Froch: Ward avoided rematch, turned down career high payday

[Weebler I]

I got myself excited about fighting Ward again but, dare I say it, he just didnt fancy it. Ward could have come over to England, made a career-high payday, and backed up his mouth. He said he beat me easily last time, that he only used one hand, and all the rest of it. So why avoid a rematch, if Im such an easy option?

Sure, hes had a long layoff but how many times has Floyd Mayweather come back after time off and faced the best? Ward is one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world, who regards himself as a magnificent athlete, so why not do the training, do the sparring, and get yourself ready? Ive had almost a year out myself and would only be looking to come back against a strong opponent.

Ward said he wouldnt fight in Nottingham City Ground and thats a venue which holds 35,000 fans. The problem is hes not big enough to fill Wembley Stadium and the biggest broadcasting networks arent interested in showing his fights. Hes got Paul Smith next, who is coming off two great fights with Arthur Abraham, so hopefully Paul can give him something to think about. All Im saying is, he could have been in against me and had the opportunity to regain the top spot.

Lol at a paper champion saying the real champion has to beat him again to regain the top spot.

Let the fight go up for Bid and whoever win the BID that is where they fight.

Very simple solution instead of this Tug Of War. Instead he allowed his belt to be taken away because they didn't want to do that.

You lost the first fight, Revenge is something you go get, it doesn't come to your front door. Froch wasn't Robbed in America or anything like that, he got beat with 1 Hand by the BETTER FIGHTER!

Oakland, Vegas, Nottingham, Mars, Venus, Saturn...doesn't matter, Froch can't beat Ward and Him and Hearn knows it so they NEED this fight in Nottingham just to have a Chance by Corruption!

that's what happens when the so called real champion decides he doesn't need to fight, a champion has to defend his title not live off past glories

That's not what he decided. Just another example of you putting out statements and disguising them as facts. Ward already clearly beat Froch while Froch admitted he has no chance of beating Ward outside of getting a decision in Nottingham. So don't pretend that Ward is the one who is scared of anything here.
