    He doesn't want the Ward rematch but why would he there's no need for one.

    They've fought already and he lost clearly.

    It's the as Marquez not wanting a Floyd rematch.

      He also said he's happy to fight Golovkin so why wasn't that quoted?

      Froch would fight Golovkin.
      Froch is avoiding getting in the ring with Ward at all costs and I find a fight against GGG to be much more dangerous for Froch. Now I'm not saying that GGG is better than Ward but the likelihood of Froch getting badly hurt and/or KO'd is far greater against GGG than Ward.

        He clearly lost to Kessler as well yet rematched him. Why not Ward?

          until marquez hooked up with a steroid chemist, he had no business at welterweight.

          froch and ward are almost the exact same size.

            HBO clearly parsed what was said. No real need for that unless they are trying to make the Froch/GGG fight, which IMO is the best fight for GGG to take to continue building his brand.

            Going to England and KO'ing Froch would be a much better win than SOliman. I don't think he gets a cotto fight (and frankly after his team's "financial sense" comments they shouldn't be surprised that Cotto does same thing). He isn't willing to fight Ward. Chavez IMO is not good enough to give GGG a challenge.

              Kessler/Froch was a very good, very competitive fight that deserved a rematch. Ward dominated Froch.

                I dont think Froch is willing to risk getting KTFO in his home town.

                  Well no he didn't clearly lose to Kessler did he.

                  Ward dominated Froch.

                    Anyone who thinks GGG is an easier fight than Groves for Froch is either delusional or British.

                    Groves might be quicker and more reactive, but GGG is a master tactician and has one of the best footwork I have ever seen in my life. Add to this his ferocious power and a very nice technique.

                    Do you really see Froch peppering GGG with some jabs and moving around?? Froch has NO lateral movement or what so ever. His only chance would be to survive for the 8 first rounds and look for a late TKO.

                    GGG vs Froch would be a huuuuuge fight. I am really eager to watch it. I think we are all getting tired of all those wasted big events, it's time for the promoters (and some fighters) to man up a little bit...

                      I think after the poor fan showing at MSG the fight would have to be in England if its made.
