Froch looks past Groves towards Chavez Jr or Golovkin

[boxrec]

http://static.boxrec.com/wiki/3/31/CARL_FROCH_600.jpgWith his defence against George Groves less then a month away, IBF/WBA super middleweight champion Carl 'The Cobra' Froch is already talking about his next move, and has revealed that promoter Eddie Hearn has been in touch with American network HBO over a potential Vegas fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (47-1-1).

But according to the Cobra, HBO would prefer him to face unbeaten middleweight boss Gennady Golovkin (27-0) in what would be a mouth watering final contest for the Nottingham champion.

After Golovkin demolished Matthew Macklin back in June, Froch was mentioned as one of the few names that might be capable of coping with the Kazakh's power.

Froch told the Sun: "I'm told my promoter Eddie Hearn has already spoken to the American TV company HBO about a big fight against Chavez Jnr.

"But, from what I understand, HBO are more interested to see me in against Golovkin because there are not too many willing to fight him.

"Sure, Golovkin is frightening but I fear no man. It would be an unbelievable super-fight that would get everybody excited - him or Chavez Jr."
