Comments Thread For: Froch Will Be Ordered To Fight Stevenson By The IBF

[Dirk Diggler UK]

And he got thoroughly dominated by Ward last year didn't he?


I don't get it either, if you're a Froch fan why in the world would you wanna see this rematch? Unless you're a masochist.

Who should Ward fight then?

Bute didn't deserve to fight him. Froch doesn't deserve a rematch. Kid might as well retire!

Name your top 5 fight opponents for Ward to face next.

This should be fun.

He'll probably come out with some shit like Dirrell.

I would actually like to see that fight. But apparently Dirrell isn't deserving either...

Yeah because Bute and Froch are the only fighters at 168 and 175.

I don't have a list but if I had one, Froch wouldn't be at the top that's for sure. I mean seriously, as a Froch fan why do you wanna see a Ward rematch? What's the appeal? Did the first fight leave some questions unanswered? Imagine you're a promoter and try to sell me the fight. Now that should be fun.

Quite easy. If Froch beats Bute and Kessler impressively, it'd be pretty easy to sell. You could say he's improved or he fought the wrong fight the first time. Whether those things are true is questionable but they are selling points. Making the fight in the UK would be another one.

Fighters have lost a lot worse than Froch did against Ward and still got rematches. There's such a thing as earning another chance.

So then how are they selling a rematch of a wipeout that Froch did to Bute? No reason why Ward and Froch can't rematch. Froch did much better against Ward than Bute did against Froch, regardless of rematch clause. Ward would most likely win but this is Boxing.

Good points.

You can earn a 2nd chance but the more one-sided the first fight was, the more you have to do to earn that chance, do you agree?

Froch/Bute had a rematch clause and Bute decided to exercise it.

But you guys don't get it, I'm asking you why you wanna see a rematch. You can't just say "well who else is more deserving?" I wanna know why YOU want to see these guys dance again. What makes this rematch attractive to you?

I doubt he can. I'm beginning to think he started following boxing yesterday.
