Froch is one of the best ticket sellers in the UK at the minute, he has the pulling power of David Haye in his hometown.
Thats all well and good, but he is 29, say it taakes him another 2 years to get a shot. He is no spring chicken. He needs to fight a top guy soon, or atleast test himself. Thats the trouble with british boxers they can make loads of cash without testing themselves.
Saying that, once you get past middleweight, these days guys can last until they're 34-35 no problem, Froch hasn't been beaten up much and his style isn't too much about speed so I think the age isn't too much of an issue.
