Comments Thread For: Froch's Coach Sees Ward, GGG - Under Right Terms

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

CARL FROCH'S trainer believes the super-middleweight WILL fight again if the money's right.

But Rob McCracken has warned Froch against a return if cash is his only motivation.

It is almost a year since Froch stopped George Groves at Wembley Stadium and both he and promoter Eddie Hearn have recently voiced doubts over his fighting future.

But McCracken suspects there could be more to come from "The Cobra" despite voicing concerns about his motives.

"If he gets the terms that he wants to fight again I think he'll fight again," said McCracken.

"If he doesn't get the terms that he wants - he's very wealthy and doesn't have any pressure on him - then he won't.

How much does Froch believe he is worth ?

It is quite clear he can fight guys like Groves, Mack and DeGale and the Brits will pay PPV to see him, what did he average take home against in both Groves fights ?

Clearly his options are limited or he wouldn't be talking of retiring. If HBO could at least match his last take home from abroad coverage and let him take all UK revenue GGG would have the big career win needed to break into the elite, then he could headline his own PPV's potetially.

What has HBO to be afraid off ? Froch looked poor against Groves and Kessler, with Kessler nearly putting him out in the 11th and Groves schooling and dropping him in the first fight.

Unless the plan is for HBO to keep GGG at middle fighting blown up super welters, I don't see why they aren't so eager to get him a trademark win sooner, they should put the money up. Looking at Cotto and Canelo it is apparent neither will fight him as Cotto wants Mayweather and Canelo looks to want the Cotto fight. GGG is too strong at middle, he needs to challenge himself.

Why does Ward's name keep getting brought up?? Ward absolutely schooled Froch!!! No one wants to see that again, even if it is good seeing Froch lose. GGG is a very good fight though, bombs away for 6 rounds. Get that one made

Ward didn't school Froch. He won a competitive fight, on his home turf, by a clear, but close points decision, with Froch coming on strong at the end.

The longer Andre goes without doing anything, the more his fans need to build that win up into something it definitely wasn't.

After such a long time out, and without Victor Conte in his team, how do you know that Ward can perform to the same standard as before?

If Andre himself was as confident about that as you are, he wouldn't be insisting on "tune ups" against the likes of Paul Smith.

I guess the LA Forum is projecting to sell out at 12,600 for Golovkin/Monroe. If GGG's tv rating gets between Klitschko's and Alvarez's, then he's about as much a ppv attraction vs Froch in Vegas as Chavez would've been.

Maybe Golovkin/Lee fight in late August in a football stadium in Limerick on prime time UK tv, then Froch/Golovkin in Vegas on US ppv come November/December.

It was an absolute schooling and the scorecards didn't do it justice. Anyway why would we want to see someone who was clearly beaten by someone fight them again? Froch is an old man next to Ward and if anyone will be declining it's Froch. Nothing says he used steroids so that's poor! and he hasn't fought since Nov2013. He needs a pudding to shake some rust off with

Froch made £9 million for his last fight. Pounds not dollars.

Why is he going to get out of his bed to fight for less than half that against someone like Ward who would just frustrate the **** out of him all night or Golovkin who he'll have to have an absolute war with.

Froch has always maintained that if HBO put it on PPV, he'll face Golovkin. His position has never changed.

Oddly enough the British judge is the only one that scored that fight correctly. As for that home turf advantage, Ward was just as far from home as Froch was. And Ward fans don't have to do anything other than tell someone as delusional as some Froch fans to watch the fight again, only this time do it with their eyes actually open. There is also nothing wrong with Ward fighting another easy touch Englishman.

Lol, likkle Dirky talking like he is Froch's Michael Koncz.

Froch don't want any part of Ward. Dirrell gonna win his old IBF title and he wouldn't even wanna shadow box next to him again. Time to retire...

Why would he? Why? Use some logical reasoning instead of the generic "he wants no parts"- Froch is going to train 12 weeks to chase Dirrell around a ring for pittance and a belt he's already won and vacated??
