Comments Thread For: Carl Froch Had Lined Up Yusaf Mack, But He Fell Through

Bika is, Pavlik isn't. If the Pavlik fight could be made then it would be. I think Froch will bypass Bika and take an easier opponent. IMO Hearn is looking at the long game of Bute II and Kessler II. So why is it alright for him to do that, when other fighters get crucified for doing the same thing???

I've never gotten that vibe from Froch though, he seems like he enjoys a challenge and he has 100% confidence in his ability.

Sakio Bika is available, so is Kelly Pavlik. Bika is, Pavlik isn't. If the Pavlik fight could be made then it would be. I think Froch will bypass Bika and take an easier opponent. IMO Hearn is looking at the long game of Bute II and Kessler II.

Froch-Groves is not going to happen so people need to stop using it as an option. Seems there's literally no one from him to fight at the moment. Sakio Bika is available, so is Kelly Pavlik.

I have faith a credible opponent will be found. The 168lb is a strong division and could offer potential fights such as; Balzsay-Froch Stieglitz-Froch Bika-Froch Andrade-Froch Hopefully Froch does not stray too far from these sorts of fights, don't like the idea of him fighting someone like Sartison or St Juste. Balzsay is a good shout. Dont think he has a fight lined up

Bika is available.

i will be going to the gym where mack trains to start some ****. how does macks team not get it done for a title shot. if would be a tough fight to win but you have a big opportunity in front of you so get a deal done. even if it is for peanuts. i am disapointed.

Glad to see this fight did not get made, Mack is not worthy of a title shot of any kind at this point and has done nothing to warrant a shot.

They didn't want to fight in Nottingham, either. I didn't know that. A little known challenger refusing to fight a famous champ in his hometown? LOL did they expect Froch to fight in south africa?

if it was money, they would have said it was money "he's not ready" is basically admitting to ducking, you wouldn't say it unless it was true, it makes no sense So going by your logic, Cotto was ducking Floyd in 05-06 when Top Rank said he wasn't ready, and Hatton ducked Floyd in 05' when Hatton's team said he wasn't ready. Right??? Doesn't matter, because both fights happened anyway, but still going by your logic.

Carl Froch would KO Stevenson, but it'd be a solid fight for Froch. Froch vs. Bika/Groves/Stevenson/Pavlik, any of those would be good.

I'd be down. Carl vs. Adonis sounds good to me.

yusuf mack!?!? that guy is gatekeeper to gatekeepers!! i wouldn't have minded froch taking this fight when mack was still 26-30 years old but imo hes past it now. appreciate that froch has a tough run since 08 but surely they can find a more credible opponent than mack attack.

Nah Oosthuizen turned him down because the money was too low : http://www.boxingscene.com/team-oosthuizen-turned-down-carl-froch-over-low-offer--56121 How about Sakio Bika? That would be a hell of a fight. They didn't want to fight in Nottingham, either.

Who's fault was it for falling through? Oosthiezen's people didn't think he was ready. Nah Oosthuizen turned him down because the money was too low : http://www.boxingscene.com/team-oosthuizen-turned-down-carl-froch-over-low-offer--56121 How about Sakio Bika? That would be a hell of a fight.

Last I heard MaGee was fighting Andre Dirrell in the USA. If he get's past him I wanna see him in with Thomas Oosthuizen.
