    Froch already expressed interest in fighting Kessler again after Bute.

    Froch vs Kessler 2 in England would be amazing.

      Why? He already holds a W there. Now there's a chance for revenge against Ward and Ward will have to give up his belt to avoid it.

        Kessler would be well advised to take on Froch first

          Well put yourself in Sauerland's shoes. Kessler-Froch makes as much money and is the easier fight.

            Ward will no doubt vacate his title.......he will not risk a purse offer (which he Will loose). He knows he cannot headbutt his Way to victory in Denmark

              If I put myself in Sauerlands shoes I'd say that the Froch fight will always be there as Froch really wants redemption. Ward has to be forced. There will never be a better chance of a Ward fight than now.

                With all due respect, the fight with Froch was pretty close. A fight in the UK would give Froch a slight edge (think about both Froch & Kesslers home & away record).

                And they're both exciting.

                Watching Kessler get mauled, headbutted & outsped by Ward isn't exciting to think about.

                Watching Kessler & Froch go toe to toe for 12 rounds is. Very exciting indeed. I really don't care who wins. It's just good for the sport.

                  belts are meaningless once you made your name.

                  i would advise ward not to go to denmark so they can screw him via refs and judges.

                    Ward should just fight Kessler but this time not in Oakland or west coast

                      Is Denmark's reputation as bad as the USA's then?
