does he get a pass on not fighting the young, fast, strong, undefeated, yet still relatively unproven mandatory challenger to his belt, Adonis Stevenson?
I know I"m being selfish because if ANY boxer has the right to take a soft touch, it's Froch. Look at the guy's resume over the past 3-4 years: Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler, Abraham, Johnson, Ward, Bute - back, to back, to back, to back, to back, toback, to back, to back. . . Christ, that's UNHEARD of in this era of boxing. Also, add Magee to that list, a boxer who I think is a legitimate top ten at 168. . .
So the Mack fight is excusable for Froch. Lol, I better not hear anybody say anything about this beast taking a softer touch.
SO yeah, if he chooses to just fight Bute, and Kessler, and then call it a day. No complaints from me. He's earned it.
I guess I'm just a little selfish in saying I'd LOVE to see Froch fight Stevenson. Wow, what a fight that would be. I think it resembles Froch/Pascal. Froch's experience, and timing, and reflexes would overcome Adonis' raw speed advantage.
Also, I'd love to see Froch fight Tavoris Cloud. That would be a FOTY. Froch is at his best when he's boxing off the back foot with the jab. He would take the role of boxer/matador in this fight. He's quite hte sharpshooter with his jab, straight, and 1-2, 1-2-3's as well. He's got a BRILLIANT up-jab he shoots up from his hip, blinding his opponent (they can't see it coming). Cloud is the type of style that makes Froch really shine, and reveal his hugely underrated pure-boxing skills.
But whatever Froch decides to do, I'm with him 100%. He's earned the right to fight whoever he wants from here on out as far as I'm concerned.
