Anything less than a dominant UD by Chavez would have me pissed off if he fought Stevenson, Ward, Froch or even GGG (imagine how much punishment GGG would've given him...). His name is a waste of a match for top opponents (from a fan perspective) unless/until he gets his act together, which seems less likely with each passing fight.
As far as Froch goes, he's quickly reaching the Miguel "I've earned the right to do what I want, you shouldn't question me about avoiding any good fighter" Cotto status. Primadonna.
He lost to the best in the division, came out on the right side of a war vs a good aging fighter, got gifted a stoppage then had the KO of his career vs a top 5 division opponent. Lets not act like he's the stuff legends are made of. He's had a good run, but like Miguel Cotto, he's good, not great. If he's not going to move up or down a level (and that's OK given his age), he should be fighting Degale or a Dirrell, assuming he doesn't want to try again against Ward (in LV, not England).

You could replace Russia with USA and it wouldn't be much different.
