I think Mikkel is too tired at the weight but I also think he may not be strong enough at light heavy. When he fought Green above super middle, he only weighed like 2lb over.

Maybe he was right about the Froch rematch and he did train too hard for too long and left it in the gym. He's not the first fighter to say this. Benn said it of one of his fights, the Malinga loss I think.

He was winning the fight after the 3rd round after hed warmed up and then tired over the last few rounds.

He may have an option of a catch weight fight if Froch loses in his now mandated IBF defence against Groves.
