i think that it would be a great fight for froch and a big money fight for both of them. obviously froch would jump at the chance to make the fight but chavez is a different story. when does his TR contract expire? i know that he has been having disputes with bob. even though he isnt a great fighter, i dont think that he blatantly ducks fighters. he was just brought along slowly. i think without bob in the way, this fight gets made.
Even if it does I see a one sided pounding.Quote:

Im not so sure now. Chavez does have a good chin and does let his hands go. Is he strong enough to push Carl back and hurt him? He will catch him. He has stamina so it will make a good fight at least.Quote:

I don't think Chavez is strong at super middle. His size was his main advantage at middle and he is giving that up at super middle. If Chavez beat Froch it would show how weak the div is and bring Wards spot in tr P4P lists into debate
Good fight to make. But if I were Froch, I would smartly set some conditions:
1. The fight's made in England (Junior needs to be forcibly removed from the Mexico/Texas/Las Vegas area).
2. The weight limit is strictly enforced, and Junior is closely monitored for any shady business with diuretics or anything else that will allow him to show up 30 pounds heavier than Froch at fight time.
3. Obviously by setting the fight in the UK, Laurence Cole would not be anywhere near the ring action. This is a must.
With all conditions being equal, Froch would beat the living snot out of Baby Chavez. While it lasted, it would be a pretty good fight.
I agree, he's not as bad or as good as the hater/lovers would have us believe. His experience would be a plus.Quote:

Really the whole thing would depend on Chavez, does he take the fight seriously and train or not. It's hard to say what he will do. A lot of unfocused and wasted talent there, as we all know.
A rematch with Ward should happen.
Its the most likely option for Froch next. He wants to fight in Vegas, but also win. I doubt he'd beat Ward but a Froch - Chavez fight is both winable and sellable.
I don't know about that, we want to see good fights. Ward is very good at what he does plus layoffs don't seem to hinder him.Quote:

A possibly boring fight that I would watch for sure.
Why is Chavez even an opponent? His name? What does the fight do for Carl at this point in his career? And how did Chavez get his mandatory ranking in both the WBC and WBO?

The best fight out there for Ward is Bika. He has a belt and had Ward hurt. Hes the most likely to go for broke and make it uncomfortable for Ward.Quote:

His recent run of fights is impressive for a veteran! Hos last 3 fights have been against unbeaten, world rated 20 somethings. The mans a machine and has done more than any other super middle the past year or so.
Damn, my friend!! Does Chavez get to pick his trainer? or the cereal he eats? LOLQuote:

3. Gives him a chance to fight in Vegas and boost his HOF chances as well as his profile in the US via Jr's association with the name Chavez
4. A combination of the marketability of pink underwear and magic. Mostly backhanders and shady dealings though.
I get what youre saying buts its a moot point. The whole point in fighting Chavez in the first place is cos its a Vegas fight. Froch has no interest in fighting Chavez outside of Vegas. Only reason Chavez is even on Frochs radar is cos hes a draw in Vegas. Im sure Froch would much rather fight a more deserving opponent but who else can do a Vegas fight at these weights?Quote:
