Froch a warrior? haha

[Skip Bayless]

i dont understand froch and his fans. he clearly loses to ward in semi neutral territory by a landslide (atlantic city isnt oakland), i only gave him 2 rounds, and by the end of the fight he looks completely demoralised to the point where he does not even want to think about a rematch. he beats a few tomato cans and an old kessler and suddenly he can now ko ward haha

now he only wants to fight in ward in uk, wouldnt a warrior want to avenge their defeat? does froch really think he won the first fight and the judges screwed him out of a win? does a true warrior really need his fans to cheer every punch for him to have a chance to win?

ward is the no. 1 guy, if you want to fight him you dont get to make the rules especially if he kicked your ass already with a broken hand. if froch was a warrior he would agree to what ever terms and fight ward. i doubt he wants the fight, he is just going to ride the hype train

Troll post, nothing more.

If Ward was smart, he'd fight in the UK because that's where it makes most business sense.

Read between the lines and stop getting caught up in the hype and the **** that doesn't matter.

Atlantic City is in the USA, Ward's home country.

It's very ****** to claim it's "neutral territory".

If Froch fights Ward in London, is that "neutral territory" because it's not Froch's hometown?

[GoogleMe]

Watch who he fought and how he fought them. He took some heavy ass bombs from Kessler in both fights. Pretty sure that nose broke from Kesslers right in the first, and he fought on like nothing happened.

Is it 5 hours by plane from Nottingham to London?

2nd question:

How many European countries would you cross driving the same distance east to west as from Oakland to New Jersey?


To the TS - Froch is a warrior whether he fights Ward again or not. The quality of opponent fought over the past 3 years is head and shoulders better than anyone in boxing.

You must have some notches on your shield to look down on Froch?

Nationalistic support isn't a matter of distance. It's a matter of boundaries.

Distance like that serves no purpose other than time taken to travel there lol. Nottingham and London are just as politically, culturally and economically different than Oakland and Atlantic City are. That is American thinking, but I can see why you'd take that view because of the size of your country. It is just the same, but on a much shorter scale given the size of the UK.

I like the European thing. Fighters could fight in Germany, but could and probably would be robbed in neighbouring Russia which isn't so far away. It isn't distance that is important, it is how culturally/politically relatable they are, and the relation with the fighter. Even besides this, if any place was going to be scrutinised to all hell, it would be Wembley Stadium - it's a symbolic place of the nations capital.

You can argue its easier for Froch fans to get there, but if Ward fans travelled so far to get to Atlantic City, which you claim to be so far away and so different from Oakland, surely getting to London isn't that much more of a stretch? It is an international city after all. But noone expects Ward fans to be a majority anywhere other than Oakland

If Atlantic City was neutral/semi-neutral for Ward, then London is for Froch. I don't think Froch has had any major fights in London other than Kessler, and the scoring seemed a fair bit better than Froch/Ward in the US.
