Its only because Froch will never be good enough to beat Ward. Sounds like a coward move by Froch.

Froch gave Ward credit for being very good and effective. He thought Ward was going to move up to LHW but even if he stayed at super middleweight Froch straight up said he doesn't want to fight him again because of Ward's boxing style. That Ward is a boring fighter and he's an exciting fighter so it's not going to be a good fight.
I'm surprised Froch said that. I mean he's a proud man so why refuse to even entertain the idea to get your revansch because you don't like the way he fights?...That's a lame excuse. What kind of loser mentality is that?? He's basically saying he knows he can't beat Ward.

Ive got massive respect for Froch but this is disappointing hear hear. After the fight Carl gave Wward his props and stood there with a swollen nose saying he would try different tactics next time but now it seems he has gone back on his words, realises he will never be the number 1 in the division and blames it on Wards style.
I think he should take it back because the comment does not come across well at all. I remeber his loss to Kess affacted him for a while and he said some silly stuff and it appears this loss still hasnt sunk in and he is finding excuses. Yes Ward is boring and was the weakest puncher in the whole of super 6 so it was always on the cards that Carl would have been outboxed for 12 rounds. Even if he doesnt think he can beat Ward he has to say he can to be taken seriously.

As I said in an earlier post, his reasons for not wanting the fight are:
1) Ward's boring style means the fight wouldn't sell and would be hard to hype and market.
2) He implies he does not like fighting that style of fighter either.
3) Cites the likelihood of Ward moving up to light-heavyweight as a reason it wouldn't happen.
