A fight with Ward seems pretty pointless to me no matter where they hold it. Ward is in a different class and has already beaten Froch very convincingly. Froch did well tonight, but anyone who thinks he could give Ward a serious fight is getting carried away.

To be honest I'd love to see him fight Kessler again on neutral ground, perhaps in the US.
Now there is a pointless fight. It's obvious Kessler is not what he was-due to inactivity, lost desire or whatever-unless your goal is to put money in Froch's pocket

I disagree. I think if you take away the first three rounds, then you have a very close fight between Kessler and Froch. I gave Kessler the first round, but I appear to be the only one who did so. I had the fight 115-113 Froch. That is no walk in the park. I thought the 118-110 card was retarded.

Kessler landed something astronomical like 55% of his power shots. He also landed a ton of jabs when he threw them. His left hook shook Carl Froch to his boots in the 11th. In fact, I would argue the better punches were landed by Kessler in the fight. I just think Froch controlled the pace better throughout the court of the night.

I would like to see a rubber match between the two.

I think an Andre Ward fight makes sense for the reason that it gives Froch an opportunity to avenge his loss. The problem is that I don't see it happening. I think Ward beats him again. Then he has his current momentum ruined.

Hopkins-Froch is interesting from a legacy perspective in comparison to Calzaghe because Calzaghe beat Hopkins. I see the point there.

Groves isn't a bad match-up either.

Bottom line for me, Kessler in a rubber match, Hopkins at 170, or Groves.
Agree on Froch-Kessler, I had it 115-113 too. When Kessler started slipping the jab after 3-4 rounds he had a lot of success, landed some great shots. It was a close but clear win for Froch for me. I'd be more interested in seeing a 3rd fight over a Ward rematch.

I'd rather see a Cleverly fight than a Hopkins one too - though I know it's highly unlikely to happen. I don't see the appeal in fighting Hopkins, it's almost guaranteed to be an ugly fight and how much credit would Froch really be given for beating a 50 year old man? And if he lost...

I don't see a Groves fight happening anytime soon, I think they'll look to get Groves in with Stieglitz next to try and get a strap, have him defend it a few times and look to build him for a fight with Froch in a few years time.
