Comments Thread For: Froch: Andre Ward Not Coming To UK, It's All Hot Air!

[Teetotaler]

it was spot on you're just over emotional when it comes to those two.



lol no, the A-side determines on what terms the fight takes place. In this case you have a PPV fighter probably bringing 50,000 fans while the B-side is not PPV and sells about 7,000 tickets. It's quite a simple math.

Haha look at you trying to reason with those types of fans. They can't handle the truth

He is all but retired.

To get a better idea about how competitive Froch is/was..... check out his outstanding resume to date.

One of the most overrated resumes on this forum. He is 0-1 vs. Ward. Took him 2 fights to beat Kessler (Ward whitewashed Kessler the first time around). Got a hometown decision vs. Dirrell. Was literally seconds away from losing to a shot, blown-up Jermain Taylor.

He gets credit for taking Pascal and Bute's zeroes from me. Even though Pascal's best work came at LHW and Bute's career-best win is Sakio Bika, I still give him a lot of credit for those performances.

His wins over Abraham and Groves are very overrated. He gets more credit for the Abraham victory than Ward even though Dirrell was the one that really exposed Abraham and Groves is a nobody. It seems that the Brits have convinced themselves that 80K in attendance means that the victory actually means something.

Froch is a good fighter but he's 6 years older than Ward, with an equal resume. He's not Superman.

What a completely ******ed post.

It's not about money; Froch doesn't want to lose again, period. He wants to fight Chavez Jr and retire.... He will avoid Ward and Degale and retire if he has to.

It's 100% about money.

Froch will take the fight that brings him the most money, guaranteed. that happens to be against Chavez. If Ward was a £5million payday for him, he'd take that.

He's said this multiple times. He knows he could quite possibly lose to Ward. He knows it. But he also knows he has the chance to go down as an ATG - and he will - if he knocks out Ward.

Great rebuttal.

An ATG if he KOs Ward...

They must be serving LSD in your tea and crumpets, fanboy.

There's more chance of Froch ko'ing Ward than the other way round. Ward broke his hand hitting Froch in the head and he didn't even make him blink.

First off...pigeons, you're a fcuking ******. Ward beat Kessler, yes. Whitewashed? Not so much. It's kind of hard to look good after eating headbutt after headbutt and fighting a jap-clinch strategy. Two, are mayweather and pacquiao the only two fighters allowed to seek money fights? When did this become a thing? Froch earned his bones a long time ago. He can go out with a big money scrap without being called a duck. You guys are something else around here smh jesus

Ward fought at light heavy in the amateurs but walked around at 171. I've seen him weigh in at tourneys when he moved up. He was actually a small 165er. He was the #1 ranked guy at 165 but moved to 178 in hopes that his brother would win the Olympic trials at 165. And Froch doesn't remember(or know) much about the amateur circuit. You weigh in on fight night. Even tourneys you weigh in every day of the tourney(possibly Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). So many amateurs can't cut the same kind of weight as pros can because pros weigh in the day before and only one time. Golovkin fought most his senior amateur career at 165 but as a pro makes 160 comfortably and said he could make 154. Pros weighing in only one time the day before is ridiculously a great advantage over the amateur system. Heck in the amateurs guys like Berto and Porter fought years at 165. They had no chance at making 147(later 152) the day of the fight and if they won that day they would have to make weight the next day then the next day and possibly the next day.

can the meme makers knock up some memes about the whole ward/froch/phone situation?

thanks
