Comments Thread For: Hearn on HBO using Froch quote, Chavez Jr talks restart

[Dirk Diggler UK]

agree with this much ... it's not hard to understand ... both froch and GGG both have reasonable stances here. Froch will risk fighting GGG if it's worth it ... GGG will risk 168 if it's worth it etc. It's only obsessed fanboys arguing about ducking or whatever and making this into something it's not - nothing new for NSB there.

No because GGG is allowed to not fight Ward for financial reasons. But anyone who doesn't fight GGG for financial reasons is a coward/scared/duck etc etc

My guy won't fight your guy for financial reasons ... yup that's cool.
Your guy won't fight my guy for financial reasons ... that ducking coward!!

Seems perfectly logical and consistent to me.

Froch has better options. GGG needs that one big fight that will open the doors to other big fights.

It will be Froch-Kessler III next. Count on it.

Hopefully not. Kessler vs DeGale is what I'd like to see.

That one will never happen.

Why? Seems a logical fight. Eddie Hearn has said he'd love to make it. He also said something about a big fight he's going to announce soon that will surprise people. Kinda hoping it's DeGale-Kessler.

Kessler wants big fights only. DeGale is not a big fight. Nobody knows him.

While annoncing his comeback, Kessler called out Froch, GGG, Ward, Chávez. 3 of them is out of the Picture or at least nearly out. GGG wants to stay at 160. Ward turned down a return and Chávez was IMO a reach from the beginning.

Subsequently I think it is clear that the decider against Froch is the one that Kessler really wants. I believe that will happen in November in London.
