Comments Thread For: Froch Says No Thanks To Andre Ward, Eyes Chavez Jr.

[RawDawgHasSpokn]

I wouldn't be opposed to Froch/ Chavez Jr., depending on which Chavez Jr shows up on fight night. Froch's close to retirement and he's not beating Ward. Get the money when you can, legacies died a long time ago.

He isn't interested right now because:

A. Ward can't even fight because of his legal issues

B. Ward isn't a PPV fighter in America

C. Froch has more lucrative options at the moment

This has been explained to you repeatedly but you don't get it. Froch can fight Ward at a later time when Ward gets his act together.

Dude, Froch ain't fighting Ward again and you know it. And the reason why is because he can't beat him. You know it. I know it. And so does anybody else with knowledge of the situation. So in the end, this is pointless debate. I don't think much of Froch as a fighter anyway. So ultimately, it does little to affect how I view him. And for those who love him. If his lack of sack when it comes to Ward doesn't bother you (plural), its all gravy baby.

So what? Well it's the main point. Why did Stevenson need another tune-up? That's where the duck occurred.

Hmmm. So why no mention of that in the lawsuit?

You're saying Froch should fight the much tougher option for far less money? Froch just drew 80,000 people and made around 16-17 million USD for that fight, between his 8 million pounds guarantee, the pay-per-view revenue and his cut of that 80K gate. Ward has never made more than 3 million per fight, drew no more than 5K fans in his hometown and still has the nerve to demand Froch fight him in America. Nobody is dis*****g that Ward beats Froch and likely everyone else at 168, but the guy is far from the most lucrative fight option.

He fought Ward in the States when the same guy wouldn't travel in the Super 6 when all the other fighters were (Dirrell included).

I know you support a bunch of boring Haymon duckers, but that's no reason to continually flood the threads of exciting and willing champs such Froch, Kovalev and Golovkin.

Froch fought Ward, he lost. He might fight him again, he might not but he doesn't have to do anything because he's paid his dues with one of the toughest runs in boxing.

[theboxingguru]

So you pick out the 1 fight out of Froch's last 15 fights which could be considered a soft touch and use it to say he ducks tough fights?

LOL....

You're saying he isn't fighting Ward because of money. He can't beat Ward and he knows it and Stevenson too risky for him at the time

[hitking]

You're saying Froch should fight the much tougher option for far less money? Froch just drew 80,000 people and made around 7 million USD for that fight, between his 8 million pounds guarantee, the pay-per-view revenue and his cut of that 80K gate. Ward has never made more than 3 million per fight, drew no more than 5K fans in his hometown and still has the nerve to demand Froch fight him in America.

I really don't care about the financial part of it. I'm a former athlete and that's just how I'm built. If you beat me I wanna come back and beat you. That's just the way my mind thinks. Strickly from a competition standpoint, IMO Froch should be the one pushing for the rematch, not Ward. And to me not wanting the rematch speaks volumes about his true character as a man and fighter

Let's see. GGG is willing to go to 68 for Chavez Jr but not Ward. Froch has readily avenged the controversial Groves fight. He avenged Kessler and wants to fight him again. I'm sure he would have no issues reaching Dirrell, who some thought beat him. Yet has no interest in avenging his loss to Ward. From where I'm sitting, sounds like you support a couple duckin' f.ucks your damn self
