Who next for Groves?

I would definitely love to watch a rematch with Froch.

should get the rematch. but probably won't.

I hope you are right, but with a un-problematic build up I'd see Groves winning in style ... Booth properly buggered him up in the run in to the fight and I think he knew it (hence the embrace at the end) Groves could definitely win, we know now he has the style to do it, but personally I think Froch breaks him down late again.

I genuinely think he said that because he feels there may be bigger fights out there and he just stopped Groves getting the job done, once he realises Groves rematch is the biggest fight then he'll take it imo. I'll be shocked if he ducks a rematch. I hope you are right, but with a un-problematic build up I'd see Groves winning in style ...

I thought he'd give a rematch... until he said 'I don't need to give anyone a rematch' I genuinely think he said that because he feels there may be bigger fights out there and he just stopped Groves getting the job done, once he realises Groves rematch is the biggest fight then he'll take it imo. I'll be shocked if he ducks a rematch. Think it might be Chavez Jr and then retirement in honesty, I think this and Kessler have just taken it out of him. Groves also isn't with Matchroom... and I got a suspicion he'll not go back to matchroom so the fight will be harder to make. Groves works on a fight by fight basis afaik, I'd say he'd be inclined to make one more fight for £3-4 million although Hearn will try to tie him down to a longer deal. The reason I think Froch won't retire is that he was asked by Ifilm and he didn't sound anywhere near ready to retire, he didn't even seem to think he got hit by many shots lol.

No chance in my opinion. He's not going to walk around with people saying he's ducked a rematch with Groves, it's just not his style. Too much pride. He doesn't sound ready to retire either. I think what we heard in the press conference was Froch feeling like he could move on to bigger and better things as he felt he got the job done, I don't think he realised at that point how big a rematch will be. I think HBO could pick it up too, they missed out on this one. I think it will be Groves first, then DeGale as he will likely be mandatory for the IBF. Just my two cents.

Robert Stieglitz should be his next fight, win the belt, which he will, then he can try and become undisputed at the weight, he will beat all of them apart from Andre ward ( at the moment) I have a funny feeling Mr Eddie hearn of match room will be his next promoter, and over here in the uk, eddie with matchroom has been brilliant for uk boxers. Froch won't do the rematch, he was battered and should get himself checked out before his next fight. Im just glad that Mr George Groves has finally hit the world stage, were he rightfully belongs

Listening to the post fight press conference it's quite clear McCracken and Froch don't want a rematch. I think Froch's next fight will be his last and he fights someone else.

Hopefully the IBF grow a pair and order a immediate rematch. If Froch doesn't give Groves a rematch, His legacy and 'warrior' tag will take a huge hit.

Destroy Froch first then take on Ward. :rofl: that would be a :spank: ing. Ward is so far above GG as to be a pointless fight.

Rob McCracken said Froch will be taking a long break.

I doubt he gets a rematch but a rematch should be ordered IMMEDIATELY If he don't get another shot at Froch than how about Robert Stieglitz or Kessler

Problem is with Froch is HBO are all over a fight with him and Chavez Jr or GGG and i think Hearn might get swayed by this. I wouldn't mind De Gale if only to shut him up! I'd prefer a title fight though

I say fight Golovkin just so we can call the fight 'G-Force'

They were talking about an interim fight on Sky for both fighters before a rematch. Beyond some stiff, there's surely no question that these two will rematch, it's the biggest money fight out there for Groves and possibly now for Froch too. I wouldn't like that. They should rematch straight away.

Rematch I have a feeling Froch is going to retire and run a mile from GG, he took a pasting tonight, totally out classed by the younger man. He said he didn't realize he had been KD until after the fight had finished Froch owes him a rematch or he should just retire, it'll be both their biggest pay day if it happens and Groves will have the crowd behind him this time around Not sure who Groves should sign with

He deserves the rematch but he probably won't get it. Kessler? He will, too much money involved will be3x the size of tonights fight.

Destroy Froch first then take on Ward.
