    it's all well and good Froch talking big, empty names like Chavez , but we'll see how relevant he is when he isn't a World champion. He'll probably retire by then , which would probably be about the most acceptable scenario.
    There is an elbow injury and Froch can't fight till the summer. He also doesn't want to fight Degale, so why make him wait around or fight for an interim belt if he's not likely to fight hum? Froch was being sound in vacating the belt so this gives Degale the opportunity instead of wasting time for Degale getting his shot

    Lets hope Andre sacks up if he gets the call. What an incredible speed vs speed fight this would be and both are southpaws. Usually I don't like southpaw pairings. Andre could restart what little hope I have left as a fan and jump on this realizing he's not really relevant. In addition he is calling out Carl so what better way to make a statement?

    I picked this guy to win the S6. Time to get back on that horse and stop scrubbing.

    Tam, if you genuinely believe he was doing it to be sound , then fair play to ya. but, if he has a genuine injury, after bending over backwards to satisfy the IBF by taking the Groves fights, don't you think he had a good case to go to the IBF and say, "Look , I'm injured at the minute , and when I come back , I think I deserve the right to a voluntary." especially after fighting the mandatory twice on the trot.
    He may be a sound guy (maybe not?), but he ain't so sound that he's gonna say "listen Chunky, I've got this elbow injury that'll keep me out for a month or 2 , so I don't want to hold up your career, you go for the title."
    that's bullshit, he doesn't give a flying fuck about Degale and I don't expect him to either.

    That's how i see it

    Of course Froch doesn't want to fight Degale next....High risk for shit money.

    If Degale has a belt then it's a different story.

    I heard Hearn is trying to get a Hopkins fight in the summer anyway, also i thought Froch (If genuinely injured) could apply to the IBF and get a few months grace due to the "Injury".

    I Love Froch but don't believe for a second that he's got any injury at all - the sneaky cunt

    Anyway who cares if he's blagging it.... he's more than earned his stripes.

    De Gale v Direll is a good fight and the winner fights Grove makes perfect sense and this sense up a fight with Froch.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Froch has had this injury for a while and he wasn't going I to fights 100% , why risk that for the twilight of your career and come in with a niggle? When you can be on the sidelines for a bit and have the recovery and perform better. It's disappointing but common sense. I'd prefer Froch to fight Hopkins, as it really like both fighters. Let Degale build himself even more, let him have the belt and then have a fight later on. It's good business if anything as Degales stock would have rose dramatically if he gets the belt and maybe defends it vs Groves in a potential unification if Groves beats the other Dirrell.
