    Regardless of the official cards, Bika actually gave Ward the hardest fight anyone has thus far, Froch would probably never be able to beat Ward.

      I think it's possible for Froch to beat Ward on the cards. I'm surprised so many people insist it isn't tbh.

      In their first fight the most Froch could realistically won was four rounds at a stretch. But a couple of judges had it close. It was within the realms of probability for him to do better and squeak another round, making it 7-5 in reality.

        Even as a Froch fan I just don't see it. Froch is the second best 168 fighter in the world imo but Ward is a long way ahead of the competition.

          Ward beats Froch in the UK. No need for a rematch Froch looked puzzled in the first fight. I would rather watch Kessler vs Froch rematch. Ward I would like to see him move up and fight at 174. Pascal, Cloud, Maybe Dawson rematch would be a little more competitive at 174.

            I don't agree,Froch pushed Wards conditioning Bika did'int...But both were good fights tbh...

              Even the kind of home cooking Froch got in the Dirrell (who incidentally I'd like to see take a tuneup and fight Ward) fight won't help him beat Ward, who's just a different level of fighter TBH.

                FACT time.

                Froch only won the rounds Ward LET him win...some uneducated fans from you know where like to say he gassed out, and yes, it may have looked like that at the time...

                but then we found out that Ward's left hand was fractured before the fight AND AGAIN halfway through it...

                Meaning Ward was absolutely schooling and abusing Froch's face WITHOUT his best hand...

                Therefore, he cruised out for his lopsided win.


                Now to the topic at hand...


                1. Froch, like Kessler, isn't WORTHY of a rematch....ANYWHERE.

                2. British Boxing is so perennially desperate for "champions" that they will do whatever it takes to win or sit on a belt...

                3. Remember Tszyu-Hatton?...yeah...that would be their plan.


                Which leads me to the result of this hypothetical and unwarranted rematch...

                There is no doubt in my mind that Ward would STOP Froch in Nottingham...because he's too intelligent and talented to let them screw him.

                  Two questions:

                  1: Do you think Ward will ever fight outside the US?

                  2: If Froch and Kessler is unworthy of a shot at Ward then who is? Pavlik? LOL.

                      Andre Ward and I took your soul on November 21st, 2009...so you are not worthy of my response...

                      How do you like THAT answer?....lol....or should I post all the topics where it happened for proof of Ownership?
