I'm a big Froch fan, but i'm not convinced he'll beat Ward. He's someone you can never write off, but i think a Ward points victory is the most likely outcome. However, his first defeat doesn't appear to have effected him too badly, and win, lose or draw with Ward i'd give Froch at least a 50/50 chance against Bute or Kessler.

It's a shame he isn't three or four years younger, really, because there are so many good fights out there for him still. Kessler's the one. I hope we can get him over to England. Carl might be pushing 36 by the time that happens. It'd be a tear-up, and could prove a fitting finale.
