whats next for Carl Froch now?

I know B-Hop just lose to Chad at 175. But I'm from Philly, so I got to ask. Why not B-Hop? B-Hop might can make Froch the most money of his career.

2nd, what about a rematch with Dirrell? Dirrell win was very close.

For me Hopkins would be very risky, Froch would do well to use his pressure and his great fitness levels would help him too but Hopkins is a crafty fighter, Froch doesn't always perform well against boxer types so yes it would be a good payday but could spell a short title reign. Also Hopkins would have to travel, maybe something he would be wiling to to do at this stage after losing to Dawson but I wouldn't advise Froch to travel for it. I can see where you are coming from though. I would pick Froch to win but would be a big risk to take.

Dirrell? now that's another matter. That was an excellent, close fight it could have gone either way at the end. No controversy for me as it depends on how you score fights. I'm sure Froch promised Dirrell a rematch, and he deserves one, he might feel obliged to honour that promise now that the super 6 is over and he has a title again. A very tough fight, 50/50. Again Froch is champ is going to travel for it. hmmmm. Would be a good match, also very risky.

I think Froch deserves to feast on a easy challenge or 2 for the rest of the year then go for it next year. There's a lot of fights out there for him right now.

He has an option unless the Bute rematch clause was immediate. Top 15 in 90 to 110 days. His win bumps Stevenson into the mandatory position.
