What an absolute hero and warrior Carl Froch is.  He never ducks a fight, puts in 110% every single time and gets it done.  So many other sportsmen could learn from him.

Legends both of them, really classy from start to finish in every way.

Kessler just had what might be the last fight of his career, taken 100 punches in the face, has handed over his belt and immediately gives a glowing interview, smiling, in a foreign language.

Whilst it would be good for Froch to have a second shot against Ward, I don't see that being a contest like a rematch would.

Really don't know where Froch goes from here tbh.  Kessler doesn't look too keen on a rematch and I got the sense he might be done.  Rob McCracken really didn't sound too keen on Ward and really not sure that can happen if it isn't in UK.  Hopkins looks the play but that isn't in the calibre of opponents Froch likes.....not anymore anyway.

Ward is another cut from the same cloth as those 2, and hopefully Eddie picks up the phone Smiley

This.

Kessler is a credit to the sport as well. If only boxing had more people like this in it.

Why wouldn't Froch retire?

I mean, he's made for life, he has avenged the only avengeable defeat of his career and he's 36 in a months time.

Time to hang em up.

best moment of the fight for me was when carl was declared the winner and kessler immediately took his hand from the referee's and began applauding. Sportsmanship at its finest.

Carl Froch is a legend. Kessler isn't far behind. Fantastic fight.

Ward is a level above, IMO. Would be a big payday. He is in a difficult spot, because that was arguably Froch's best performance of his career. Seems luke the worst time to retire, but I can't pick a progressive fight for him at that weight.

The interview with the two of them at the end was just pure class.

Sport needs more of this. If they both retired tonight, they'd know the both retired champions.

I really dont want to see it because they are my two favourite British fighters at the moment but Froch - Groves would sell enough tickets and provide a challenge for both parties.  Now would definitely be the time for Froch to take this fight as in a few years time Groves might overtake him and catch him on the way down which none of us want to see obviously.  Not sure it is the perfect time for Groves to take though and Adam Booth is normally fairly careful about the challenges his fighters take although they did take on De Gale.

Ward is definitely the better boxer, but I was just talking about the way he conducts himself etc.

I think Froch is just a warrior, he lost to Ward so will want to try and avenge the defeat. Not sure that he'll be able to, but he will want to give it another spin I think.
