    Did Ward say he wanted the fight in Wembley? Because that's hilarious

      Andre Who? I like Ward.. He is a good boxer and a nice guy. But he is boring in and out of the ring. Zero Star power. Whiny. It's not if you win or lose.. it's how you win or lose..

Ward already clearly beat Froch while Froch admitted he has no chance of beating Ward outside of getting a decision in Nottingham. So don't pretend that Ward is the one who is scared of anything here.
        I was referring to his level of activity since 2011.

        Froch offered Ward the rematch, Ward turned it down. Nottingham is where it makes the most money, but Ward thinks it's a Wembley (80k) fight.

            I think Ward vs. Froch could pack Wembley, actually. I'm surprised Froch only wanted it in bumfuckistan...er... I mean...Nottingham.

              Ward handled him with one hand (left fractured in two) so, naturally he calls the shots in regards to the rematch location. Froch always tells people about his dream of fighting in Vegas, so why not Ward?

                Froch has been pretty inactive himself. Why would you go fight in the most corrupt boxing nation in the world. PREMATURE stoppages, ref helping hometown fighter get up after knockdown etc etc.we all know if ward fights in Nottingham he will not be able to win a decision

                  Are you "money" team or not Larry? Nottingham is where it makes the most money.

                  Remember when Floyd travelled to Atlantic City to fight Gatti because Arturo was the PPV guy?

                  Nottingham is world famous and Froch is the Sheriff.

                    The guy who took a year off only to comeback and still be considered the best fighter at 168...That Guy you know the guy that took the Cobra and turned him into a friendly little Garden Snake.


                    He took a year off and yet still nobody is convinced that anybody at 168 can beat Ward Enjoy Second Place Froch! "Froch Was Truly One Of The Greatest British Fighters Ever...BUT HE COULDN'T BEAT ANDRE WARD" will always be attached to him!

                      Ward couldn't fill Wembley even if Jay Z and Beyoncé did a free concert before the fight. People would watch the concert and leave before the fight began.
