Comments Thread For: Froch: No Lie, If No Chavez in Las Vegas - I'll Retire!

[Cracaphat]

Can't fight in March.Chavez jr can't get in shape in such a short space of time.

[thack]

Froch offered Ward the fight in England and Ward turned it down... Ward fought a nobody for peanuts...

Ward doesn't even have a promoter to negotiate a fight for him... There is no way Froch should wait on Ward... Ward's legacy should have asterisk next to it as well because he never left his country for the fight and didn't subject himself to the European blood-testing protocol that all other Super 8 Tourney fighters had to subject themselves to.

Did you read what I wrote ?

Why retire this early? No Chavez I'm retiring... I'm sure how to take this... Maybe he should get Mr.Slappy out of retirement

I did, and you made some good points there. I've head about how Ward avoided the PED tests the other Super 6 fighters had to do, and his long time association with a known "steroid doctor". That's one of the reasons I've never been a fan of his.

I also just read about Ward's signing with Roc Nation, so now I'm wondering what Froch's reaction would be if Ward did an about face and decided he would come to the UK for that fight after all?

I doubt it will happen though. Andre likes home advantage and Froch would be able to insist on doping tests for a UK fight.

so he wont fight Ward unless its in London, he'll retire if he cant fight chavez jr in Vegas. Why doesnt he fight ward in vegas? or he doesnt trust america, because he believes he was robbed in the ward fight. Ward beat him with one arm.

Early?

He's almost 40 and is clearly thinking about retirement, it's never a good idea to hang around when you want to retire.

Very true. Just seems like an early retirement, for being 37 and starting a career at 25. I think he has some fights left in him but if he no longer has the desire than he should hang them up.

Ward won't fight in Vegas come on... it was a surprise he fought Froch in Atlantic City.

Yeah but what about...

Andre Ward: "If I beat Kovalev, then what?..."

How about moving back down to 168 and fighting the same opponents who are still available to you now lol?

Ward fights all-comers right lol? But when it comes to blood-testing in Europe or Kovalev...then it's "If I beat Kovalev, then what...?"
