    Ward is not easy to catch clean. I don't see Froch landing a lot of shots on him.

      Can Ward take Miranda's power?
      Can Ward take Kessler's power?
      Can Ward take Abraham's power?

      Did any of these guys even catch Ward?

      Can Dirrell take Froch's power? Yes.
      Can Kessler take Froch's power? Yep.
      Can Abraham take Froch's power? Yeah.
      Can Johnson take Froch's power? Yes sir.

      Did Froch catch any of these guys? Yes he did.
      Did they take it well? Yes they did.

      Can we stop acting acting like Carl Froch is this hard puncher knocking out everybody he faces now? I hope so.

        If Froch has a 'great' jab then the standard for 'great' has drastically decreased.

        Let's throw Devon Alexander in there aswell.

          Yes he has good reflexes and hold and spoils on the inside. Hook will not be the answer, shot straight down the middle and the uppercut will have Ward on shakey legs again.

          Lets hope they have a ref that won't allow Ward to hold and headbut.

            It is a strong accurate jab that his opponents have difficulty in seeing comming.

            What exactly do you want to see in a jab?

              Since when does Froch have some sort of crazy powere? Only dude at 168 with any kind of scary power is Bute..


              froch is strong and durable and has fairly heavy hands, but he's have to land all night on ward to tko/ko him and that's not happening...nobody is getting kod in that fight

                I think Ward will struggle with Froch's blinding speed.

                How long is this 'name attributes Carl Froch doesn't have and say he has them' saga going to last? Before or after he gets his first loss?

                (Kessler doesn't count, obviously. Froch said so)

                  Yes his chin has improved but Froch hits a lot harder than Boone.

                    Froch does have fast hands, and is a better combination puncher than Ward.

                      Oh yeah absolutely. I mean, Froch's jab is so stunning his opponents don't even see it!!

                      His opponents see his jab about 30 minutes before he starts to telegraph it.

                      An ounce of snap would be nice.
