Joe's pretty much said that he's got one fight to go, and Warren recently announced that there are only three possible opponents being looked at, and those are Roy Jones Jr, Antonio Tarver and Kelly Pavlik, with Jones Jr their favoured option.

All the move to make Froch the mandatory does is mean that Froch will get to challenge for the vacant belt when Calzaghe decides that he can get it off the mantlepiece and send it back to the WBC. As HattontheHammer said, the fight would mean little for Joe's legacy, and wouldn't make as much money as other fights against bigger names.

If this happens I'll cut off my left testicle, fry it up with some liver and onions, and eat it for supper the day before the fight.
