Cliffs:
* almost completely rules out Kessler until next year
* says he's going to look at IBF rankings for alternative opponent
* discusses Khan fight, predicts a win for AK
IBF rankings below:
Super Middleweight (168 pounds)
Rank Name
Champion Carl Froch.
1 NOT RATED
2 Adonis Stevenson
3 Edwin Rodriguez
4 Thomas Oosthuizen
5 Lucian Bute
6 James DeGale
7 Mikkel Kessler
8 Kelly Pavlik
9 Sakio Bika
10 Glen Johnson
Pavlik, DeGale and Bika are probably the most attractive bouts name-wise but KP is likely to be fighting Kessler or Bute.
from a sales point of view degale is obviously a big draw in the UK, should get out of nottingham and up to manchester and bring the event to the people with Brook having a tune up on the undercard and gavin rees getting his title shot on the same night
Well, he didn't take any damage in his last fight so if he's feeling good I think Bika is a good matchup, he keeps you honest and will make Froch stay on top of his game. the possibility for a war is there so it will be good for fans as well..........he will always have issues with certain styles so I would not consider Rodriguez or Degale if they are trying to hold out to make 2-3 more big fights within the next calender year. not saying he wouldn't win, but i dont know if he looks good in those fights
