    Froch has been running on fumes for a while now. He said way back in the Taylor fight that he wasn't planning on hanging around, that he was getting on in years and was going to make a big push for the top. Well now he's reached that top and fallen short in a pretty one-sided fight so it'll be interesting to see how his motivation's been affected. Froch doesn't strike me as someone who'd be content in second place so does he retire or try for a fight with Bute then a later rematch with Ward, pointless as that would be? The guy's stock's not really been affected by the loss. Everyone knew he was going to lose anyway and he's still wickedly entertaining to watch. After his gruelling schedule I wouldn't grudge him a long holiday followed by a homecoming fight. He's deserved it.

        I think a Kessler rematch is a priority of his, but he'll only have it in England, preferably a homecoming fight in Nottingham.

        Either that, or aim for a belt in another division, 175. A Pascal rematch, Cloud, or a winnable fight against Cleverly would be huge in Britain.

          Cloud - Froch would be a war!! Cloud is very inactive but can **** and loves to brawl. I would pay good good money for that fight. Imagine how awesome it would be if they fought in nottingham infront of Froch's home town. What a great evening that would be.

            If a Ward vs Bute match can't be made, id love to see Froch fight Bute. Defintely want to see a Kessler rematch also.

              The question you should be askiing yourself is where does everyone else besides the Cobra go from here. The Cobra treads where he may.

                Bute.

                If Bute is still scared then Froch should have a fight in Nottingham in April/May against a good contender opponent like Green, Bika, Oosthousen (spelling?).

                After that he should fight the winner of Stieglitz vs. Kessler for the WBO title.

                There's plenty of fights out there for him:

                - Kessler rematch
                - Bute
                - Stieglitz
                - Dirrell rematch
                - Bika
                - Oost..
                - Green

                  Ward not talking like he wants Bute right now.
                  exactly! i think it would be good to have Froch back with a title! i like Carl even in a loss he still showed allot of heart! And shows he still has the desire to work on things and come back. i think the best thing for him, is to take a small break get together with ward and spar, then get back out there and get Bute!
