What makes you so convinced? You're a little bit brainwashed by the pro American posters on here, just something I've noticed. Froch has every chance of beating Ward.
It's in the US. Ward is faster Ward is dirtier (if he has to). Froch can be dirty if provoked, but he does so in an obvious way that is easily picked up by the ref. to Ward being dirty is a trained science. Froch is stronger ____________ "stronger" rarely get's fighters very far....
Just a question, but why do people say that Ward's chin is questionable? Is it because it has not been tested yet, or was he in trouble in the past when tagged?
It’s just that he has yet to prove, unconditionally, that he has a good chin (not that he has to prove anything if his defence continues to be as good as it is). The one time where he was hit cleanly, he was sent to the canvas. He was also rocked by Bika in the latter rounds after taking a shot to the temple, if I remember correctly. It’s just speculation at the moment. That’s all. As mentioned, his defence and overall maturity is so high, that he’ll rarely be put in those situations, and we may never know how good his chin really is. He’s similar to Mayweather in that regards.
Froch, as good as his recent run of opponents have been and as awkward as he can be, just doesnt really impress me that much in the ring. Ward just seems to be cut from the same cloth as Mayweather and Hopkins. He may not be pretty on the eye, but hes very intelligent and extremely effective at what he does. Quite simply, shrewd, is the ideal word to describe him.
Glass jawed Taylor? Taylor has always had a good chin. He's been knocked out due to poor stamina (Pavlik), a ridiculous puncher (Abraham), and a combination of poor stamina and a war (Froch). Honestly, Taylor did really well against Froch. He dropped iron-chinned Froch who took some bombs from other fighters. Froch has power. He hits hard, but he's fought iron-chinned Glen Johnson, iron-chined Abraham, and a non-engaging Dirrell. You can't really gauge his power against these guys. I don't think he's got one-punch KO power, but I'm pretty certain he hits plenty hard. It's hard to take a post seriously that's filled with so much hate, because it's hard to tell if you're biased or not.
A dignified response. I just don't see it myself, this is gonna be a really close fight and not the one sided beatdown for Ward that many people on here are assuming its gonna be.
