Credit to Froch last night, he closed the show in a fight I thought he would lose.

Having said that, will Froch dare to rematch Ward - the number 1 man in the division - or, will he take the cashouts vs Chavez, Degale, Kessler III?

Meaningless fights really, he has to fight Ward again who basically dominated him coming in injured.

Froch has had a real second wind with his career since the Bute fight. He's a much improved attacking fighter these days and if you add Ward's inactivity into the equation this could be a much closer fight than the first

froch has a far better resume than ward. plus ward has been too inactive.

Golovkin is not #1 at 160 either, Chavez is not #1 at 168, Kovalev is not #1 at 175, Matthysse is not #1 at 140.

People would all rather watch them, let the runners and clinchers go run and clinch.

Ward did not dominate froch, he clearly won the first rounds, the second half of the fight was very close imo

Nah, he dominated. The championship rounds were interesting because Ward got tired, but Froch still won 2 or 3 rounds at most in the fight.

Froch is the number 1 Super Middleweight in the world. He defends his titles, fights his mandatory, and fights the up and coming challengers. Everything he does is what a real champion does.

Ward could get back to number 1, but he's not going to do it sitting on his arse.

TBH nobody wants to see Ward-Froch again. Obviously it's the best fight to be made in terms of the rankings at 168 but it's boring and because of the styles of both fighters I believe we will see exactly the same outcome as the first fight.

It is very strange however that everyone loves Froch and how Froch is selling out stadiums all whilst Ward is No. 1 in the division but has nobody to fight and is not respected at all. It's quite rare and you don't see it often when you don't have to be the best to be the peoples champion.

You sound upset because the Golovkin's and Chavez's and Kovalev's and Matthyse's aren't as good as these "runners and clinchers" lmao
