If Calzaghe moves up Froch is in with a shout... been a bit inactive of late though (anyone know why?) David Haye will get his shot too and should be in with a good chance with that kind of punch, would like to see Nicky Cook do something round that aswell but have a horrible feeling he is going to end up being WBU or something.

WBU champ maybe...

Froch is in a tough division (he is at 168 isn't he?), a lot of great European and US prospects, he will be luck to become a titlist, and if he does, to defend it...

David Haye has the potential to be a great TV fighter, he needs a proper challenge against a young contender before the title challenge IMO...

I meant 'wbu' as in a mickey mouse title, he's pretty entertaining but not world class and the likes of Israel Vazquez would rape him and even a sloppy banger like Ponce De Leon would splatter him IMO...

I can think of two maybe three boxers in the world who can beat froch, remember he beat barny who but for a robbery would have been europian champion a weight devision above froch's. Think Lacy has the edge on him just and Calzaghe but only realy because of expereance.

Haye people seem to be assuming he will win a world title challenge if he turns up which I am not so confident of I think he is tallented but haven seen him dig deep yet. Haye Hobson would have told us a lot.

You can think of only two or three boxers who could beat Froch?
Here is a list of fighters around 160-168 who I would make odds-on against Froch:
Kessler
Calzaghe
Mundine
Andrade
Brahmer
Jermain Taylor
Arthur Abraham
Winky Wright

Fighters I would make slight favorites:
Beyer
Lacy
Jean Paul Mendy
Mario Veit

Fighters I would think are 50-50 with Froch
Lucian Bute
Allan Green
Sam Soliman
Otis Grant
Maybe even Kelly Pavlik

Arthur would have good chances on home soil against St Clair (or Baloyi, the two are rematching next.)

Nicky Cook. Solis is beatable. Havn't a clue what Lopez is like, and whether he will beat Chi or not.

Barney could of beat Froch, but he was only there to survive and take the pay that night shamefully.

I like Brahmer, but don't know what makes you thinks he'd be odds on to beat Froch? 50/50 more like, and a fight I'd love to see.
Both have that mean streak and are big hitters too.

I'm hoping Brahmer can make a fast comeback after the Veit defeat, but the clock is ticking....

The thing is Veit is nothing special but he is very competent, his misfortune is facing Calzaghe twice, a bad styles matchup for him, which has led to him underrated a little. Anyhoo, I think Brahmer's aggression would matchup with Froch better, who I don't rate too highly as is obvious

Are we talking titlists or genuine world champions?

To be honest I can't see anyone doing either.

I think Enzo Mac will beat Nelson, but then that is this year.

I give Nicky Cook a big chance vs the weaker Featherweight champions.

Alex Arthur has a chance vs St Clair

Thats about it.

Hunter will be fighting for the IBF title against Steve Molitor sooner rather than later.
