Will Hearn/Froch Even Make Ward A Legit Offer?

[The Hammer]

Andre "Son of GOAT" Ward needs home advantage because he's afraid to fight without a home ref who permits him to fight dirty, yet he's in need of a big payday that only fighting Froch in the UK will bring.

Ward is a feather-fisted fraud.

Excellent post!

Ward really doesn't have the fans to generate PPV. What would really be good is if he came out of his comfort zone home advantage and came to Europe........but you know that will never happen.

I'm sure some people appreciate his spoiling tactics but he is a hard sell.

Also heard from a reliable source close to Matchroom that Kessler was carrying a minor injury going into the fight.

Can you be more specific?

I think Ward is considered a great fighter the same way Hatton was considered a great fighter when he only fought in his home country and was allowed to get away with dirty tactics.

The simple fact is Ward isn't in a position to dictate terms. On the BBC 5 Live interview, after the fight, he said "Froch should come to the US". Seriously?

I'm pretty sure Froch doesn't want any shady refereeing, or this:

Out of all the boxers in the world you pick Ricky Hatton who just as many World title wins abroad than in his home country??? Odd logic there man.

Why would Ward not want this fight he's already beaten Froch, and I really don't see anyway the outcome would be any different the second time.

He easily outboxed Froch fro the first 7 roundds til he took his foot off the gas a little, andstill won a clear decision.

I like Froch and Ward, I just don't see anyway Froch beats him. Honestly, I don't see anybody beating Ward right now.

Excellent post.

When will people on here realise that Ward, despite his excellent skills, isn't a PPV fighter. Aside from revenge and the WBC strap, Froch has nothing to gain from rematching him. He'd make the same £ fighting for Stieglitz's belt; it'd be way more exciting, too.


Don't rule out Froch-Kessler III just yet.

Ward doesn't have the WBC belt

[IronDanHamza]

Froch sounded pretty damn shook and like a guy that knew he had no chance of beating Ward, when speaking to HBO after the Kessler II fight. Ward with two good hands probably stops Froch. All this Ward is boring talk is a joke, considering in his last fight he absolutely destroyed and stopped 175 kingpin Chad Dawson (the same Dawson that gave Hopkins his worst loss since 1993)

He stopped 175 Kingpin.......at 168..

That wasn't the same Dawson that beat Hopkins.
