Now , there's been talk of a fight with Hopkins at the City Ground . I don't see what's in it for Hopkins (apart from money) if there's no belt at stake.
IF Degale won the title against Dirrell, and IF Froch wanted to fight him, I'd tell Froch to get fucked and arrange a fight with Groves.
it's all well and good Froch talking big, empty names like Chavez , but we'll see how relevant he is when he isn't a World champion. He'll probably retire by then , which would probably be about the most acceptable scenario.
There is an elbow injury and Froch can't fight till the summer. He also doesn't want to fight Degale, so why make him wait around or fight for an interim belt if he's not likely to fight hum? Froch was being sound in vacating the belt so this gives Degale the opportunity instead of wasting time for Degale getting his shot
