Comments Thread For: Froch: Ward in Cuckoo Land, No Rematch in America

[ChampBox@PR]

It's all about leverage in the eyes of the public. It is not really relevant in the big picture that a few hardcore boxingfans knows who the real champion is. It is like when Tyson was champ before he met Michael Spinks. In the eye of the average sportsfan, Tyson was champ because he had an alphabet collection. In the real world Spinks was the linear champ.

(Not comparing Tyson's dominance to Froch here obviously).

Bingo!!!! I mean who the fuck is Ward gona fight anyways?]
He has none, and I mean none options but Froch in the UK!!

Froch is the boss of the division, even though Ward is the lineal champ!

froch knows he doesn't stand a chance without the ref and judges on his side.

Andrea will hide out in oakland fighting weight drained fighters

No one cares about a boring arse mulatto phaggot

[D-MiZe]

It'll happen where ever Froch wants it to happen 'cause he knows he's the man in that division. Ward is the best fighter in the division, but his boring ass style stinks the place out and no one wants to watch the guy.

Ward's already proven he's better than Froch and did so with one hand, there is no need for him to rematch. Personally, I hope Froch doesn't rematch him and goes about his business whilst he's squirming like a **** in Oakland.

If Ward doesn't want it how about Hopkins.

Doesn't Ward need a warm up first after his injury. Hopkins will come down to a catchweight and come the UK.

He can rematch Ward after - that'll be 4 fights at home in a row for Froch.

Froch's never fought on the biggest stage in America, why not look to do Vegas or MSG with Hopkins or if he can't get Ward to come to UK.

In Vegas froch could take a huge army and he definitely have the lion'sshare of the fans, plus he'd get huge exposure and the glitz and glamour of his name up in lights.

Isn't that the pinnacle for every elite fighter - Vegas.

There's also the Mecca of boxing MSG - loads of Brits would travel for that too.

All they have to come to is an agreement about neutral ref and judges then.

The thing is Ward has the W and he is the numero uno in the division.

Froch is no:2 if Froch really wants the fight and really wants to become known as no:1 he has to get the rematch.

He'll retire having never been no:1 in his division otherwise with that being hsi overall legacy. Knowing Froch he'd want to be remembered as being the best and to be the best you have to beat the best.

Ward doesn't need the fight in that respect, Froch does, so I don't see what cards Carl holds or demands he can make. Legacy wise Froch needs the fight not Ward.

I'd like Ward to come to the Uk, but if he doesn't, I don't see why Froch won't go there, especially somewhere great like Vegas.

Hatton won there, Calzaghe won there, Froch himself has won fights in America and the last fight he had with Ward the judges scored favourably towards Froch to say the least.

His Froch army will travel in thousands for a Vegas or MSG fight, so I don't see what the issue for him is. He's won in America a few times already.

F**k Froch !!!!!! Ward already whooped his a$$ easily with a broken hand. There is only one champion at 168 and if you think otherwise there is no hope for you. If Froch wants Ward aka "the ONLY Champion at 168" then the fight will be wherever Ward says. If Ward agrees to fight outside the States then so be it but he doesn't owe Froch sh** !!!

[KickAzz]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Ward dont care about which place he will dominate you in. No matter where its at, he will dominate thadazz.

Ward does care, that's why he doesn't want to fight outside of Oakland so much.

Its just that he dominated Froch already, and if Froch wants him to come to the UK, he should pay Ward more money. Froch lost in a mismatch. You dont call the shots, after that.

I agree that Froch has to make Ward an offer that Ward can't refuse to get him to the UK

So froth is already a beaten man, he believes the fans not his skill will get him a victory in the uk. Pauline, and Bradley holds belts at ww but no one believes they are better than Floyd.

I don't think it's the fans... so much as the judges and refs

From a business standpoint though it will be much bigger if held in London. In the states you'd be lucky to sell out a 5k seat circus arena. This is a win/win for Ward. He will dominate Froch on his home turf and make millions in the process along with worldwide recognition.

Yup... but Ward is gonna have to go for the KO or totally outclass Froch like Cherrypicker did Guerrero and Rigondo did Donaire... otherwise he could get robbed.

Does anybody really have that much interest in a rematch? I mean, take out the novelty of Ward flying to another country and fighting in his opponents backyard, and is it really that compelling of a match? He was completely dominated by a one-handed fighter without a hint of controversy to report from the last time around.

the UK fans have a lot of interest in that fight happening in the UK... in the US, there's other fights we have to look forward to.

Froch doesn't really want Ward again, and Hearn certainly doesn't.

I think Froch and Hearns want Ward, just not in the US

Let them go in their own separate directions. As long as they continue to fight credible opposition, who cares?

problem is, they are clearly the best in the division and there really isn't anybody else... so it's a slow division

froch knows he doesn't stand a chance without the ref and judges on his side.

yeah... if Ward is that good, he should give Froch a handicap

It'll happen where ever Froch wants it to happen 'cause he knows he's the man in that division. Ward is the best fighter in the division, but his boring ass style stinks the place out and no one wants to watch the guy.

I agree... Froch is the money man and money talks, but Froch gotta give Ward an offer he can't refuse... he just can't be postering in the media but not really negotiating the fight

Ward's already proven he's better than Froch and did so with one hand, there is no need for him to rematch.

sure there is... about a couple million dollars

Personally, I hope Froch doesn't rematch him and goes about his business whilst he's squirming like a **** in Oakland.

I hope Froch does get his rematch in the UK... so Ward finally has to fight outside his comfort zone

If Ward doesn't want it how about Hopkins. Hopkins will come down to a catchweight and come the UK.

Yep, Ward should let Froch fight Hopkins first and see if Hopkins gets robbed in the O2. But the risk here is that if Hopkins wins, then Ward ain't got no one to fight.

Doesn't Ward need a warm up first after his injury.

I guess he can have a tune up, but if Ward is that good, it wouldn't really matter

He can rematch Ward after - that'll be 4 fights at home in a row for Froch.

I think Froch deserves it, he did a lot of traveling for the super 6

Froch's never fought on the biggest stage in America, why not look to do Vegas or MSG with Hopkins or if he can't get Ward to come to UK.

cause Froch makes more money in the UK

In Vegas froch could take a huge army and he definitely have the lion'sshare of the fans, plus he'd get huge exposure and the glitz and glamour of his name up in lights. There's also the Mecca of boxing MSG - loads of Brits would travel for that too.

Froch fans aren't Hatton fans apparently

All they have to come to is an agreement about neutral ref and judges then.

they could do the same thing in the UK no?

Isn't that the pinnacle for every elite fighter - Vegas.

Meh... not necessarily

Who is Froch to call the shots Ward spanked his butt like a child

for 12 rounds. It was an embarrassing performance from Froch.



Froch just best an old and worn out Kessler.




What's next Froch at u gonna call out Floyd and tell him when and where?





Frochs mind is as slow as his feet.

Froch could ask Ward to suck this and the response would be, 'Yes Mr.Froch, how hard?'

It really doesn't matter that Ward beat Froch and how bad he beat him because the fact of the matter is, Ward is the one chasing the rematch, Froch is not.
