CARL FROCH is edging towards a third fight with Mikkel Kessler on January 31 - and snubbing British rival James DeGale.
The Cobra, 37, is on the brink of agreeing a deal to face Dane Kessler at the O2 Arena rather than defend his world titles against DeGale in what could be his farewell fight.
Froch and Kessler have won one apiece in world super-middleweight title tussles.
The IBF and WBA champion will discuss his options with promoter Eddie Hearn on Tuesday but does not feel he could get motivated for a fight with DeGale, 28.

A fight with DeGale would be much more profitable in the U.K. Who cares about Kessler at this point.
5 million danes!!! He is a ****ing rockstar here!!! Lots of ppv money to share!!
DeGale was widely derided as a bum on NSB last year. Then he signs for Hearn, beats a very limited Brandon Gonzales and now all of a sudden he's the truth and Carl Froch is ducking him.
lololol
explain? kessler hasn't fought in nearly 1 1/2 years and coming off a loss, whilst degale is on fire. degale is a real challenge for froch. no one cares about kessler anymore. especially not a 3rd fight with froch.
DeGale is on fire ? :rofl::rofl::rofl:
no one wants to see froch - kessler 3 right now, kessler needs to build up his ranking again, he hasn't even fought since the last froch fight a year and a half back.. plus he got beat pretty easy by froch in the rematch and i thought froch beat him clearly enough the first time anyway, that was just a hometown robbery kessler got away with.
the only fight that matter now is Froch vs Degale, that's the only fight at 168 the boxing world is dying to see right now. i can't think of any other match up at 168 that is more meaningful and highly anticipated than Froch vs Degale! Lets do this for the fans, don't turn this into another Floyd-Pacquiao situation where it never gets made!
he calls himself a "modern day warrior". he's ducking degale if he takes the kessler fight. semi-retired kessler too. that's pathetic whichever way you cut it.
He has fought everyone. It's just pathetic to criticise him now if he doesn't fight James DeGale of all people and I'm probably DeGale's biggest fan on here.
Carl Froch has fought literally everyone in his weight division. To label him as the biggest joke in boxing is not only disrespectful, it's fuking retarded.

And forever, apparently, because there will always be another, and if he doesn't fight that one it's a "Calzaghe."
I don't get it, it's like the 5th time I've seen it.
Froch JUST fought Groves, twice.
Why do people keep saying this sh*t?
He just fought George Groves, the guy who was in the exact same position as Froch was with Calzaghe.
That right there is Froch doing exactly what Calzaghe wouldn't.
What's he supposed to do? Fight every single British fighter who gets I to a mandatory position?

I don't like the Kessler fight either but nothing is confirmed yet and Froch has earned the right to do what he wants.
Froch has already openly admitted to ducking GGG. GGG has said multiple times he'd love to fight Froch. We all know Golovkin being the warrior he is, would take that fight in a hearbeat.
While Froch would like to fight Kessler, a fighter who may as well be retired by now. GGG would kill Froch.
I actually don't hear GGG mention Froch's name at all. Froch has never ducked anyone.
Man.. Fuck Carl Froch.
All that **** he talked about Calzaghe not wanting to take the risk of fighting him before retiring, and now he's doing the same **** to James Degale? So he can fight a way-way-past-it guy he's already beaten?
That would be like Calzaghe finishing his career with a trilogy fight against Mario Viet.
LAME.

You just cemented your status as the biggest joke on this forum with that comment.

if froch goes for semi-retired kessler over degale then he's cemented his status as boxing's biggest joke (behind ward of course)

What? Kessler is irrelevant now.
Why is it okay for Froch to duck GGG? Froch is a disgusting Brit who looks like an overgrown hooligan and acts like one too. English people tend to be the worst people around, but an Englishman like Froch is the worst type of person possible. GGG would end the scum.
Man.. Fuck Carl Froch.

The only "disgusting" thing I see is your post.

Last time people said that he fought Groves, I suspect he'll fight DeGale too as it's in Hearn's interests to make the fight.

I'd prefer to see the DeGale fight myself but he just gave a youngish Groves two shots at it.
