"Pavlik has been calling me out, so I'd like to shut him up.
"If we can get him over to Nottingham, that's one that fans would want."
"He's just one name, and there are a couple of other names that Eddie's looking at. We're looking at 3 November, or 10 November - they're the two dates that have been pencilled in."
"It gives me an opportunity to fight again in Nottingham and to defend the IBF title," Froch said. "So we're trying to find a feasible opponent - someone who's decent and ranked in the top five in the world.
"Then, in the new year, there's the re-match with Bute or a re-match with Mikkel Kessler, which to me is more appealing than the re-match with Bute.
What do you guys think of Pavlik vs Froch and who wins this?
I honeslty did not like Froch when he first burst onto the seen but after watching him fight and seeing that he will fight anybody I have to respect that. I am not a fan but he will throw down with anybody. Boxing needs more people like The Cobra. Oh yeah, he destroys pavlik. :boxing:
Bob Arum wants Pavlik v Bute or Kessler.
In light of that, can we really see KP travelling to Nottingham to fight Froch?
Froch said he was looking at a couple of other names, it would be interesting to hear who they are.
Funny how a guy who has never been KOed and lost twice by UDs is now so washed up to some of you! lol....at the Brit fans that think Kelly gonna get KOed by Carl if they were going to meet. Have to give the odds to Froch though, but by points not any KO. Kelly can take a beating and go 12 rds easily. Id say its a 65/35 chance for Froch :boxing:
Be careful what you wish for Kelly though you can not rule out Pavlik, hes a big, strong, tough motherphuga with very heavy hands.
Didn't look great in his last fight but his opponent was a tricky one. In fact though the favourite I only seen very few people saying Pavlik would win on here.
Froch will do weel against Pavlik
Froch only seem to have trouble with faster guys, and Pavlik is as slow as the come, and he dossent have the inside game to do what Ward did.
Cobra by TKO
Already agreed on rematch. Both guys get interim bouts.
I think Bute wants a tune up first, can't really blame the guy for that.
Nah I don't blame him, that first fight was brutal. So much so that I can't see any way out for Bute in a rematch, short of a perfectly placed body shot. And given his inability to get inside Froch's reach without getting battered, that's looking extremely slim.
Odd to see Pavlik relegated to "stay busy fight" status.
It will be good fight, but I think Carl wins it. I'm sure Pavlik will earn his money though. I wonder if Pavlik want to go to U.K though. With HBO behind him he probably hoped that Carl will travel.
