Froch is getting to the point where he's above titles now IMO, as everybody is aware of who the top names at 168 are. Fights with Bute,Kessler & Ward are BIG enough to happen without any titles at stake, he shouldn't be held to ransom by Stevenson and whichever pisspot board is trying to force the fight to happen
Will Ward come to the UK though? US TV already rejected Froch vs Bute in the past. Sky will want one of them to be a champion, so if Kessler beats Magee he better not vacate.
Ward's supposedly said he will travel to Nottingham (via twitter I think), but saying and doing are 2 very different things
