Comments Thread For: Froch: Ward is a Horrible Fight, Rather Face Kessler

[yoz]

Let's be honest, a Ward fight is a money fight, the UK fans know well who he is. The same can be said for Hopkins and Kessler. The only difference is that Kessler provides an exciting fight. It's up to Froch basically.

Froch-Ward doesn't fill a stadium; Froch-Kessler III does.

Get real, man. This would be a Box Office bomb.

This kinda bugs me out. Froch is such a competitor that it's hard for me to understand him feeling this way about fighting one of the top guys today regardless of what you think strategy he will come to the ring with. look you have to stop him from using whatever tactics he (Ward) is using and if you cant, then your not good enough.

Same goes for Floyd Jr. People say this n that "oh he's boring" or "oh he just runs all night" ect...The fact remains. If you cant stop him from doing what he is doing and lets not forget that what Floyd Jr does gets him the W, then your simply not good enough.

What do you want? They've fought before, so its not a duck.

Carl knows Ward is a stylistic nightmare. Its that simple. He'll chase the money in the UK, fighting in front of 50,000 people, whilst Ward sells c.4,000 tickets in his hometown.

And Carl is a warrior; he didn't butt/clinch Kessler into submission. He stood and traded with him.

He's a warrior, and has a brain, too. He can make more fighting Groves or Kessler.

i hate fans of boxers who constantly talk **** without knowing the facts. all you heard after froch/kessler 2 was 'ward is ducking', 'ward is scared he dont want to fight abroad' when in reality froch dont want a rematch because he knows what will happen. kessler 3 aint happening i guarantee it, kessler looked spent after the second fight. groves/degale fight aint happening yet. kessler was looking for a way out during the ward fight, he quit deal with it

Stop ****riding, Ward should have been DQd against Kessler.


You're an idiot.

[Ravens Fan]

no body wants to see Ward rematch unless we get a referee who cuts down on the holding Froch won't have much of a chance

They could tie one of Wards hands behind his back and I would still pick him to beat Froch.

lol Froch is looking like a yellow coward. It's okay though it's not like Ward is chasing him down or anything. As long as Carl is happy to retire being known as an "Also Ran" or "#2" then it's okay. Until he beats Ward decisively he will always be in Andre Ward's shadow.

Translation (Froch): I simply and plainly CANNOT beat Ward so bring me more leftovers.

They aren't money fights. It's simple.

Cleverly is a nobody. Kessler is still the money fight, then Groves.

That's the biggest pile of BS.

Hopkins in the UK not a money fight. Cleverly Froch not a money fight. Wtf?

[switchsouthpaw]

Lol. Ward won their fight "easily." What does Ward need to prove? He beat everyone put in front of him, at the top level, and did so by miles. It wasn't like their first fight was remotely close. I like Froch, but he's delusional and at worst, in denial over a fight he lost badly.

[SAJ10]

If you're as 'great' a fighter as Froch proclaims you fight the best.

Not hide behind excuses because you are not good enough to beat a certain style because of your own deficiencies as a fighter.

The difference between Froch and Calzaghe is when Joe beat Kessler he didn't say - I won't step up and face Hopkins the best LHW because he has a tricky and boring style, he said, I need to beat him to become the 2 weight Ring Champ.

Froch can't have the attitude he has or he can forget his delusional legacy claims, as he's known right now as no:2 in one division.

You have to beat the best to be the best. Saying I don't want to fight the best because the are horrible and not exciting does not qualify you to proclaim yourself a great fighter, particularly when you're only ranked no:2 in your division.
