Funny thing is Froch is a boxer,always has been..After the Taylor fight he tried to become something else,and is now getting back to the way he always fought..Froch is a counter puncher,and Ward holds none of the advantages Taylor or Dirrell held...Both man are taller and imo harder punchers..I also believe Ward would have had trouble with Taylor and Dirrell...I get that feeling.
I get the feeling Froch is delusional. And because he outboxed Abraham and Glen Johnson feels he is some kind of master boxer.
Showtime, who genuinely know literally nothing about Carl Froch and what he is like as a fighter have jumped on that and now the majority of fans outside the UK also feel that Froch is some great skilled master boxer.
Which of course has helped his ego.
I think he thinks he can outbox Ward.
The guy couldn't outbox Jermain Taylor.
Also, in terms of not knowing what he's saying, he sounds like an absolute idiot in this staredown.
"When Dirrell went down on one knee, I was like, what the **** is he doing....idiot".
"So then I did it aswell"

Oh, he's always been a boxer? So what's the whole "He's changed his style into boxing and counterpunching" all about then? That Showtime and everyone else like to spout.Funny thing is Froch is a boxer,always has been..After the Taylor fight he tried to become something else,and is now getting back to the way he always fought..Froch is a counter puncher,and Ward holds none of the advantages Taylor or Dirrell held...Both man are taller and imo harder punchers..I also believe Ward would have had trouble with Taylor and Dirrell...
He's not really a boxer, not a good one. Yeah, sure, he's not an all out swinging brawler who throws 100 punches a round. And yeah, he holds his hands low, and counters sometimes.
But he's not really a boxer, nor a counterpuncher. He rarely slips shots and fires straight back with counters. His ability barely allows him to be a good boxer, his hands, feet and reflexes are immensely slow.
So you're saying he changed his style after Taylor then changed it back when? Abraham? Glen Johnson? Or is that because he had two bad performances in a row after Taylor?
He fought the same against Dirrell and Kessler as he always fights more like. That's always how he's fought. Dirrell and Kessler are just better than him, really.
Froch holds all the advantages? Oh really? What about speed? Skills? Timing? footwork? Reflexes? Those are advantages that Ward holds, not Froch.Comment

Froch did not fight the same way against Kessler as he did against Dirrell..He was far more aggressive against Dirrell because he had to be(with Dirrell running and all)and tried to box more with Kessler(and was outwork based on the judges scores)and catch him with flush shots..But he has been going back to what he really is lately because he is not fighting taller guys with fast hands(imo)..Taylor and Dirrell both were taller fighters and both used their jabs to keep distance,Froch had to be overly aggressive to be in the fight..Why would he do the same thing with Ward who is short??Both are good fighters,I don't know if ya think I'm selling Ward short or what..But Ward is a good fighter who grew on me threw out the SS,but I said since this thing started Froch will win and I'm sticking to that..And tbh it's not that hard to believe,Froch is a good fighter,a smart fighter..Don't sell him so short bro..Oh, he's always been a boxer?

And as far as talking about advantages,it was more talking about Taylor and Dirrell's advantages over Froch and Ward has neither(well except speed)but he does not hit harder then either and he is not as tall..Last edited by Rome-By-Ko; 12-07-2011, 05:28 AM.Comment
