    And what drawing power did groves have in the first fight? "Drawing power" wasn't an issue only a few months back when that fight took place.

      I can't blame Froch for chasing bigger (and more entertaining) money fights with entertaining guys like Golovkin or Chavez Jr.
      Nothing is that small

        you guys don't actually know anything about boxing

        it's such a funny look when you say things with confidence.


        by american standards, ward's a good draw.

        he's not cotto, mayweather, maruqez, pacquiao, canelo, but he draws very well. other than mayweather, none of those guys fight in their hometowns. hell, other than mayweather, none of them are american at all!

        10K in oakland. that's a great gate for an american fighter in his hometown.


        he's also one of the more popular fighters on regular HBO, doing ratings just behind golovkin and cotto.



        newbies.

        if you guys ever want to learn something about boxing, or prince ward, PM me.

            Carl Froch is a Legend in the UK.

            Limited skills and talent but fought the best and for the most part beat the best.

                No one in Britain is under the illusion that Carl is a highly skilled boxer.
                He is appreciated for his performances and fighting the best there is.
                He is entertainment and this is why I watch boxing.
                So less of the straw man arguments please.

                  If Carl Froch is a hype job then there isn't a single world level boxer who appear on television who isn't.

                  Criticising him for not going balls out to a fight semi-retired boxer who has his number is not barely even ducking. He fought him already and got handled in a bit of a crap fight that hardly anyone enjoyed.

                  Ward is a level above him. But more importantly a rematch really is just a waste of Froch's time and some poor bastards money.

                      A Floyd Mayweather Jr fan making a thread about hype jobs? Bit rich.
