    Ward beats both Froch and Johnson. He can box, fight inside and out, the guy is good regardless of where he fights. Froch looked impressive against Abraham but Kessler and Dirrell whipped him.

      IMO i feel glen has more pop in his right than ward, who just grinds your down. But i feel froch can match up better with ward, than glen.

      Glen on his day can def rock froch, whearas andre wards pitte patter will just bounce off froches chin. Plus froch will not stand for the dirty headbutts that ward does.

      Ward has had the easiest run possible bar kessler, with not one fight outside the USA or clai for that matter.

      The road warrior, is a road warrior, humble, honest and lets be honest on the bsd side of some decisions.

      This imo will be tougher than andre ward, froch gets this and he wins the tourney in my eyes....
      exactly what i think mate! Glen will give froch some problems! The question is can froch adapt and take away glen johnson right hand? I can see glen landing the right hand on froch! and thats glens moneypunch! froch will need to get to war with johnson sometimes to get a little respect and beat up glen to the body early...

          the fella has an interesting take on things doesn't he

          some may contest the Dirrell & Kessler fights but to call them anything but close decisions is just hating on Froch

          I aint sure how this fight will go on Saturday... gutted I am in wales with no access to sky or the net this weekend so will be sky plussing it and watching it Sunday evening avoiding all media outlets before hand. Fingers crossed. Johnson will be tough to outbox and Carl ain't delivered a KO since Taylor. I am with you on the notion he could cope with Ward

            Whatever the case, Ward is winning this tourney and I'm hoping its Froch he beats in the final.

                IMO Glencoffee Johnson is due to win another big fight and I think this is the one. Let him teach Froch a lesson, it will probably make Froch a better fighter. Win, lose, or draw it's going to be a very good boxing match, between two outstanding fighters. Can't wait!

                Pick: Johnson W12 Froch (UPSET!)

                  I wasn't impressed w/ Froch in the Dirrell fight. He actually surprised me in the Kessler and AA fight. He complained that Dirrell ran all night but he actually mirrored Dirrell's gameplan against AA and will do the same against Johnson. If Froch boxes Johnson he will win but he cannot outbox Ward or Dirrell or Kessler.

                    he went from slugger to technical boxer, but he wasn't running from side to side with his hands in the air, like Dirrell was. And Froch has it in his locker to offer both aspects. it aint like he is scared of taking shots. So he is capable of switching styles.

                    I don't tink anypne would have impressed against Dirrell that night, he was all over the ring, you've got to admire his fitness in doing so but he didn't engage and thats what lost him the fight as the challenger, he spoiled it. The gamble nearly paid off for Dirrell but for me Froch just edged it.

                    I agree with you though to beat Johnson he'll be best going with similar disciplined tactics like he did with Abraham. He can't get emotional if he gets stung by Johnson and start trading out of anger. He's seasoned enough to avoid this scenario though
