    Beating Bika would win him the WBC strap; beating DeGale would get him the IBF mandatory spot; and beating Groves more convincingly than Froch would get people talking about a rubber match.
    The only big fights for Kessler is Froch, Ward, GGG or Chavez.

        To me there is a very logical three fight plan:

        Froch fights Chavez in Vegas, then Degale in England...

        in the same time frame...

        Kessler fights promotional stablemate Arthur Abraham in Germany and picks up a trinket, then fights Bika in Denmark and picks up another worthless alphabet trinket.

        That leads to a "unification" trilogy fight between Froch and Kessler which would be huge in Denmark, England, Germany, or Switzerland.

        Then both men retire one year from now very wealthy.

          It is no secret that that is the fight they want. What matters is what Froch wants. He can Call the shots. He has definetely earned that right.

            I'd like to see him face Chavez jr in Vegas and then Degale. Fighting Chavez jr he'll earn good money for a very winnable and entertaining fight......

              So no Ward, no LHW.
              Let's be honest,Froch already told Ward if they fight again he wants it over seas..It makes sense as well,they both make more money over there..Not to mention Froch has fought damn near everywhere,while Ward has not..It's time for Ward to do the right thing..

                The thing is that Hearn basically rules Ward out. Maybe its because of the promotional issues or Ward refusing to travel, or Froch (and the paying public) simply not being interested.

                  Awesome note to Call it a day on.
                  If he retires now, without headlining in Vegas, that rocking chair in days far off wont have the same comforting rhythm.

                    Get a nice payday agains Jr, get another payday against Kessler both very winnable fights. They are not going to fight Ward, they don't want any part of him.

                    If Triple G goes to 168 and looks impressive a Froch fight will be spectacular.

                    Unlike Calzghe, Froch has fought fighters in their prime. Win, lose or draw

                      Chavez is the smarter option, that's the most lucrative and winnable fight for him out f the three. After that I'd like to see him against DeGale, dangerous fight for him.
