    Froch has actually been fighting and defending his title whereas Andre has been sitting on his arse.

    How is Froch a coward for getting his title stripped exactly?

      It's called negotiating. According to that source Froch was unwilling to negotiate so they stripped him.
      You just said they were negotiating but that Froch was unwilling to negotiate. Which one is it?

        I thought this was going to purse bids if they didn't reach an agreement. I'm a little bit disappointed we didn't get to see that.

          But honestly, Froch waiting around for a messer like Chavez Jr. was always going to be a recipe for disaster, it has already left him inactive for a year at the age of 37 and two titles down.
          People can talk all they like about paydays and that but everyone knows wasting all this time on Chavez Jr while other proper fighter who will also bring some money to the table is a bit of a joke. Hopkins would do decent numbers Im sure GGG would do decent numbers Degale or Groves again would do decent numbers. It's still a sport I don't see many other champions waiting about for a big name who are only decent contenders in the division below for a fight. Froch has had a great career but acting like he is not the main culprit in these other fights not being made is wrong. It looks like he only wants this Chavez fight.
          This source could be bs but if Frochs team was unwilling to negotiate Froch is to blame for this fight not being made not Ward

            It's not complicated Dirk. WBA ordered the fight. The lineal champion was willing to give Froch a rematch. The lineal champion was also willing to do it in Froch's home country. Froch named one venue and refused to listen to anything else. He knew his terms were unreasonable. He knew the fight wouldn't happen under those terms. He didn't want the fight to happen. He didn't want to avenge his loss. He didn't want to fight the lineal champion.

            His wife's still hot though.

              .

              I never said "they were negotiating". I said Ward tried to negotiate.

              Weebler said Froch put the fight on the table and Ward rejected it.

              I said, Ward countered that (which is negotiating) meaning he said he would go to the UK just not Nottingham.

              The twitter dude said Froch was stripped because he wasn't willing to negotiate.

              I have no idea what went on behind the scenes but if the Twitter dude is right, then Froch clearly had no interest in the fight. And I don't know why you would argue otherwise because you clearly agree that he doesn't need it and wants one last payout before walking away.

                Froch wants to fight in a big fight in Las Vegas, or at the City Ground in Nottingham.

                Chavez Jr is the only one at the weight who can bring him the big fight in Las Vegas, that's why his name keeps coming up.

                Ward could have been an opponent for the Nottingham fight, but he turned down the venue and they were negotiating:

                Ward: "from what I understand my team has been in talks with Eddie Hearn"

                  Will Chavez be a bigger fight than Hopkins if he is beat by Fonfara?

                    Good news. Froch was never the real WBA champion to begin with.

                      without saying it you are confirming the tweet.

                      Carl wants what you posted. He isn't getting that so he isn't willing to further negotiate. Hence, he got stripped.
