Why? He clearly doesn't want to rematch Ward and clearly avoided Hopkins when Bernard called him out (multiple times). He also refuses to fight at 175.
He also pretends Ward doesn't exist... in the prelude to the Froch v. Kessler II fight he kept talking about how he and Kessler were the #1 and #2 guys in the division and the winner would be true champ. Froch is nothing but a perennial one division contender. If he could fight guys like Hopkins, Ward, Rodriguez, Stevenson, etc. if he wanted to instead of Groves or a future Kessler III fight.
It's good that he didn't avoid the Super Six Tournament though, I give him props for that.
