Froch's next fight

[Fenster]

It won't happen, but a fight with Groves would be interesting in the UK at least.

A fight with Ward seems pretty pointless to me no matter where they hold it. Ward is in a different class and has already beaten Froch very convincingly. Froch did well tonight, but anyone who thinks he could give Ward a serious fight is getting carried away.

To be honest I'd love to see him fight Kessler again on neutral ground, perhaps in the US.

Now there is a pointless fight. It's obvious Kessler is not what he was-due to inactivity, lost desire or whatever-unless your goal is to put money in Froch's pocket

I disagree. I think if you take away the first three rounds, then you have a very close fight between Kessler and Froch. I gave Kessler the first round, but I appear to be the only one who did so. I had the fight 115-113 Froch. That is no walk in the park. I thought the 118-110 card was retarded.

Kessler landed something astronomical like 55% of his power shots. He also landed a ton of jabs when he threw them. His left hook shook Carl Froch to his boots in the 11th. In fact, I would argue the better punches were landed by Kessler in the fight. I just think Froch controlled the pace better throughout the court of the night.

I would like to see a rubber match between the two.

I think an Andre Ward fight makes sense for the reason that it gives Froch an opportunity to avenge his loss. The problem is that I don't see it happening. I think Ward beats him again. Then he has his current momentum ruined.

Hopkins-Froch is interesting from a legacy perspective in comparison to Calzaghe because Calzaghe beat Hopkins. I see the point there.

Groves isn't a bad match-up either.

Bottom line for me, Kessler in a rubber match, Hopkins at 170, or Groves.

No it's not retarded, by your own admission you were in the minority scoring round one to Kessler. Doug Fischer, the The Ring writer, had Froch winning 115-113 but gave round 12 to Kessler, a round that the majority scored for Froch.

No way on earth the fight was as wide as 118-110, however, it is clearly rational to get scores like that when judging on a round by round basis. This is why we get so many silly cries of "robbery" every week
