Comments Thread For: Carl Froch: I Would Fight Andre Ward in Las Vegas

[lefthook2daliva]

Ha this is f**king priceless. I love Americans but less than 50% of them own a passport, never mind have any grasp of World Geography.

On holiday in Domincan recently I was asked by some Americans 1) Had I met the princess and 2) was the UK next to Germany. And these were intelligent professionals, not illiterate rednecks.

Have a look around you before you call people ignorant.

I think that was the point. Smarmy Europeans always talkin' smak but it goes both ways, fool.

USA is geographically large on it's own and you gotta go all the way to Brazil to find something other than English or Spanish as the main language (if I'm not mistaken Spanish shares w/Portuguese) and as much as you won't want to admit this, most Americans have at least a smattering of Spanish. ****ing condescending euros, alot of you all you gotta' do is get in your car for 20 minutes and you need another language or two and maybe a passport.

Don't hate us because y'all are too ****ing ****** to get organized.

And...

You don't wanna fight Dre in your next fight, not because he won't be available later in the year, but because you won't earn as much after he shames you again. and that will happen in Nottingham, London, Vegas or the backyard of your home.

Yes, Ward is a joke. He's undoubtedly the best at 168, a fabulous technician, a pretty nice guy, an undefeated champion, but he struggles to sell more than 5000 tickets in his hometown. Are you really telling me that's not a joke?

There was a time when Froch got a lot less love from fans and when he received far less attention in the UK than he deserved. So mocking Ward for the same thing is a bit silly.

hah, froch coming to terms with reality now that he's come down from the clouds.

Froch solved that problem by travelling, fighting anyone and being involved in exciting fights with the best of the best. When Ward can say he did the same, I'm sure he'll have far more fans.

@Weebler II, Froch being willing to to go Stateside kinda reduces any leverage Hearn would have in negotiations. I still think the fight makes more money in the UK and therefore bigger profits for Hearn.

Froch doesn't care about Hearn's negotiations. Hearn said no catchweight for Hopkins, Froch says he's willing to fight Hopkins at 171-172.

Similarly, Hearn wanted Froch to take on a soft touch after Ward. Froch said no, he wanted Lucian Bute.

Carl Froch is his own man, not a puppet.

Actually the bottom line is that Froch SAYS that but has done nothing to PROVE it.

Froch has already fought Ward in the US, he has proved it. He said earlier this year he will fight Ward again in the US if he has to. Carl Froch has nothing to prove in terms of taking fights. He is ready and willing.

A neutral site fight against Kessler won't pull big bucks and Froch knows he got a fair shake in NJ but couldn't expect one in Germany or Denmark.

People act like Froch has all these options but he doesn't. Kessler won't come to the UK, Froch won't go to Denmark. They aren't draws outside of their home countries any more than Ward is a draw outside his home state.

I don't think you realise how close Amsterdam is to the UK, the UK fans will travel just like they did to the Haye-Klitschko fight.

I guess Froch could fight bums like Groves and Degale and get paid. David Haye and Amir Khan made good livings fleecing the British public. Maybe it's time Froch started robbing them too.

Amir Khan is another fighter willing to take on anyone, Froch doesn't want Groves or DeGale you're barking up the wrong tree just to try to bash European fighters, why bother?

LOL Atlantic City was actually closer to the UK than Vegas.
A neutral venue would be doing it in Canada.

It's mind-fuckingly atrocious to see that there is even the slightest, infinitesimal amount of excitement for a Ward-Froch II showdown. After the Brit gets embarassingly outclassed by the American, it's quite honestly bizarre to see any form of hype for a rematch.

What if Gatti secured some good wins after he was utterly facefucked by Mayweather. What if a Gatti-Mayweather II was going to be made, and pissface fans got excited about it? Granted, not the best analogy, but close fucking to it.

No it's not the best analogy, nor is it close to it. Mayweather stopped a shot Gatti in 6 rounds, Froch went 12 away from home and rightly or wrongly it was 115-113 on two cards. Furthermore, they're the two best in the division, Mayweather and Gatti were not.

For fucks sake man....

What would be analogous about the two fights?

They're both bloody mismatches you numbskull.

I'm not calling for the rematch, but it's not Mayweather-Gatti, far from it (as opposed to 'close to it' as you stated).
