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

[PunchyPotorff]

Obviously Froch wants nothing to do with Ward he got schooled with relative ease which is why he's using the he isn't a draw excuse as a reason not to fight him

Obvious to you. Others use some boxing biz sense in making their opinion of the situation. Froch/Ward is boring, low turnout, low gross. Froch/Jr is high gross, high turnout, big money, exciting fight. It would be completely ignorant to not realize that. Or maybe you work at Burger Land when you've been offered a management job at the aircraft plant?

Ward beat him soundly and easily. Ofcourse he doesnt want to fight him again. Its a clear duck but Froch has a great resume so Ill give him the benefit of the doubt. But its no secret why he wont fight Ward again.

Switch hitting now. I read the comparisons you put forth in this tread. With the glaring difference of course being that Froch already got dominated by Ward.

Heavy weight fighters do not apply here. There's really no where else for them to go. And the majority of the times Hopkins fought those guys, none were superstars.

Andre Ward can move, has already beaten Froch, but wants to sit at 168 and expect things to be handed to him just because. There is quite literally nothing at 168 for him, seriously. If you feel that Froch should jump at the chance to allow Ward to piggy back off of his accomplishments as the lesser fighter, then just say so.

Dude, Hopkins literally sat around for nearly a decade recycling opponents that he had dominated waiting for the welterweight superstars, who were lesser fighters to come to him. Wouldn't go overseas to fight Calzage who wad tearing it up a division north. Had no interest in avenging his loss to Roy Jones who had settled in at light heavy. Was Hopkins trying to "piggyback" off DLH and Tito? And even after he dominated and stopped both. He would have gladly rematch both.

Either way. Y'all talk outta both sides of your assh.oles when it comes to this Ward-Froch thing. Outta one side y'all say he's trying yo piggyback off Froch. Outta the other side you say he won't travel to London, where the fight would be most lucrative. If all he's looking for is an easy big payday. Would sense does it make not to go fight Froch where it would make the most money?

Ya'll?? I said the fight is worthless and sure Froch is ducking and with good reason. That's what I said. So if you're going to quote me, talk about what I said. Sounds like you're the 1 talking out your mouth hole and a$$ hole to me.

How can you duck someone you've already fought and lost wide to? That literally doesn't make the least bit of sense.

If there was any demand or reason for Froch to fight Ward again, he would.

My stance is simple. A large percentage of the regulars on this site spend a lotta time b1tchin' about fighters ducking. So when I see many of those same people justifying and even applauding clear ducks by their favs. It ****s on the lil bit of credibility they have.

Since they fought, Froch has made himself into a star whilst Ward grows more stagnant by the day. Ward really needs to step his game up or show willingness to make concessions i.e come to the UK.

You keep babbling on about this but refuse to give examples. Seems you're just butthurt for the sake of being butthurt.

f there was any demand or reason for Froch to fight Ward again, he would.

They're clearly #1 and #2 in their division. There's no one in the division that is a threat to either. And neither has any interest in moving up. Would you rather see the two best fighters in the division fight each other or fight other no hopers?
