    Comments Thread For: Joe Calzaghe: Andre Ward Beats Froch, Carl Can't Adapt

    Carl Froch's top target is Andre Ward as he is determined to avenge a points defeat by the American in 2011.

    Having beaten Mikkel Kessler on points in May, Froch is keen to make amends for the only other blemish on his record, but British great Joe Calzaghe would back Ward for a repeat win.

    When asked about a rematch, he said: "Very difficult because I don't think Carl can adapt. [Click Here To Read More]

    ugh!

    I'm actually a Calzaghe fan who has travelled to Vegas to see him fight, so I guess you'd say a pretty big fan... But i'm getting a little bit fed up of seeing his digs on the super middles.

      How is that a dig? Most people think Ward beats Froch. Yesterday people were having a go at him for saying Groves has a chance against Froch.

      These guys get asked for their opinions and they answer. It's not like they call press conferences from their houses every morning to announce this ****.

        We all know that Froch could not adapt to Ward's style. Just because Ward is the "adapter"... Ward is not a boxer according to the usual semantic standards.
        Ward is a great athlete who "adapts" in the ring. That's what he does best: he adapts to the opponent style and nullifies it.

          I agree - you've got to really ask yourself how much a fan is Craig M who can't work this out.

            I admittedly misread the quote, but other person who replied has a point.

              Disrespectful to Froch, and that's from a Ward fan.

                you can be asked and it still be a dig. It was a dig. Its like the worst thing to say about a fighter. You might say that he's keeping it real and being honest but the truth is that if they respected eachother then he wouldnt have answered it that way. He couldve said that its just a tough style matchup or whatever but instead he basically calls him a dummy......lol

                  I don't think so. I'm a bigger fan of Froch than Ward, but that was an honest assessment.
