Why can't froch fight Stieglitz?? If Kessler is injured then froch could take that belt

I say he has alot options but the top 3 in my opinion would be. Bute, Kessler and maybe Pavlik if he can get his demons under control.

Stieglitz is signed to fight Kessler in April. It really depends on Froch. Froch shouldn't fight at 175 if he can still make 168. Plus Pascal has Sillakh as a mandatory and if he fights Froch, he gives up the the possibility to get another crack at the title. Froch should stay at 168 and see if he can get $1.5-$2 for a fight with Bute in Montreal. Of course Froch deserves a rest too. I can see that happening. Someone said Kelly Pavlik. Frankly, that's not a bad idea if Pavlik gets his act together and takes a warm up in the Spring. Kessler and Pavlik would not happen until the Summer/Fall. Bute could happen in the Spring if Froch wanted it. It comes down to whether Froch would prefer a fight with Kessler or Bute. Oddly, with Ward looking like he doesn't want to fight Bute next, if Froch doesn't face him, Bute could be once again lacking a top quality opponent. Who else could he fight?

I think Froch-Bute is the next fight for 3 reasons:

1) JEan BEdard, who's working for INterbox said that a fight with Froch would be easier to make than a fight with Ward and that it has been in the airs for a while. They even went to new-York to look at the possibilities here in order to organize the whole bout on a neutral ground and because many fans from Montreal could easily make the trip to New-York.

2) Froch threw a lot of darts to Bute lately and called him out a few times.

3)Ward in interview said that Bute doesn't deserve to fight him and that he should first fight another member of the super 6, saying that Froch would like that fight or that Dirrell would be available.

Personally, I think that the table is dressed in that direction.

Froch says he wants Bute home and away although I do not think Froch could draw too many fans from here as he has fought largely away and not been on mainstream TV for years unfortunately. Froch also wants to fight Kessler.
