    Default Froch says he would rather retire than fight Degale - So what is Froch gonna do next?

    Can't see him retiring without a fight in Vegas or Nottingham Forest FC stadium (2 of his dreams) don't see him wanting Kessler 3 either and he says Degale isn't good enough....

    I personally would love to see him in with GGG but i don't think Golovkin wants any part of Froch at this point in his career (He dodged that question very well the other week)

    Talks with Bob Arum/Chavez are going "Slowly" says Eddie Hearn

    “We still have the same options of Chavez, James DeGale and Mikkel Kessler.” adds Hearn.

    Froch Says

    "If I can't fight in Vegas, I need a serious think about whether I want to finish by fighting DeGale, and beating him," Froch told BBC Radio Nottingham.
    "I don't know if I can get motivated to fight him. He's not good enough. If Vegas can't happen I'll seriously consider retiring."
    After knocking out Groves, Froch was undecided on whether he would fight again, but he is keen to "tick the final box" in his career, whether it is against Chavez Jr or another boxer in America.
    "I want to finish my career in Las Vegas, because it's not something I've done as a professional. I've done all the fighting that I can. I've achieved all I wanted to achieve. Now it's just about ticking a final box," he said.
    "To fight there like many of my heroes have before me would be phenomenal. All I want is the glamour side of it. I'm not too fussed about fame.
    "There are a couple of other fights out there for me in America so if there are options there I'd rather take that than fight DeGale."

    I don't see a Degale fight generating that much money at all...he was fighting in sports halls only last year

    If Degale won a belt then slightly different story but it would have to be in England that fight and again Froch is now only banging on about the US even though he said he'd love to fight at Nottingham Forests ground, maybe that dream has gone now he's filled Wembley Stadium with nearly 80,000 punters

    Really... Why?

    I just don't see how Degale generates £$£$£

    Don't get me wrong i think it would be a decent fight but Degale at present has fuck all fan base because he carries himself as an arrogant cunt and to be honest only looked good in his last fight.

    Froch needs a big one for his swansong - Degale is not it

    Has to be Vegas. Has to be

    I make him right. DeGale is not worth a fight. Not yet.

    Chavez all day long.

    just the domestic side of things


    froch v degale would generate enough interest


    might not fill Wembley but would fill the city ground at least id say


    degale might not get too many fans for his lesser fights but hes still a well known name


    might be wrong tho

    If any of you mugs come to Vegas for this, I'll meet you on the strip and we'll have at it with some drinks. I'll be sure to grab some fight tix as well, however mine will be In the back row of either MGM or Mandalay. I would pay to see Froch. He's earned it

    Can you sort out hookers?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    He should fight the winner of Bhop/Kovalev and go down as a better figher than JC was.

    1. Bhop beats him.
    2. Kovalev beats him.
    3. He'll never be better than JC as long as he's got a hole in his ass!

    If I'm Carl Froch, I try and fight Junior in Vegas for the money and then I either fight GGG or the winner of Bhop/Kovalev for the glory. But, Carl has had a tremendous career. Borderline HOF.
