Since Ward is busy and Bute needs to re-build I think this fight would make sense before the Kessler rematch.
Get a title at 175. Nice little notch on his belt.
Are there any roadblocks? Are they friends or perhaps have rival or the same promoter.
You're mistaken. Kessler weighed 169 and Green was 171.

Hmmm, Thanks for the correction. I guess I read it wrong.
Frank Warren, Cleverley's promoter offered the fight to Froch after he lost to Ward and also said on Saturday prior to the fight that offer still stood if froch lost to Bute, after the fight i'm not so sure they would want it.
Froch is with Sky Sports and Cleverly is with BoxNation so I doubt that happens.
Don't think Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren are on speaking terms either at the moment.
Froch has stated categorically he isn't moving up. I suspect his trainer has warned him that while he may have a great chin at 168 the same might not be true in a higher weight class.
But Cleverly is featherfisted at 175. I'm not talking about a permanent move. Just one fight.
why? What purpose does this serve? Kessler weighed only 169 pounds at his light heavyweight debut against Green, he will have no problems fighting froch at 168 in a massive fight.
To get a title at 175.
Kessler weighed 171.75 Green weighed 169.
But yeah they should fight at 168. I just want to see Froch capture a title at 175.
