    Where's all this "Froch doesn't want any of Ward" come from? All i've heard from Froch is how he wants to avenge his defeats. Are you guys mixing Froch up with someone else? You're talking about Carl Froch here.

    I'd love to see a rematch. The first fight wasn't boring. If anyone deserves a rematch it's Carl Froch.

    I'm a huge Froch fan but even I won't discount Kessler in the rematch. That's a tough tough fight for him. If Froch gets through Kessler, that's both Bute and Kessler he has beaten, and aside from himself, there's noone better in the division to fight.

    I do bare in mind that if Froch-Kessler 2 is close eitherway fight like the first one, we may see a trilogy before a Ward showdown

      Completely agree. Not like there's anything else out there for Ward.

        Atlantic City=Oakland now?

        There's more space between those two cities than anywhere in the UK to lumping Italy. Atlantic City was in no way, whatsoever, Ward's home turf.

          Just as a fight in London wouldn't be Froch's turf.

            Here's the funny thing, Froch never needed to earn a rematch with Ward. Ward is the one begging Froch to fight him, he's the one chasing other fighters around and being left out.

            Got to feel sorry for Ward though, finally on top and there is no one there to challenge him.

              Ward could sit back on this win, he already put in his work... but eventually he might really want the rematch himself. No slight to him, but Froch remains the best win on his resume. I don't see why Carl would want to make it now because he could get a little more leverage and make the fight on some of his terms, and possibly at LHW.

              It would be great to see it if Froch can beat Kessler and then take a risky fight with Hopkins and see how that goes. Because that fight stands on it's own for Froch's legacy and is also a good gauge style wise. Obviously Hopkins is not a tune-up in anyway whatsoever, never will be. But if he somehow dominates Hopkins then it's good for him as it relates to Calzaghe..as well as against Ward, who although holding a win over Froch, may never fight B-Hop.

              So then, if he feels like it, he can look Ward's way and throw out an offer for a rematch on his terms not giving a **** because he just reeled off another run

                If Froch CAN move up to LHW I think he can do some damage there. Only Hopkins and Dawson could beat him

                    Froch has people to fight, The question is who is Ward going to fight next?

                      As the bigger money fight, I think Froch v Hopkins will take precedence over Froch v Ward.
