Froch: "Ward's gone up to 175 to avoid Golovkin"

[MDPopescu]

He's right about Ward not wanting to fight anyone. He's proven that repeatedly.

... Now one has to be a deep thinker in order to notice that, for years now, Ward doesn't want to fight anyone, anymore.

Froch definitely has a point. Since the Super 6 where Ward was contractually forced to fight some tough opponents he never faced one good fighter at his best weight.

He ducked GGG in 2013 (well documented by HBO) and in 2015 he did the same, whatever the haters say, its the truth.

All he fought was zombie drained Dawson, easy challenger Rodriguez and shot Paul Smith.

In the last year he tried dragging shot fighters to another weightclass and got them rejected by the commission, whenever he had the chance to fight a better opponent he found excuses, went inactive or had a swollen knee lol.

You guys remember that time Carl Froch said that thing that made sense?

Yeah I don't either.

I wouldn't say Ward moved up to avoid GGG, I just don't thing he can make the weight. But I also don't believe he wanted to fight GGF but instead used his name to bring attention to himself.

Another ****** post from you. What a surprise.

I definitely don't think Ward moved up to avoid GGG. I think he wanted a cash money fight before moving up to 175 but GGG would rather unify his division. It isn't a bad thing at all. Maybe in the future they can fight.

I think It's time to Froch to get over this loss.

either that or try to rectify the loss to Ward?

I am pretty sure Froch mentioned a 172lb "comeback" weight, which would suit Ward as well.

ward's career was a complete farce. during the super six froch had to fight in 4 different countries while ward only had to fight in his own and he was allowed to clinch and headbutt. we all know clinching is a huge advantage just look at the difference in floyd-maidana 1 and 2. lets stop pretending its skill or defense. he could have proved that those advantages didn't matter by actually doing something after the tournament but he did not.

It looks like Froch really has nothing to do since he's retired.

He's bored, has too much time on his hand, he's insecure about other men, he's delusional and most probably sexually frustrated....

Luckily, I have a solution to all his problems:

It certainly looks that way, doesn't it.

I have a feeling a Ward fight with Kovalev won't happen either.
