Get through Mack in November , which I'm sure he will. And then face and beat Bute again in Canada. The plan Eddie has from him is to fight Kessler again in the summer which is the fight Froch needs really. If Froch can get through this do you think he should retire?? Or do you think he would want another shot at Ward? Can anybody see him campaigning at 175? I'm curious to see where he goes after the potential Kessler showdown
No more than 3 future fights for froch IMO.
Kessler, mack and bute then out.
I think he will go for a couple more belts and maybe ward. He will want to fight ward before he ends his career as he knows deep down that he has what it takes to beat him, boxing ward is not the answer and Dawson will learn this. You have to know how to fight inside to win.
it would be a pitty to see froch retire coz i have enjoyed his career a lot
i wouldnt want to see him go on too long and get blasted a couple of times tho
perhaps 3 or 4 more
although id watch all the way :)
If wonder if big money would tempt him to carry onQuote:

Same as! I remember reading his victory in against Henry porras years ago in his us debut! His chin and fitness and general toughness would take him into his 40's easily at top level. He is easy smarter than ward in every area but due to being slower let him down.Quote:

Even if he loses that a fight with Ward in Nottingham would still be viable but Ward will almost certainly make him go to Oakland or wherever he fights and Froch would be on the thin end of the purse. So he might fight Ward for the glory if he really think he has a chance or else just have another Mack-type fight and go out on a win.Quote:

He loads up and waits too much. He has the stamina and strength to give anyone a hard fight but doent have the skills to piss around waiting.
Id say do Bute again, then try Ward while still fresh, not Kessler and have a tough draining fight because we will all want to see a Kessler fight after that win or lose and at least he would have fought Ward who want be hitting him with shots that Kessler would and this will prolong his career to the point where he can have the final fight against Kessler and hopefully for him win.
Hope that makes sense:p
What im trying to say is Froch should fight Ward before any draining Kessler fight. Get in with Ward and throw everything at him like he did to Bute. Give him a tough time like Bika did but do it from the start!
Then have the big momey rematch with Kessler.
Mack first, Bute return fight , comfortable win again, then the fight he craves against
Kessler, which i have no doubt will be another cracking fight, but this time the Cobra
kicks his Dane arse;D.Then i hope he has a rematch with Andre Ward as his final
fight. Froch will be a big underdog,but he should go hell for leather in a all out war
and may the best man win ............. Froch ;)
... after he loses to Ward he campaigns at light heavy losing Cleverly and goes down and challenges De Gale who he beats and loses to Groves.
