    I doubt he gets a rematch but a rematch should be ordered IMMEDIATELY

    If he don't get another shot at Froch than how about Robert Stieglitz or Kessler

      Stadium fight in the summer, Stamford Bridge or Etihad would be good choices.

        Rob McCracken said Froch will be taking a long break.

          that would be a ing.

          Ward is so far above GG as to be a pointless fight.

            Hopefully the IBF grow a pair and order a immediate rematch.

            If Froch doesn't give Groves a rematch, His legacy and 'warrior' tag will take a huge hit.

              Listening to the post fight press conference it's quite clear McCracken and Froch don't want a rematch.

              I think Froch's next fight will be his last and he fights someone else.

                No chance in my opinion. He's not going to walk around with people saying he's ducked a rematch with Groves, it's just not his style. Too much pride. He doesn't sound ready to retire either.

                I think what we heard in the press conference was Froch feeling like he could move on to bigger and better things as he felt he got the job done, I don't think he realised at that point how big a rematch will be. I think HBO could pick it up too, they missed out on this one.

                I think it will be Groves first, then DeGale as he will likely be mandatory for the IBF. Just my two cents.

                  Robert Stieglitz should be his next fight, win the belt, which he will, then he can try and become undisputed at the weight, he will beat all of them apart from Andre ward ( at the moment)

                  I have a funny feeling Mr Eddie hearn of match room will be his next promoter, and over here in the uk, eddie with matchroom has been brilliant for uk boxers.

                  Froch won't do the rematch, he was battered and should get himself checked out before his next fight.

                  Im just glad that Mr George Groves has finally hit the world stage, were he rightfully belongs

                    I thought he'd give a rematch... until he said 'I don't need to give anyone a rematch'

                    Think it might be Chavez Jr and then retirement in honesty, I think this and Kessler have just taken it out of him.

                    Groves also isn't with Matchroom... and I got a su****ion he'll not go back to matchroom so the fight will be harder to make.

                      I genuinely think he said that because he feels there may be bigger fights out there and he just stopped Groves getting the job done, once he realises Groves rematch is the biggest fight then he'll take it imo.

                      I'll be shocked if he ducks a rematch.

                      Think it might be Chavez Jr and then retirement in honesty, I think this and Kessler have just taken it out of him.

                      Groves works on a fight by fight basis afaik, I'd say he'd be inclined to make one more fight for £3-4 million although Hearn will try to tie him down to a longer deal.

                      The reason I think Froch won't retire is that he was asked by Ifilm and he didn't sound anywhere near ready to retire, he didn't even seem to think he got hit by many shots lol.
