    Other than a Ward rematch, there isn't many options at 168 that could fulfill Froch's last few fights to seal a legacy. Perhaps Stieglitz.....but nobodies clamouring for that.

    Groves would provide a big domestic dust-up, and Froch would be a big favourite, no matter how much more skilled Groves looks. He hasn't been in with the class of Froch yet, but i think he's ready to step up to the next level.

    Cleverley makes sense too, because not only will it be huge domestically, it'll provide Froch with a chance to become a 2 weight champ, enhancing that legacy. I just don't see that happening with Warren/Hearn beef.
    Froch's legacy is sealed at this point.

    He probably has the best resume in 168 history (At the moment), 4 time world Champion and is most likely heading into the HOF.

        mmm, I'm a big fan of George Groves, I think he is way better than he gets credit for, but I am not liking this change in his personality. I don't really think trash talk suits him and he should just concentrate on knocking guys out and letting his fists do the talking. Clearly Eddie Hearn is looking to build up a rivalry between the two ahead of a future fight down the line and I think Hearn needs to be careful. The British public turned against James Degale when he started acting like an arse, It would be a shame to see Groves go down that road. For the most part the British public warm to likeable guys that they can identify with.

        Anyway, for the record I think Groves has enough to beat Froch somewhere down the line, but not now, it really isn't a fight I'm interested in just yet and I suspect neither is Eddie Hearn. I would imagine Hearn plans to set up 2 or 3 more big fights for Froch, and then have a domestic superfight with Groves maybe late 2014/early2015 which could act as a handing over of the baton were Froch to lose.
        Groves should go after the very beatable Stieglitz while Froch fights Ward. Then at the very least there would be a WBO title on the line for them to meet each other in the next fight after that.

          Eh, big fan of Froch but wouldn't say he's HoF worthy. Ward's going to easily surpass his resume too.

            Groves sounds like he's been hanging around Fury

              If Groves had acted like this much of a prick before the DeGale fight, Im almost sure he wouldn't have got that undeserved gift decision.

                    Groves got a gift in the amateurs too. That's why he wants no part of DeGale again. He's trying to piggy back off Froch's success while he fights complete bums.
