Carl Froch is looking for a suitable opponent for his return. What makes this more interesting is that he picked the same date as Floyd Mayweather’s May 5th date in which he will be facing Miguel Cotto. Carl Froch is a Showtime fighter and Floyd Mayweather is a HBO fighter. Will Showtime be damaging their Air Date by going head to head with HBO and Mayweather. That is a losing battle all day long. Recently this is what Carl Froch had to say.
?We?re looking at May 5th at the Nottingham Arena,? Froch said. ?I was all set for taking on [Lucian] Bute in Canada, but as everyone heard Showtime were looking at an American opponent for Bute?s next fight.
?I don?t want a gimme at this stage of may career, even though I?ve earned one. I don?t want some bum who nobody has heard of. My fans don?t deserve a patsy and I won?t fight one. They?re going to be top names and/or with a top ranking at 168-pounds. [Kelly] Pavlik?s name was kicked about. But it?s possibly [going to be] Librado Andrade or the WBC number three; a lad called Noe Gonzalez.?
Surely, he does deserve to take a easy fight but he takes no shortcuts. Showtime, wise up and please move your date. Your in an uphill battle and it’s a losing one.
