          In the way that Ward beats Froch?

          Because the hype train that was Kelly Pavlik at the moment, Froch can not compare to that. He's already been arguably beaten twice. Pavlik never lost a fight before losing to Hopkins.

          Also, unlike Hopkins being the underdog pretty bad, Ward vs Froch is a lot closer on paper.

          But if you mean the way that the actual fight goes, Ward shutting out Froch like Hopkins did to Pavlik, yeah I can see that.

            Cold be, but I don't think it will. Froch is better than Pavlik and Ward is not as good as Hopkins.

                  Ward is not as crafty as Hopkins and doesn't hit nearly as hard, and Froch is a better boxer than Pavlik with more intangibles and power at 168. Ward will be in the fight of his life.

                    No it won't Pavlik was never very good and Froch is very crafty while Ward is no B-hop.
