Froch has said he is and nobody in this thread has said that, but I have been bottling up my Froch views for several days. There are plenty of people defending the superstar stoppage and I find that appalling. Groves kicked his bum in an exceptional manner. I find it awful that the British Don King is negotiating a fight with others after this.

Froch = Liar
Hearn = Liar
Froch + Hearn = Good friends

HBO please tell them to fuck off.
I hear what you are saying. Thing is Hearn and maybe Froch himself must realize after that shellacking that he could lose the big pay day if he fights him a second time. He's a product of this environment after all and their reasoning fits with this eras version of "risk and reward." He's no different then most others. Rematching is not an exact science. Timing can be crucial and economics is the engine not legacy. The decision not to do an immediate rematch when it looked warranted certainly didn't begin with Hearn and Froch. Its happened countless times. Carl is at the end of his career and if anything sustained that for him, it was last week. He probably thought he was going to wreck the kid like everyone else did and trained accordingly. In the end he may be forced to fight Groves again but he's definitely in cash out mode. Ward might just shrug and freeze him out.
