    Ward getting injured is a blessing for him actually as far as allowing new opponents to emerge in and around his Division so when he returns he will have plenty challenges available for him

    but what they may do is AVOID HIM and use the "HE IS NOT A DRAW" "HE IS BORING" excuse to avoid fighting him. Froch just used that excuses and would much rather pursue a more WINNABLE FIGHT by fighting Kessler for a 3rd Time.

    168 or 175 You won't be considered the best at 168 or even 175 if you don't beat Ward

    Calling a fighter "BORING" is just a new way of DUCKING, when you don't want to fight a guy or don't want your favorite fighter to fight a guy because you know he can't win...you just call him "BORING".

    Remember Donaire and all his fans was calling Rigondeaux "BORING" and wanted to use that as a reason not to fight him?...They did that because he and his fans was NEVER CONFIDENT ABOUT THAT FIGHT! Same thing with Ward, some fans would rather him just go away instead of him embarrassing and schooling their favorite fighter. Froch know he can't beat Ward as does his Fans, Family, Promoter, Manager and Girl

        Great point. Its also pretty ironic when people call him boring because that's precisely what casual fans do. Real boxing fans look for substance. Ward is the top guy in those divisions no doubt. I think he beats everyone but yes I would like to see him fight them to remind people of his dominance.

        Froch's excuse for not fighting Ward is pathetic. Lost a lot of respect for him.

          ideally golovkin fights martinez while wards fights froch again, then the two can meet; depending on the outcomes of those two, ward can move up and try and conquer lh, I'd expect ggg to go back down to mw and reign for a sometime.

            Good post. Using the boring excuse is the worst cop out.

              To be fair there's a difference between Rigondeaux and Ward. Sure, you can argue that both of them are boring, but Rigo had 11 wins, 8 by KO and was dropping his opponents all the time. Just look at Marroquin who was dropped 2 times I think, Kennedy 5 times and Ramos 2 times.

              Ward on the other hand has 1 KO victory in 3 or 4 years and it was against a drained Chad Dawson.

              So who's more boring? A guy who's been taking out guys recently or a guy who can't KO his opponents?

              And btw why the fuck you have to beat Ward to be the best at 175? Ward doesn't even want to fight at 175!

                  Bute...

                  Lmaooo.

                  The same Bute that went life and death against a 12 fight Grachev?

                  I really liked Bute, but Froch took his soul.

                  Now if he comes out and beats Pascal in impressive fashion....

                    Yep but they say he's scared. The same Bute who should've lost to Andrade in the 1st fight. He's a good start at 175 though.

                      He's boring and fights extremely dirty, it's his own fault his career is going down the drain.
