Why is Andre "Hometown" Ward Reluctant to Face Froch in the UK?

[Doctor_Tenma]

How about:

1: "Returning the favour"

2: "Winning some respect among fans"

3: "Collecting a career best purse"

All legit reasons. There's actually very little reason to stay at home.

Tell us your best 3 reasons as to why Ward should continue to stay at home including names of better opponents than Froch.

Or STFU.....

None of those are legit reasons except 3, which is on Ward.

Legacy?...

Of course, Ward, as an American, should dictate terms. He's superior, after all.

Yours,

A lowly European.

Wait, I could have sworn Ward already handled him, pretty damn decisively as well. I mean Froch's will was broken, at times Froch would even look at Smoger to separate Ward from him, the physicality was too hard for him to handle. When you lose in that kind of fashion, you have no calling cards, none whatsoever. If Froch doesn't want to move, and take it upon himself to avenge the lost...I honestly won't think any less of him but Ward isn't obligated to move here.

Its weird to see these americans not searching for any pride anymore in their fighters. Land of the brave ....

Yoz is right. Every single one of the top SMW's but Ward have travelled and every single one of them has a defeat from fighting in their opponents back yard.

So of course it's about legacy. If Ward can take a couple of top class wins abroad, he'd have done what no other SMW in the history of the division have done.

They have no answer. Ward has no excuse for pulling this Über-Ottke behaviour.

That's weak, I don't see the adversity in that, especially from someone as mentally as strong as Ward. We can complain about how he had it his way throughout the tourney, but at this point in time all we can do is zip it because the man has established himself, is head and shoulders above everyone else, hence he's the last guy I'd be ordering to move.
