Is it possible that Froch has hit his true prime after Ward?

    Froch could beat Ward, he has the power and determination too. Whether he will or will ever get a rematch is another story.
    To me he seems alot more reserved, more accurate and defensively has tightened up a bit. The commentators said he was doing lots of bike riding (25 miles a day), maybe this has helped with his recent form.

      Put Froch in there with Ward or Dirrell and the exact same things will happen to him that happened in those fights.


      Froch is a very good fighter but he has flaws and those flaws haven't changed nor has he really done anything about them. Put him in with guys that can actually expose them and that will get seen~

        Froch would beat Bute and Mack the same way outside Nottingham. It's not about Froch being a better fighter it's just that he hasn't founght anyone all that great after he fought Ward.

          HAHAHA Uh..NO!

          He just haven't fought anybody as good as Ward since, so yeah he will look better

          Make no mistake, Froch to me is a damn good fighter and he beats anybody currently in his division...JUST NOT WARD!

              Thank you for a very insightful post. That's what I wanted to say, he actually did get better as a fighter.

              More reserved, more calm, better accuracy, and better defense overall along with better movement.

              Froch is not Evander Holyfield, and he will never be ranked ahead of Evander, but Holyfield did point out that he himself actually hit his true prime after Bowe.

                If people are saying he hasn't improved, why then are they picking him to beat Kessler?

                He must've improved from that fight in your minds to be able to go better in their rematch.

                  Kessler would also beat Froch.

                    Who said he will beat Ward. I'm just asking if it's possible he got BETTER after Ward.

                      Some of you are misunderstanding what people meant by saying Froch got better.

                      Don't mean that he will BEAT WARD, we meant that he definitely have gotten better than the version that fought Ward.
