Comments Thread For: Froch Says No Thanks To Andre Ward, Eyes Chavez Jr.

[Drunk Punch]

Sucks to be Andre Ward eh?

He's suffering from Rigondeaux syndrome. Too good too be fighting lesser fighters and not exciting enough to interest the tv networks. With a promoter who doesn't know how to promote him and no fan base because he's never fought outside his hometown.

If I was Ward I would move up to 175, jump across the border to Canada and sign up with a Canadian promoter and get in some mega fights with Pascal, Bute, Stevenson etc, then later he could target Kovalev, Hopkins and retire happy with some money in the bank.

Stevenson had a final eliminator against Don George in October 2012. He became Froch's mandatory after that fight.

Froch fought Mack in November 2012.

I know but people are saying he doesn't want to fight Ward because of money and Ward not being a good enough draw, but my contention is Ward and Stevenson were too risky for him. I used the Mack example, to say he fought Mack in The UK and just dismisses a Ward fight all together without even the suggestion of Ward coming to the UK. That leads me to believe he just doesn't want to fight him.

So following the first fight with Froch. The semi-retirement because of eye issues followed by a couple unimpressive performances over journeyman and washed up fringe contenders made him #2 in the division. I swear you muthaf.uckaz will say any gotdamn thing.

And who had Stevenson beat? Seriously you guys are desperate.

And Froch was in negotiations to face Stevenson before the Kessler rematch came up i.e the bigger, better and more lucrative unification fight.

@ the idea of Froch being afraid of Stevenson.

I don't have any double standards. You just said you don't give a *** about what fighters made but in this post you say you understand the business side. You're the one flip-flopping out of control. Make up your mind.

My beef isn't with Froch getting his money. My beef is with ****** f.ucks like you applauding him for doing the same thing you criticize other fighters for. Don't see what's so hard about that to understand. Would it help if I said it with a goofy accent?

So you pick out the 1 fight out of Froch's last 15 fights which could be considered a soft touch and use it to say he ducks tough fights?

LOL....

Ward is the most avoided fighter out there.
Him and Thurman.

Froch, Chavez jr, GGG, Martinez, all ducked him lol.

Froch fought Ward, so it wasn't a very successful duck.

What other fighters? I already told you how it's different from Stevenson ducking Kovalev.

The same f.uck ass clowns that get on here everyday b1tchin' about Floyd. And get on here b1tchin' about folks duckin' GGG. And who get on here b1tchin' about Stevenson chasing the money and telling Kovalev to kick rocks. And the same ones applauding Froch for blatantly ducking the best fighter in his division. Y'all are some f.uckin' clowns. And if I could, I would slap the **** outta y'all. And when you hit the ground I'd kick you in your f.uckin' heads till you stop moving.

Her moron! It's not even a similar situation. People WANTS to see Kovalev/Stevenson.. We already saw Ward/Froch. Froch admits Ward is the better man, but says he's boring and with a poor fanbase. Which is truth. Stop trying to look smart with that bs logic.

Who the f.uck has Groves beaten? Didn't stop Froch from fulfilling his mandatory there.

WTF is there to be desperate about? You're sitting here attempting to justify Froch not wanting to fight the unquestioned best in his division. Meanwhile, you and the rest of these ****** f.ucks love to yap about what a take-on-all-comers warrior he is.
