He's not THAT good. Neither Calzaghe nor Taylor are ducking him through fear and he knows that. The money just isn't there and there are bigger fights elsewhere for them. Just play the waiting game Froch. If you're really that good you'll get the big fights eventually. Personally i think a few routine defences in Nottingham wouldn't be a bad idea. He'd still get a bit of money for them and the longer he holds onto the title the more the others will have to take him on. I think then a fight with Sakio Bika or Anthony Mundine would be the sort of fight that'd set him up. Bika is IBO champ and if he could beat him that's a bigger, more credible name than Pascal which is his best yet. He'd then have two belts, a few defences and a unification showdown with Bute or Kessler would be eagerly anticipated.
