Comments Thread For: Carl Froch Places a Target on Andre Ward, Lucian Bute

[AndyShitHot]

A lot of people underestimate Froch and talk about him like he's a bum but he is still an undefeated champion and will provide probably the 2 most entertaining fights of the super six in his next 2 fights. I think Froch-Kessler is a really close fight but give Kessler the slight edge just because of the home advantage. Froch-Abraham is just as close and the fight should be in the UK so I think it will be a hard place for Abraham to come to and get a result.

At the moment the only person who I see being guaranteed a spot in the semi's is Andre Ward because I can't see him losing against Green or Dirrell.

Many people underrate Froch and overrate Ward (due to his impressive win against Kessler), but to believe that Froch has the weapon to KO Abraham makes no sense. Froch doesn't punch stronger than Miranda, but Abraham punches a lot harder than anyone Froch has ever fought and his style to walk right into his opponents and wear them down can't work against someone who can hit like a donkey.

Whoever says Kessler by KO is an idiot. Froch is tough as hell. No1's KOing him, I doubt he'd get KO'd at lt.-heavy, maybe a cruiser could put him on his back for the count-out....Kessler-Froch is gonna be a helluva fight, Kessler's style is good for Carl, Carl's style is good for Mikkell....expect a long, hard fight.

Anyone who thinks Froch, a man who was dropped by Taylor, hurt by the acknowledged featherfisted Dirrell, a man blocking punches with his chin, anyone who thinks he can't be ko'ed by an accurate and hard puncher like Kessler, has to be the idiot.

Froch and Bute are on a similar level. Ward would dominate either one.

Froch and Bute are on a similar level ?

[Tiozzo]

Froch would beat Bute imo but Ward would beat Froch convincingly. He has a very good chin and has shown even if he does get hit by a big shot (Taylor) then he can recover very quickly, i don't see anyone KO'ing Froch, maybe Abraham.

At this point in their careers, Bute is actually better than Ward. Bute has a more disciplined approach of offense and has a better defense (Ward holds a lot, like it or not). Right now, if Ward was put in the ring with Bute, he might get stopped. He's too wild and careless sometimes, Bute would crack his chin while he's coming in. That' s my take. And Froch would look like Andrade : outboxed and possibly stopped.

Froch's chin and power are so overated...

The tournament may have more surprises coming...

Has someone noticed the article doesn't even make sense ?... It says Froch wants to win the tournament, and THEN take Ward's belt... What the hell ? Froch doesn't even have to fight Ward to get his belt if he wins the whole tournament, depending on who Ward would lose to. So the article doesn't make sense. It should have been : Froch wants to win the tournament (go out as the WBA/WBC champ) and then take on Stieglitz (WBO) and Bute (IBF)to unify the division completely, and become undisputed champ.

I just on the writer I guess.

don't like froch at all, but the one thing i respect about him, is his interest in fighting the best fighters he can.
