Excerpt from interview by Nick Grey
Who do you see as your biggest challenger in the Super 6 tournament?
Carl Froch: I’ve got to say Wardy (Andre Ward). He beat Mikkel Kessler and he’s now WBA Champion. But then Kessler himself is going to be a big challenge. He’s a big strong veteran, he’s durable and he means business. And he’s my next opponent, so let’s take it one step at a time. Having said that, Ward’s WBA Champion and Olympic medallist, undefeated and come off the back of a great win against Kessler, so he’s probably the next big fight. Then again you can’t write off Arthur Abraham. He’s a great fighter; he’s tough, strong and comes to fight.
Well we'll see if Andre Ward can follow up on the Kessler win, I'm not going to declare him a star quite yet. Ward would mess up Froch I think, and is the most well rounded fighter in this tournament.
Ward is the best fighter among them. Olympic Gold Medalist, all those achievements but hey keep doubtin him......People said man he has weak chin he'll get KO'd by Miranda, what happened to Miranda when he came to Oakland? People said Kessler is gonna dominate Ward and then win the tournament, what happened when Kessler came to Oakland? I'm tellin you this guy is a superstar and he's young, real young for a champ. I could see him winning the tournament and then fightin Chad Dawson in Vegas.
Without a doubt my favorite boxer now.
I remember watching him in the Olympics when I was 14. He really got me hooked on boxing

I still think Dirrell is a better fighter than Ward that will be an interesting match-up but I think Dirrell will cause an awful lot of issues for Ward (really the way Dirrell can fight is problematic for anyone).
Waed fight nothing like RJJ at all. I would say the closest style he has is that of b hops.
that makes sense but I don't think wards headbutts are intentional
Ward is going to win this whole thing if he stays focused on the task at hand!!! One fight at a time!!!
Ward is the next Roy Jones Jnr not Greene!!!

I still don't think it's likely that Ward goes undefeated in a tournament this deep. It's hard to beat a line up of guys like that. Even Green will be a dangerous fight.
I was really impressed with the way Ward handled Miranda, and the Kessler. I was not sure how much was real skill and how much was hype early on - but he is really good and looks like he very well may be one of these once in a decade type guys.
i remember how people had kessler winning the super 6 and it wouldnt even be close. only person who would have a shot to win was AA.
my how things changed.

cause they both know how to foul
I remember watching Ward before the Super Six and I thought he was incredible and I knew I was going to start following him throughout his career. Glad to see how well things are turning out for him. Maybe he'll eventually fight Dawson. That'd be a good fight.
Ward is the truth.
noone expected him to be so dominant over the "super 6 favorite"
i did you know i said it from the get go...no one else thought he would except me and now all you bandwagon jumpers tryna act like you knew
Ward is well on his way to winning this entire thing. After that it's superstardom.
I agree, Dre is the biggest threat and I have him winning it.
Ward is the truth.
