.

I dont think it will be pavlik because he wont want to come here to get beaten, he would fight froch in the US but not here, unless they are paying him a fortune, which I dont think Eddie would.

it wont be Oosthuizen either look:Team Oosthuizen Turned Down Carl Froch Over Low Offer - Boxing News

He wants the fight in the US and wants more money.

It wont be Groves or Degale, so im thinking its going to be Andrade.

Pavlik is the best possible fight for Froch in terms of $, exposure, and risk/reward.

Well, what is the money they are talking? Pavlik is still a good name. He should be entitled to more than someone like Oosthuizen or Andrade clearly.

Yes I agree for Froch that would be the best fight possible out there on who's potentially available, but I've just got a feeling it won't happen for some reason.

Yeah let's hope Froch doesn't take another easy fight!😜

From that list the only fights I'd be interested in are Kessler, Pavlik, or Dirrell. Degale and Groves not ready and admit as much. The others I know little of except Bute of course but we know that aint happening. Had a look at their records and see little to suggest that it would be a worthwhile match up.

Perhaps Froch is struggling to to get someone to commit and will take on a lesser known opponent as he bides his time.

Don't know much about the sanctioning bodies but as he holds the IBF does he have to fight someone from their top 15?

Can't see him facing Dirrell and heard Kessler priced himself out. Possibly Pavlik but sure we would have heard something if that was the case as both are big names. If the Pavlik match is made no doubt their will be numerous postponements with Pavlik causing himself probs in the build up.

Hope its not an unkown.

Imagine that lol

This is how much fear froch inflicts on the division!!
Ward wouldn't fight froch again I bet that!!
Tommy gunn woulda jumped at a unification fight regardless of the money, these guys know they need their home judges and crowds where froch doesn't but deserves to fight at home out of his deserved efforts

I would enjoy seeing Pavlik vs Froch but any of the top ten would do. I've always liked Pavlik and want to know if he still has it.

Ward beat Froch every day of the week and if they paid Ward enough he would have no problem fighting him in the UK.
