    who else would he face but Chavez then?
    a Bika fight maybe, but can't think of anyone else
    don't believe a Ward rematch happens if it hasn't by now
    still wondering why Froch nor Ward have gone to LHW yet
    not much left for them to do at SMW if Froch beats Groves

      If its something he wants, hopefully he gets the chance as he's deserved it.

      Chavez in Vegas is a pretty good fight IMO. 2 come forward guys and Froch's first time in Vegas..i'd imagine it would sell well enough.

        If Froch beats Groves he might be able to continue fighting at Wembley with the right opponents, his stock will be very high and the public will want more.

        Unless Chavez beats Golovkin (unlikely) I don't see a viable fight for him in Las Vegas.

          It really does not matter if they win or lose their next fights, Chavez vs Froch in vegas is deff a makable fight and I can see it going down for sure.

            If there's no title at stake that fight won't sell. So Froch has to win or Chavez Jr has to pick up a belt somewhere, probably from the corrupt WBC.

              Surely he could defend his IBF strap?

                If he beats Groves. That's why I said Froch has to win that fight.

                Which is far from a given.

                  Froch in Vegas

                  I'm not a huge fan of Froch, but believe he has been good for boxing and the super middle weight division. I hope he does see his dream of fighting in Vegas come to fruition. I am not sure who the opponent would be though because I believe the opponent would have to be a big name to draw the numbers. Unfortunately, I don't see anyone with the star power to do this in this division. Andre Ward is the best and I don't even see him fighting Froch as having enough star power to be given the go ahead. Calzaghe was a star in his own right, but it took Jones Jr. and Hopkins for the American market to show any interest.
