If Froch doesn't fight Ward, is it a duck?

[Grimmer]

Yes, 100%.

Not even arguable.

You don't go and beat the ranked number 1 (Bute) then ranked number 2 (Kessler) super middleweights in order not to have a crack at the champion. Even if its in the states, Froch has nothing to lose, but everything to gain. Does he want to be champ? Or does he lack the ambition? He has other options, but those options will still be there even if Ward dîcks him.

If he knows he can't be Ward, fair enough, but it is a duck.

[MachoPowerz]

Even tho they already fought it is still a duck because of the lopsided loss for Froch, he will avoid schooling. Which i dont blame him.... take kahn vs prescott for instance.

[CraigM]

So I guess he should have let froch disrespect his style and not reply. He merely was answering froch.

The interview didn't come off like that at all, he was asked about what he thought of the fight.

Is a shame because he is a great fighter.

If Ward is willing to go to the UK, and the purse split is reasonably, then it's a duck.
Conversely, if Ward is unwilling to go the UK, and had a fair offer /
a fair share of the purse, then he is the ducker.
I like Froch, but he will be hard pressed to beat Ward no matter where it is.
His only chance is to simply outwill Ward and just keep coming and coming till he wears Ward out. If anyone has the heart, chin and stamina to do that, it's Froch, but he'll pay a big price in the early rounds before he has any success at all.

[BEDROOM BULLY]

Why do people act like Ward totally outclassed Froch??

It was a clear win.. but Froch had his moments and won a few rounds on my card..

Certainly Wards hardest fight i can remeber

If he does fight Ward i think it should be in the UK. Has Ward ever gone up against a hostile atmosphere?

The atmosphere for the second Kessler fight wasn't too harsh because Kessler is well known by British fans and the majority of us actually like and respect him.

Ward would face an extremely hostile atmosphere.

I want to see how he deals with this.
