So this means Froch is fucked, right?

Nothing too shocking about what he said. It's accurate. Froch has the belief and the ability to pull off the smallest of upsets. Both are the best in the world in the division, so it's not like either winning would be too shocking.

The only shocks could really be Froch COMPLETELY out-boxing Ward or Ward knocking Froch clean out early in the fight. Otherwise, this is the best facing the best.

While knockouts are nice, I still don't see why people blame Ward for his fights being boring. My theory is that you can only blame the loser of a fight for the fight being considered boring. The winner might not help, but the loser is to blame. The winner is obviously doing all that he needs to, the loser isn't. Ward, in my opinion, makes his opponents not want to do what is needed to win. Watching that unfold is exciting to me.

If Froch beats Ward.
Ward will become a hype job on here who never left his home town.

bull****..

froch is universally appreciated after his run of tough fights, everybody is giving him his props now and almost nobody is trying to discredit him.

ward is the one who doesnt get his props, u say ward will become a hypejob but hes been called that all along. ffs ppl dont even give him credit for the kessler win bcuz of the headbutts, most of which were not entirely wards fault. more importantly he had been completely outclassing kessler for like 5 rounds before the first one even occured, but ppl just dont want to give ward his props.

so u got it oposite, if ward beats froch then froch will be garbage all of a sudden. if froch beats ward then andre was the second coming of SRL who carried american boxing on his shoulders.

as did 90% of the boxing community, berto got critisized for even taking that fight remember?

regardless nobody gets every prediction right so whats your point? if your opinion doesnt matter bcuz you make one wrong predicition then nobodys opinion matters. everyone gets it wrong sometimes.

Froch will not give up ever! believe me he will send ward to hell and back in this fight and if ward comes through it he's for real.

Interesting. I wouldn't say that he predicts a Carl victory, but he is definitely saying that it can happen. It's gonna be so great. Carls punching power is a factor in any fight.

What power is this that yall keep talking about? Ward is gonna jump in with hard shots and beat Froch up. Yes beat him up for 12 rounds. Froch is riding a high and has been outboxed twice by guys I believe to be lesser boxers than Ward. The thing used to be that Froch was gonna be too physical for Ward. When Ward turned it up now people call him a dirty fighter. We may get to see Froch on his tail if he keeps those hands down. Ward is way faster and equals the toughness that Froch usually has the edge in. Froch= tough confident overachiever.

I have little respect for Froch's "skills". If Ward loses to Froch I definitely will look at him different. But I dont think that has a chance of happening.
