I like Reid and do have concerns about him fighting this friday but on his day he would have too much for an untested prospect in his 30s but its because of Carls lack of decent opponents that I feel Reid has an excelent chance of shutting Froch up, I wouldnt even consider it an upset when he does

Reid longs for a Calzaghe rematch, it is possible that beating Froch may give him that but Joe is now interested in becoming as big a star as he can, he has proved he can beat the best around 10 years ago and today and that is awesome but to fight Reid would be just a good domestic match, other than that Reid could land himself with a fight against Kessler for the vacant title
