    It's not wise. But, I respect that confidence.

    It's hard not to like Froch. He talks a lot of mess. But, he has backed it up. And, is willing to fight anyone, anywhere. I just like his overall approach to the game.

    I give the edge to Ward. But, I really hope Froch wins it.

      ok

      but u know what i mean...

      try to swarm body punch and fight a little dirty try to take him out of his game....

      if he trys to box with ward he will lose almost every round IMO

      ward seems very confidenthe shouldnt take froch lightly.

        Me too, I like Froch alot. I want him to win but I have to look thru neutral glasses. I'll wait for the odds to come out and maybe put some money down on Froch if the odds are good but im not expecting much other than a wide UD by Ward

          I hope froch knocks ward clean out. Ward is gonna try to run just like dirrell did once he felt that power.

          They always run..........

            The guy is prototypical of what I personally like when watching a fighter. Lots of flaws overcome with toughness, grit and a never say die attitude. I'll also be rooting for him.

              Well Ward/Bradley/Alexander are like the Lay and Pray wrestlers in MMA. They just do the bare minimum to win while boring everyone to sleep and have everyone booing for wasting everyone's time.

              I respect Boxers more who give it all win or lose, ie Gatti, Mayorga and the countless Mexican warriors. Win or lose they dont care but they put their life in the ring. This is why they have such a huge following and respect by the fans.

              If a guy puts on a great show but loses to another warrior who gave it his all I will still have more respect than him than a guy who runs around for 12 rounds throwing air punches then acting all proud after he wins.

                  Odds are already out in the U.K most sites are giving the same.

                  Carl Froch is around 5/2 which in the U.S is +$250

                  Andre Ward is 2/5 which in the U.S is -$250

                    Im not trying to start a flame here, but isn't this what Wlad does?

                      And who are "they"?
                      Andre Ward : rounds boxed 151 KO% 54.17
                      Wlad: rounds boxed 285 KO% 83.05

                      What do you think Ward's KO % will be when he has almost 300 rounds boxed? 30%? Less?

                      People call Wlad boring but atleast he gets the Knockouts more often than not, he uses his skills to outbox his opponents before putting them away. He actually tries to finish fighters off or make them quit.

                      Who else gets screamed at every round by their trainer to knock someone out while they have been winning every single round? Only Emanuel screams for a KO despite Wlad winning every single round.

                      All the American guys are like "you doing great job keep doing what you doing!" which means fight is going to decision.

                      When was last time you heard a trainer tell his fighter that "yes you are winning every round but you gotta KO this guy right now"?
