Mikkel Kessler wants to fight Carl Froch for a third time - in London or Copenhagen

[LacedUp]

I don't know nor care if that's true.

The Froch fight is his only payday RIGHT NOW.

I can tell you it's true. If not more.

I can also tell you that Kessler would probably make as much if not more than Froch will against Groves, fighting someone like Stieglitz or Abraham in Copenhagen. The guy is a major PPV attraction in Denmark, and unlike in the UK, his PPV goes for £60.

And he's a household name, which Froch still isn't.

And just so we are clear here, Froch made his highest payday vs Kessler. Not the other way around.

Yep. There we have it folks. Nobody is worthy of a fight with Ward. Ward is so good that he should just retire.

Apparently you didn't read my last sentence where I said Ward needs to move up and get in the mix with the top 175 lbers. I guess there's nobody to fight over there huh?

What exactly would Froch have else to do to earn a rematch against the untouchable Ward?

I don't know, it's tough to earn a rematch against a guy who thoroughly dominated you. Unifying the titles would be a good start.

Let's be clear here, Kessler needs Froch - Froch doesn't need Kessler.

Why does Kessler need Froch? Not for money purposes that's for damn sure.
Of course Froch is champion now, and Kessler isn't so that's obvious.

It's not tough at all when said guy hasn't fought in a year while you've been handling business by beating the other top fighters in the division.

Unifying the titles? So beat Steiglitz? Oh I'm sorry beating Bute and Kessler isn't enough but beating the formidable Steiglitz is?

Froch is his biggest payday and his biggest fight out there.

Yawn..... Wouldn't really want to see the third unless Kessler gets a good win. He had flashes of brilliance, but was pretty clearly not able to keep up with Carl in the rematch.

At this stage there's not one single fighter Froch can beat which would earn him a rematch with Ward, but the accumulation of worldclass fighters he beats (and the accumulation of titles) can earn him a rematch.

Froch has accumulated a list of world class fighters already. He has quite literally fought everyone that matters at 168. Including Bute who Ward refused to deal with himself and Kessler who had a win over him. There's no one left for Froch to beat.

As a whole, Froch's resume at 168 *****s on Wards. His resume is much deeper. Ward has 3 or 4 good wins, Froch has 6-7.

Froch is more than deserving of another shot.
