Why is everyone saying Froch will be beaten with ease?

[No1]

I dont get it. The guy is tough as you like, has an awesome chin, keeps himself in hsape so have great stamina, when he decides to box he looks really good with a sick jab and good boxing fundermentals add to this he has a huge heart and hits really ahrd and you have one tough SOB.

Ward is very overated. He ahs a decent resume but i feel Froch's is so much better. So ward beate Kessler...... He headbutted him to death and should have been DQ if he wasnt in his own town. I so hope Froch beats Wards and shuts all these haters up.

Pretty much agree, Froch is always the underdog for some reason. Very underrated fighter.

Ward is not beating Froch without a fight, in fact I quite fancy Froch to stop the rather chinny & certainly rather overrated Ward.

Wards a very good fighter but IMO quite the yank hypejob. He does everything well but nothing greatly IMO

Will certainly be putting a few quid on Froch to pull it off given the absolute ridiculous odds.

Rumor has it the black russian aka the future of the light heavyweights was in town (The Bay)

I suspect, those with Froch will say the same thing. Granted Ward is the favourite.

Any half decent super middleweight can look good sparring mediocre, inexperienced middleweight prospects.

Reality is they don't have the jab, size, strength, chin, conditioning or anything else Froch possesses.

If you think Ward is going to shut-out Froch or anything similar you are sadly mistaken.

What you say about Froch's chin and stamina is true but he really struggles with anybody who can box... and Ward can. Direll, Taylor (before the KO) and Kessler all gave him trouble.

I like both fighters, but you have to realize that if the fight is close(which it has a great chance of being...) then Ward's gonna get the decision because the fight is in the states. That said, Froch definitely has a better chance of ending it early than Ward does.

However, I think it'll be a pretty close fight with Ward getting a decision that could've been given to Froch if the fight was in the UK.

And there isn't a super middleweight on the planet those guys haven't or wouldn't give trouble.

Direll fought so negatively he would of made anybody look complete ****.
Kessler & Froch was a great fight that could of gone either way.
Taylor is a great fighter that was edging a close fight between the two before getting stopped.

There is no shame in losing or having a close fight with any of those guys, two of which Froch won (I thought he edged Kessler as well) two of the three was F.O.T.Y candidates.

Froch don't box enough, believe me when he opts to box, he's got tools. Don't sleep on The cobra's boxing ability.
