    They should fight in Oakland.

      Everybody seem to think Kessler is shot. I doubt Ward does as he saw Froch-Kessler II as a draw, but if he does, he should fight Kessler in Copenhagen as a tune up after his shoulderinjury.

      That way he'd pick up a career pay day, silence some critics and sharpen himself for a Froch return in Nottingham.

        The 2nd fight was very entertaining, but I don't want to see a rubber match. I'd rather see Froch in against Stevenson, if Stevenson was interested in still fighting at 168.

          Yesterday evening Froch just said that the Ward rematch is the only fight he really wants -- but after 2-3 fights from now.

            I have no interest in a 3rd fight -- what would it prove? -- Froch is clearly the better fighter at this point -- it would be a low risk, good money fight for Froch I guess but not significant in any other way....

              This ^^^^^^^^^^^.

              Any future Froch-Kessler fight should be on neutral ground, though.

                This is the fight that froch wants cause he knows he should win. I have no interest in this fight.

                  If Kessler fought harder he should beat that guy but these guys never go all out! They want to land on their feet at the end, get paid, then go home!
                  If he listened to his corner (Jimmy Montoya) Kessler could have been in there to win but he didn't!
                  I think they should fight in Sibera for the locals (no ppv) and then sell pop corn in between rounds! These guys would have a tuff time selling tickets anywhere but their home area!!! Their ordinary at best and neither belongs in the ring with real talented fighters! I know the Froch guy is in there trying to his credit but honestly he is limited on the talent pole! They look like club fighters from the 70's!
                  can you imagine these young men in with Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore, Bob Foster, Saad Muhamed, Mike Spinks etc come on these guys are good fringe talents but the fact that their top contenders now tells you where the sport is above 160lbs...................its No Wheres! Ray.

                    As above not an interesting fight. I was surprised to hear some declaring Froch-Kessler II a Fight of the Year candidate. Not at all.

                    I can't see Froch with his untamed style beating a slickster like Ward ever, although I hope that he could through sheer force of will.

                    He should fight Cleverly or Hopkins. Cleverly would be massive in the U.K and it is the better fight.

                      I would do kessler 3 because of it being a money fight

                      Then move on to bigger fights like ward or chavez jr, cleverly etc
