Comments Thread For: Froch: I Told Ward He Could Put a Glass Eye To Sleep!

Ward is not the most exciting fighter but he is a master technician and would beat Froch 8 out of 10 times IMO.

To those that believe he schooled Froch though, go back and watch again. There were maybe two or three rounds in it overall (as agreed by two of the three judges).

so u saying andre wont really sell because usa has hockey,baseball,basketball and football? so why did Oscar sell? why does canelo fill arena's? why did pac bring in huge crowds? and some of these are not from usa,,don't use that as an excuse,i just can't see ward causing an excitement at a weigh in like pac did,i can't see him getting people excited about an upcoming fight of his,i can't see him causing a buzz in vegas,they can promote him like they do canelo,he still wont sell

Yeah after writing it i thought about it. My initial thought was there are so many more sports that people can follow compared to UK but than i realized if a guy can draw than he can draw.

When was Froch ever on PPV? If I remember correctly I believe I even watched the Bute fight on Epix. I also have a few casual boxing fans in my own family that don't know who Froch is.

Eh, he was on PPV yesterday?

You got to be kidding but probably really believe this

Oh really, which one of those didn't sell out?

The judge that had it 115-113 and 116-112 both need to have their eyes examined and/or their judging licenses revoked.

You do know that in the UK there are big sports such as Football, Cricket, Darts, Boxing, Golf, Tennis, Rugby L, Rugby U, Cycling, Racing all drawing major audiences. So as with everything else, you really don't have a clue about the subject.

USA has hockey, basketball, baseball, and the grand daddy football. UK has what soccer and......

Wrong: USA doesn't have football -- because they kick the ball with the foot 10 times at most during a whole match...

UK has football ("soccer" in American) -- a game in which they only use their feet to kick the ball -- hence the term "football"...
The Brits also have rugby-football -- a game too complex for Americans to understand...

What about the 85+ clinches?

Did you not read what I said? Kessler initiated many of the clinches, the ref also kept calling out Kessler for doing so. You also don't have to believe me just watch the fight again. Ward was also the one letting his hands go while in many of those clinches.

I also have to be honest and say that at the time I was even rooting for Kessler. With that said I have come to respect Ward and he has turned me into a fan of his. And why? Not only because of his great skills but also because he lets them do the talking and doesn't do a whole lot of trash talking. I respect that.

As for Froch he can do all the trash talking he wants and guess what? That and his alphabet belts still won't get him a win against Ward. And why? Simply because he isn't anywhere near good enough to beat Ward. And regardless of how much Froch and his fans criticize Ward it will do nothing to change that fact. That may help to explain the hostilities towards Ward. Because I imagine if I was in that position it may make me angry as well.

Cincy was taylor
Denmark was kessler
Atlantic city was super six final and more ward than froch.

He has has the luxury of fighting popular fighters which in turn made him popular, that and winning. Before taylor i had no idea who he was and didnt give him a shot at the super six but he surprised. He can draw big at home though

Again, you're right; but Froch himself says he wants to be in 'exciting' 'fan-friendly' fights. Andre Ward is not associated with either.

Froch aint exactly Arturo Gatti my man. Sounds to me like he slick wants no part of Ward.
