Ward if he wins the rematch Is the biggest fight out there for him, and I doubt he'd fight him again. Im suppose Degale could do some numbers here if marketed right. Then there's GGG, would they step up to 168?

Can't see it myself.

What I would say though is he still has a small fire to box imo but he only seems to let himself be tempted before getting real again. He said he wouldn't do 168 previously so you'd assume a fight would be at 175. This almost completely eliminates GGG.

Ward, very very unlikely. Froch didn't exactly chase ward after his defeat. Mentioned his name after he thumped Bute but he didn't exactly hound out a rematch. Doubtful he'd do it now after he's been retired.

Degale, said he wasn't motivated to fight him when he was champ post groves fight. Can't see that changing

Very doubtful he'd give groves a fight even if groves was champ

Kessler, the only small percent that may be possible. Still can't see it.

He's a good pundit Froch imo, but when talking super middleweights, the fighters arrogance comes back. He doesn't talk like this for fighters of other weights, except golovkin, though ggg was a muted opponent so the theory still fits. This to me suggests he still has small desire to fight, but realistically I doubt it

He's retired, lost all momentum. He'd be a sitting duck if he came back and take bad beatings.

If he came back it'd be like watching the unsuccessful late career challenges of Matthew Saad Muhammad or Danny Lopez (fellow, upright and easily hittable gladiators).

Ward was ringside in the UK for one of Froch's fights and was asking for the rematch and Froch didn't do it. Froch has also spoken very frankly about how good a boxer Ward is, and accurately stated he would probably loose again. Plus Does Ward get anyone excited?

I can't see it. Kessler retired after Froch beat him 4 years ago. Groves calling him out would be kinda fun. That first fight was great. Froch's also talked about "if" coming back would be at light heavy so no way would GGG match get done. Kovalev would be fun, but can see Froch ending career on the canvas on that one. IMHO Froch likes to talk about coming back for the craic of it and to stay in touch. I think he has too much sense to actually step back into the ring.
