Same.
Cleverly won't be in with anyone dangerous anytime soon.
I imagine Warren will have him fight no hopers most of his career and rack up pointless title defenses then put him in a handful of legit fights at the end of his career then call him great like one of his fellow countrymen.Comment

So...
Stevenson - has to beat Dirrell
Stieglitz - has to beat Abraham
Groves - no
Barker - no
Cleverly - no
Hopkins - no
Oosthuizen - unlikely
DeGale - ?
Andrade - ?
Bika - possibly
nothing too exciting on that list.Comment

terrible fight. andrade was never on frochs level, now hes spent from a career of taking punishment and cant even take a punch anymore. he damn sure cant avoid one.
froch would walk right through him in a 3 rounds or less one sided ass whuppin'.Comment

If Groves does the business against Sierra (and in style) I'd say that would be a great match up. Groves is a 'name' in the UK after his DeGale bout (remember the HUGE build up?), has a great KO %age & trained by Adam Booth who also knows how to promote a bout. I think it would sell well. We may not think it at the time as George has been out of the ring since November but one decent/spectacular win & I think this fight could sell 15,000/20,000 tickets in October.
There's an argument that Groves is still too green but even a good showing in a loss wouldn't hurt his career too much & I'd certainly have him a 'live' underdog. Remember, before the Bute destruction Carl had only stopped Shaky Jermain Taylor in seven bouts (admittedly against A+ opposition).
They could even hold the Haye - Chisora rematch on the undercard

There isn't anybody left or anybody that will be available really...
Barker is at middleweight, coming off a K.O loss to Sergio and is scheduled for September so not sure why hes being mentioned really.
But I do have a suggestion on the basis nobody else is ready & that is a very heavy handed, undefeated Argentinian by the name of Ezequiel Maderna who is destroying guys but again it would be a huge step up in class for him.
Magee rematch is pointless though I do feel hes improved.
Karoly Balzsay would sell well in Germany & is coming off some impressive wins.
Froch vs Kessler rematch is the only fight that makes sense to me at this stage.
Have that & Pavlik vs Bute.Comment
