Ignore all the rubbish about froch ducking degale..imo froch deserves a vegas fight and Im surprised they cant make this happen yet?!
What would you want froch to do at this stage of his career...i would love him to close the show on GGG beat chavez and ward end of 2015.
Either GGG or Junior are the two fights to make if I'm Froch. DeGale is a good guy on the come up too, but plays second fiddle to the other two options. If I'm Froch, I don't know if I face Ward again because it's not as much money as Junior, and a tougher fight to win than GGG.
Who knows what ward is like now.
Might be the best time to fight him?
Froch doesn't know what he wants to do... he wants Chavez, obviously for the money and less risk. But he probably won't get Chavez as Chavez can make bread on his own without Froch.
Froch doesn't want DeGale
Froch doesn't want Ward 2
Froch doesn't want Kessler
Froch doesn't want GGG
Froch doesn't want anyone at LH
Froch may as well retire.
I think Froch should do what he wants, he's earned it, but if I was him I'd come to the US, take a couple of fights away from Vegas to show everyone he wants to fight. I think he would do very well here, and probably wind up on PPV.
To say I want to fight in Vegas on PPV, and expect that to happen is the wrong approach.
Good luck to him either way.
He's not going to take a lower profile fight in hopes of building his profile in the states, there isn't anyone to do that against anyways really. He is 37, an all action fighter with a terrific record, and he's already fought there a few times. THe reality is he's not going to be the A side to any big fight in Vegas no matter what he does. If Chavez won't take the fight, I can't see how a domestic clash with DeGale isn't his best option.
I'd personally love to see him move up to 175 and challenge Adonis Stevenson in Montreal, mostly because I'd consider going to see it;D I wonder if that wouldn't be enticing for him though, he probably has a decent profile there from beating Bute already, who was very popular at home.
chavez doesnt DESERVE a fight with Froch, lets be honest. Froch will smoke GGG and win on points against Ward. Then retire. That is what I want.
I don't see the fascination with Vegas, I mean what does he have to prove? It's something he wants so he should go for it, the glamour, hype, attention, gaming, and rubbing shoulders with some high profile celebs might be irresistible.Quote:

I would like to see him fight Hopkins next.
Hes had a recent fight, well November. It was a 14 month gap before that one!Quote:

Agreed. Of course he has nothing to prove, but he has said he really wants to fight there and probably for those reasons. And hah hah, I was just saying it might be another option for him:p I think he'd beat Stevenson, but I've no idea if it would make any sense. Montreal is a great city for fights though, the atmosphere always seems electric and they really support their fighters.
Chavez doesn't "deserve" a fight with him, but that's irrelevant because he sells more tickets than anyone else in his weight class. Sadly, that would be the biggest fight he could take in Vegas or anywhere for that matter.
I wouldn't mind a Happy Ending, though.
I hope he doesn't look back sometime in the future, and wonder why he was so foolish.Quote:

He should have had at least 4 fights in that time. Bizarre.
Travel and fight. Come to Britain, fight Groves or DeGale. Even perenial opponents Paul Smith or Brian Magee.
Germany loves there big shows, he could fight Abraham or Steiglitz there.
Denmark, Kessler or Larsen.
Nice little tour of Europe to raise his profile. Thats what he could have been doing and right now hed have a bigger more recognisable name.
Froch has 3 good fights in him someone in Vegas, Kessler and Ward to clean that loss, even trying to rectify it he would get honour in defeat.
