Carl Froch:"I'm going to knockout Ward!!!!"

Hey, I'll say this much: He does have heart. But a sturdy chin? No way. Just like he has virtually no boxing ability. I'll agree with no boxing ability. He is an ugly grinder, which is why i like him. But his chin is legit, he isn't evander holyfield but he ain't miguel cotto either.

Froch has a proven chin? Well then how did a natural 160lber like Jermain Taylor dump him on his ass? Please. You MUST be British. The recent David Haye fight should have taught you not to believe the hype. How is that not a proven chin? Taylor isn't feather fisted, he has pop on his punches. The fact he took all Taylor had, came back, and won the fight. Shows he has a proven chin and heart. Now, I am not a brit either. I just stand FIRM.

I believe this 'walking thru' thing is mind games. It really is rare to see one boxer walk through another guys punches at elite level. (Hatton vs Tszyu was one of those occasions). Even a puncher with mediocre power but good timing and speed (which Ward has) can keep another more aggressive fighter backed up. Think, Khan for the first 9 rounds against Maidana.

Froch has a proven chin? Well then how did a natural 160lber like Jermain Taylor dump him on his ass? Please. You MUST be British. The recent David Haye fight should have taught you not to believe the hype. He took the best right hands grandpa Johnson could throw and wasn't phased. Took some good ones from Kessler, too. I'd say he has a legit chin.

You could read this a different way.... Froch is just saying what we all know. That he can not win this fight on points. He's saying HE KNOWS he can't win it on points. Ward is by far the superior boxer. It has to be a KO and he has to draw Ward into an ugly slugfest to stand any chance of doing so. That's how it reads to me.

Froch said this to the BBC Sport: “I’m going to knock him out. He’s not a big puncher. I’m a guy to put him on his back foot. It’s going to shock the world. It’s a fight I know I can win. I’m going to get under his skin and try and get him to come to me, and try to fight. That’s not going to be by trash talking; it’s going to be by telling him what I think of him, and what I strongly believe I can do to him.” Let’s be real about this. Froch and Ward are on different levels. Froch is slow, lacks inside fighting ability and is easy to hit. Ward is a superb boxer with mad skills on both the outside and the inside. Ward will be able to pick whichever distance that suits him and do well against the slower Froch. This is a fight in which Ward has many different ways of beating Froch. For his part, Froch only has a puncher’s chance to win and even that’s not a good one because he’s not really a huge puncher. Ward is going to destroy this guy :boxing: Some good points made. Though I would add an important consideration. Froch has a proven chin and carries heavier hands. This is key because it could allow Froch to walk through Ward's shots and land some of his bombs. Can Ward's chin stand up?

Froch is just promoting the fight. Froch is a smart guy, he knows exactly what he's up against. I'd pick Ward to win a decision, although I'd really like to see Froch break the British mold and pull off the upset.

This is true, but Froch is a far better boxer. A far SMARTER boxer than Bika. That being said, he'll still lose to Ward. Absolutely, a much more skillful boxer. Bika is better at getting dirty, though. My point was they are different opponents.

I think you underestimate Froch a great deal and I believe you will be surprised at how Ward has to work to get the win(if he even wins this fight)..I also pick Froch by KO in the late rds..Ward's hardest fight to date imo was his scrap with Bika,Froch is a super Bika...Ward even if he wins will be pushed this will be his hardest fight hands down.. Froch is not "super Bika." Bika has chin and power at least on par with Froch, maybe better.

I hope he is.

Destroyed? By outboxing him and then sticking the nut on him numerous times? Destroyed is what Manny did to Hatton or what Donaire did to Montiel Tomato tamoto, homie. Ward beat the **** out of Kessler and most people thought his corner was going to call it. Froch has proven A LOT of people wrong throughout this tournament, he was seriously underrated. He is starting to get his due respect, and I think he can make it a difficult night for Andre.

While I doubt that'll happen, it would be impressive as heck if he did.

Destroyed? By outboxing him and then sticking the nut on him numerous times? Destroyed is what Manny did to Hatton or what Donaire did to Montiel I stick by what I said, Ward hasn't destroyed any top class opposition, and he won't destroy Froch It'll be a competitive fight with Ward winning a decision outboxing a fighter means more than KOing them...yeah, he destroyed him. :nana:

Ward destroyed kessler. kessler is a top class opponent. keep it honest dude. Destroyed? By outboxing him and then sticking the nut on him numerous times? Destroyed is what Manny did to Hatton or what Donaire did to Montiel I stick by what I said, Ward hasn't destroyed any top class opposition, and he won't destroy Froch It'll be a competitive fight with Ward winning a decision

Hey Oprah is Froch knocking out ward? http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhpguvfrSJ1qzocfz.gif

Let’s be real about this. Froch and Ward are on different levels. Froch is slow, lacks inside fighting ability and is easy to hit. I read this before every fight and I always back against Froch (including this one) but he keeps on winning. He's tough, rangy, powerful and unorthodox, I wouldn't under-estimate him.

OK enough with "PROMISING KO's" in boxing :no: I don't mind Froch tho,cause unlike Haye he at least try's to deliver...
