Not a bad call.
Stieglitz could do with the exposure.
That's what I'm thinking, putting him on the same card as Carl will only build his profile. Could even have the Stieglitz vs Kessler fight for the vacant WBC belt along with the WBO belt, which gives us the added bonus of the final fight of the mini "tourney" holding every single worthwhile belt at 168. That would be huge for the sport, it's been a while since anyone was officially "the man" according to all the major organisations. Might even help Ward sell more tickets if he can win this, which IMO at least, he probably would.
If Froch, does not take the rematch with Ward, i hope he stops the silly talk about being the best Brit fighter ever, he was well beaten the first time, and i`m pretty certain he`ll be well beaten the second time hence i doubt very much Froch will want anything to do with Ward when there are winnable fights against Kessler and Groves for him.
I voted for Groves. Think that would be a great fight, and tougher than many people think imo. Number two would be Cleverly at this point. Think Froch needs to do a major domestic dust up. And then number three is an epic final showdown with Kessler.
Froch vs Bute in their contracted rematch on a double header bill with Kessler vs Stieglitz, then the winners face off in yet another unification match to determine the rightful challenger for Ward, with that fight happening next year some time.

If Kessler/Froch III were to happen, I'd like to see Kessler come back and beat a top opponent beforehand to show he still has a bit to offer. But I think he is done..
Froch/Ward II in the UK would be closer I think. Would like to see how Ward performs under pressure in someone else's backyard for once.
A Hopkins fight would be interesting
No it wouldn't. It'd stink, just like every B-Hop fight.
Granted, the pre-fight trash talk would be GOLD, but the fight itself would be a nail in the coffin off Sky BoxOffice/PPV.
