I don't think its a case of running before you can walk at all, Froch is 30 and hes probably at his peak. Carl is ready for anyone in the world now and I hope hes in a constant flow of BIG fights from now on, its time to find out whether he sinks or swims in world class waters. I'm nearly as confident as Carl is, but as always 'Time Will Tell'.
Bring on Inkin, Bute, Braehmer, Lacy, Kessler, Miranda,Green, Mundine and co. Theres gonna be some serious Boots Smoking going on 8)
If Froch was an ELITE fighter, as opposed to good fighter, he would be up there by now, IMO. He is idling along to pick up after Calzaghe goes, and IMO will avoid Kessler if he can grab a belt along the way
Hes just said in Boxing Monthly that he wants Kessler, Froch won't duck anyone IMO. I'm sure there paths will cross in the not too distant
"I want Calzaghe, I want Kessler, I want GOD" but he's still treading water, and not even particularly high-level-water

I don't think you could contest that he has avoided fighting anyone where the oppertunity was there or that Calzaghe was keen to fight him.
In his last 10 fights he has KOed 9 of the opponents the other one being a good fighter at the weight above him and when he had a broken hand. Furthermore the last fore of them were all european title level contenders at least.

Yes thats right mate fighting Inkin in an World title eliminator in your 23rd fight is treading water!!! You're off your rocker. Kessler wasn't fighting people of Inkins quality til about his 36th fight when he fought Mundine in OZ.
Lets hope Kessler has more intention of fighting Froch than JC does

German's might have to put it all on Inkin, as nutcase Brahmer is up in court again as he slapped some bloke a few months back apparently.
He's on probation for a previous road rage incident, so things might not work out too well for him.
Funny as German TV try really hard to put him over as a nice guy, but just one look at his wild staring eyes and you know he's on the verge of losing it.

Heard the most incredible story about a road rage incident which happened locally about a week ago - Driver A cut up driver B who was so annoyed he chased driver A blasting his horn - Driver A pulled over and got out - Driver B pulled up behind and also got out leaving his car engine running - The two men mouthed off at each other ten feet apart - Just then two black lads saw their opportunity, jumped in driver Bs car and spead off - Suddenly driver A and driver B forgot their differences with driver B as passenger in driver As car in pursuit of the stolen vehicle.

haha that a funny tale
With regards Kessler, i think his style is more suited to Carl than vice versa.
Carl won a gold medal in an amateur show in Copenhagen, so figures he could go there and knock Kessler out in his own back yard as he loves the place.
I love Kessler and think he's a great fighter and has plenty more to off in the division.
Back to Inkin, if Froch can drop him with a headguard on in the amatuers as middleweights... then he will put the Ruskie to sleep as a 168lb pro.
