Next 2 opponents for Froch in 2014

Froch sells tickets, but people here love a big domestic fight and I think that was the overriding reason for the tickets disappearing in minutes. I would like to see Froch get the rematch with Ward over here. I would also like to see him and Kessler complete their head to head in a neutral venue.

Stieglitz, then Hopkins at LHW for his IBF title.

Who would like to see? Chavez and then God of War. Must see tv.

What would be totally strange is if he was to fight and beat both Bika and Stieglitz for their titles. He would effectively hold all the titles yet still be the number 2 man in the division.

I have a sneaky feeling he'll lose to Groves. I'm probably wrong. I had the same feeling about Danny Garcia beating Lucas Matthysse. I can't be right twice in a row. If he batters Groves I'd like to see a rematch against Andre Ward. Ward is a far superior boxer but if Froch has learnt anything from the first bout it's to jump on Ward. Better to lose by kayo than by water torture. Otherwise he & Martin Murray would be great fun. I think DeGale could beat Carl if he learns to throw more punches per round.

I know Froch is a good game fighter who fights tough guys. He does brag himself up so much though. He is his own biggest fan and he is very arrogant. He is always telling the world how he is the best UK fighter ever and better than Calzaghe. Why doesn't he just fight and leave it up to the fans to decide how good he is instead of always saying he is going to destroy his next opponent? He acts like Groves did something terrible when he sparred with Kessler. I know he is very popular but I want to see him lose and I think Groves has a good chance to beat him.If he beats Groves then I would like to see him fight Ward in neutral territory and find out who is the best at 168. Then I would like him to fight my favorite fighter GGG. Stieglitz would be my third choice for a Froch opponent. Froch should not have to fight 175 pounders because he is not that big. If he continues to fight the best at 168 that's good enough for me.

I Think if Degale sorts himself out and gets a couple of good wins i.e top 15 SMW and looks good then that fight would sell very well IMO. Then Steglitz to capture the WBO. Then Bika so he has the alpabets then hope ward moves up and grab the ring and WBA super and retire unified Champ.

Yeah I think it was Froch fans... For me he should try to win every Supermiddle title, so Stieglitz and Bika.

chavez jr and golovkin please. ward would beat him again, what's the point?

He's probably right about the tickets sold but it's also a good matchup and that does play a factor. Froch is definitely the draw though. As far as his next two opponents, I would like to see a Ward rematch. Both men should be looking for a rematch or they should move up to 175. The best case scenario imo would be Ward vs. Froch 2. Then Froch would move up and face the winner of Pascal/Bute.

Ward and degale

If Ward is willing and ready, that's the only fight he should be aiming for. The rest is filler.

It depends how many fights he actually wants before calling it a day. I think he's only a loss away from serious thoughts over retirement. Ward aside, i don't see anybody at 168 or below beating him. Froch is a huge draw in the UK now, so he can be thinking of big money-fights at this stage of his career. I'm not sure what sort of direction the Froch camp will go after the Groves fight (assuming he wins - which he should), but if he wants the fight in the UK he has some good domestic options with Murray and Degale (not big money fights), Kessler 3 (not high on my list as Kessler looks on the slide) or a barnburner with Bika being a unification. The only fights Froch will probably travel for, would be the winner of Bute/Pascal in Canada, Chavez Jr in Vegas (Jr's team probably won't want to risk it) or a Golovkin fight. Froch will only fight Ward in the UK, which if Ward does agree to, is at least 12 months away.

I dunno' if they're "ready" or "deserving" or if Froch "needs them", but my two picks would be Chavez Jr. and Golovkin. Of course Froch should be able to beat them both, but I think they would both be hellacious good brawls. With Jr. they could probably promote it well enough to make it quite an event. :boxing:

It'd be nice for Froch to have a night out in Vegas. And I'm thinking Chavez could be the man to make that happen. It'll be all about the money though, Murray could be a big fight in the UK as would Bute in Canada. Hell, the man has so many options...Golovkin would be great fun and it'd be pretty awesome, legacy wise, for Froch to finish off Groves and Degale before retiring. I wish he fought more than twice a year to be honest. Imo Froch could probably knock off Stieglitz and DeGale in 2014 as well as taking on one of the big guns.

I have always wanted to see him fight Sakio Bika. It would be great. Bika is just about the most aggressive fighter on that list and in front of a passionate Nottingham crowd Froch would accommodate him and they would both be swinging for the cheap seats at times. I know Bika is managed by Haymon now though so he'll probably be really looked after for a while. Chavez Jr would also be fun but I can't see how he could beat Froch.

Ticket sales were probs 75-25 in Froch's favour, He will probs want to rematch Groves after he loses.

Ward in the UK and Pascal in Canada (if he holds a belt). I think a Kessler III fight would be the most entertaiing, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the dane retiring.
