I think the next move Carl needs to take is to fight a big name at 168 and in 2-3 fights time he will get a shot. He deserves it imo and i can only see Carl going forward in his carrer. IMO if Carl loses a fight soon he will face a lot of problems but i think he is going to succed at 168!
He holds no titles. He's beaten nobody of note. His mouth gets noticed more than his skills. Yet he's the man to beat at 168? Sure thing, kid. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Mmmm.

Who has Miguel Cotto beaten?

How many 'Champions' has he faced?

It's easy to dig around the likes of columbia and argentina and dig up a bunch of 16-0 fighters - then declare how Cotto has stopped them.

BUT

It's plain to see he is a top 10 fighter, it's all about what we see with our own eyes that leads us to our conclusions...

...Not padded records.

And for the record, the British domestic scene is very very tough - and Froch has cleaned up and won the Lonsdale belt outright (a belt of prestige) - not like these phony WBU, WBO & IBF belts (zab judah anyone?)

He will fight for the WBC soon, mark my words.
I don't know what this so-called Lonsdale belt means to UK ppl. But outside of the UK i'm pretty sure noone gives a feck.
I don't know why you expect us do be in ave of Froch "cleaning out" the british domestic scene. FFS his last opponent (Dodson) was rated sub top-100 SMW. British domestic may be tougher than many other domestic scenes. But it's still holds very little significance compared to stepping up to world level.
All this talk of Froch being ready to fight for genuine titles is completely unfounded. He needs to get at least a few top-20 names on his resume before it makes sense.
Untill then there are more deserving ppl who are also less annoying.

Someone the other day (maybe another forum) posted about ppl outside the UK being unable to respect queing in general as well as in regards to boxing. Well if anything Froch and his supporters are trying to jump the line here.
