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

[MDPopescu]

Froch calling the shots while Ward appears to be begging for another fight. Hopkins is doing the same thing. Froch is the man.

The gods of bore -- desperate to make o buck...
(I suspect that Ward will end up like the mighty undefeated Chris John -- as someone said here earlier)...

I'm stealing this line

Last I remember Froch fighting in his backyard he was gettin a gift decision over Andre Dirrell...a fight with Ward in the UK just equals a few rounds given to Froch but Ward still spanks him 8-4 but in reality 10-2 or 11-1

This fight has to happen in the UK. It will be MUCH bigger if held in the London O2 arena. Here in the states this fight wont draw much interest.

Yeah,I don't think the ticket receipts will meet expectations if it was in the U.S. unfortunately.

I hate how Froch is using his belts as leverage. Ward is the true lineal 168 pound champion.

I think Ward should fight overseas for a change, but Froch shouldn't be acting like he's the true champion because he has a couple of belts.

Hopkins vs Froch, make it happen.

He is right in that he has a lot more options (like Hopkins who is calling him out, or Nathan Cleverly - even an easier fight to make).

It's because:

1) He is more vulnerable as a Boxer and fighters are itching to exploit it.

2) He has a big base and can sell out a big arena.

With Ward, who is calling him out? Yes, he is P4P but the risk is greater than the reward. Most fighters don't stand a chance against him and they know it, and there is not a lot to be gained financially. Only if they won by a miracle could they boast and increase their stock. A big IF.

More on this here.

Interesting to see so many Brits (read comments) wanting Froch to face Hopkins or Ward for his legacy.

I agree, its what I've been saying.

Froch is this to be no:1 surely not retire no:2 without looking to have gained revenge for the Ward loss.

What the term "dirrel" means? A brain injury, a disease of some sort?
Ward can't "spank" -- he slaps and sticks onto your chest... he's like a child who's punching his teddy bear under the blanket...

What the hell do belts matter when Ward owns a win over Froch? Sounds like someone has an ego problem, that just so happens to smokescreen his chicken azz..
Ward already has been quoted as having no problem going to the UK to whup his azz
again...so why else would Froch say this??

[flushuppercut]

They both have plenty of $, so thats not the issue...What happened to "fight anyone,anywhere,anytime?? I guess Froch is not cut from that cloth

[MDPopescu]

Froch is but a by product of Ward's ******ity regarding the business in the sport of boxing...
Instead of fighting Bute last year, Ward delivered him to Froch, who eventually became a big boxing star, against his will.
Now Ward is living on food stamps...
