Eddie Mustafa Muhammad (Ward): “I know Carl Froch and I know Andre. I think Andre is the best ‘68-pounder in the world. I don’t think nobody is going to beat Andre. He has his game plan on. He has great people around him. Andre can do it all. He can box. If it’s neccessary, he’ll stand there and punch with you, and hit and don’t get hit. He’s a great fighter.
