    I actually think Hearn is keen on the bout, he alluded to it being another stadium fight on IFL although it would obviously be more attractive if it was a unification bout.

    The Chavez Jr. Vegas option probably won't be open to Froch if JCC Jr. loses to Golovkin.

      Froch doesn't seem to rate DeGale. If the money is good which it probably would be for a unification, he'd fight him without much of an issue.

        I would root for him to beat Bika simply because it gives Ward options.

          I thought Bika clearly deserved the decision over Anthony Dirrell by the way.

            I think degeale beats bika but in an ugly contest and not as clearly as by rights you'd think he should (given that he looks slick and Bika looks ****)

              Yeah, DeGale has the ability to make him look silly but also has the ability to switch off and get hit.

                Bika is a stylistic nightmare for DeGale; my guess is that Bika falls behind early and then stops him. DeGale won't even get home advantage for this one, he has little drawing power and Hennessey as a promoter. Bika, TKO.

                  i thought he did enough to get DQed at least two times over, so there shouldnt have been a decision to begin with. got out of being ktfo by being dirty too, gets everything by being dirty. his whole style is built on it, his whole god damn career is built on rabbit punches, low blows, headbutts, holding and hitting etc.

                  cant stand his ass, dirrell knocks him the **** out in a rematch though so thats what im hoping is going to happen. as for the decision i do think dirrell should have got it, dont remember much from the fight other than being pissed over bikas dirtiness so i cant really argue why. but i know i had it for dirrell by a couple of points.

                    Bika is what he is. Many top fighters have had to cope with it.

                    I remember being extremely disappointed with Dirrell afterwards having heard all this stuff about how he was better than his brother. His brother is far more talented. Both are a bit b1tch-made though.

                      I think realistically if Degale wins he's going to want the Froch-Groves winner.

                      The winner of that could possibly fight Ward.
