Comments Thread For: Froch Rips Andre Ward: Nobody Wants To See You Fight!

[bigboxerABC]

This is the last fight for Froch and he could sell out any stadium in England. With that said, he wants no part of Andre Ward as he knows that he will be beaten again.
You guys can call Ward boring as much as you want but when he steps up to fight the big guys at 175 you will see how fans with want to see him fight.
Ward vs Stevenson
Ward vs Sergey Kovalev
Ward vs Artur Beterbiev

Froch wants someone who he can beat to ride off into the sunset hence his willingness to come to the US to fight Chavez. Let him take GGG in England as that would be an easy fight to make. GGG would kill him with those hooks to the rib cage.

Ward never made fighting specifically at Wembley an issue. He is objected to fighting in Nottingham, which is right because they fought on East Coast the first time. Ward did say Wembley would be great, but not a requirement. Froch is trying to twist Ward's words and making it seem as if Andre wants a Wembley fight. Let's not pretend as if there are no other arenas in London or rest of UK.

The UK is one thing, Nottingham is something different,” Ward told Sky Sports. “Now he’s saying: ‘Well, I came to America, now you need to come to Nottingham.’ The thing is this: Atlantic City is thousands of miles away from my home. That’s a road fight, a six-hour plane ride for me. I’m not willing to come to Nottingham, I don’t think I should have to, but Wembley Stadium? The UK as a whole, I would love to come.”

It blows me away how ****** andre ward is. He won the super six & you think that would have catapulted him to worldwide stardom. Instead the guy he beat won another 2 belts against Bute & Kessler & got to fight in a soldout Wembley stadium making millions. What has Ward done since? He beat chad dawson in a half empty arena 3 years ago, had a 2 year battle with goosen which he lost & had a win over Edwin rodriguez. Wow! A catch weight to fight Paul Smith? I like Andre Ward but he is the last guy who should be trying to dictate fight terms & venues. He has made one bad business move after another. He probably could have rematched Froch & had a lucrative fight against Bute in Quebec before froch got to him. There were big money fights out there for him if he was willing to go on the road. All these fights he could have won as well. He is a great fighter but he is not Floyd mayweather. He isn't a villain nor is he a popular icon like pacquiao. He is plain Jane andre ward. He has wasted years because he thought he was worth more then he actually was. He can ask Gamboa how that feels. Great fighter but terrible business man. Andre Ward has now resorted to social media trash talking to stay relevant. I never thought the super 6 champion would ever have to do that...Froch is right. who is andre ward?

froch is 37 & I don't think ward would have any trouble beating froch. it's all about money for froch at this point. why go to the states? he would making a fraction of the money he would make in England. I doubt they would sell out Wembley being ward is an unknown & has no ties what so ever to fighting in England. froch would make the most money fighting at home & so would andre ward if he decided to fight him in nottingham. If froch is going to lose, he is going to get paid doing it. the fight would be on HBO I bet which would even give them more money.

Why does Ward claim he wants to fight in England but not in Nottingham? Does he think he'll get robbed in Nottingham but not in London? What is his logic?

I don't think either guy really wants the fight. It's just talk for the media and fans to get hyped up about.

Froch has already said he would probably lose to Ward straight up

froch vs dirrell is a good place to start.

[Cechmate]

I consider myself a big Carl Froch fan, but wish he would STFU about Ward.

Either fight him or STFU.

So he thinks that was a robbery but he doesn't think he'll get robbed in London? It's the same Board of Control who'll appoint the same judges. The crowd will be completely pro-Froch.

Does he think its like his situation where fighting anywhere outside Oakland, no one gives a **** about him? What's the logic?
