CC for the thread mate...it does pose an interesting question about where Carl Froch can go if (probably) he can't make a megabucks fight with Joe Calzaghe.

I maintain, as I've said in another thread, that we can't really judge whether Lacy has a big future still in him until we see his comeback fight against Manfredo next month. That bout will give us a solid basis as to whether that shoulder has healed enough for him to still be a force. To confirm that, I think he needs to beat Manfredo in the first half of the fight, with at least a couple of knockdowns on the way.

If he does that, then I think he'll be a good opponent for Froch, who will have a good idea how to beat him having joined the millions of us who saw Calzaghe beat Lacy. And Kessler not a step forward for Froch Where's his head at.
