    Ward isn't "slick".

    Froch doesnt like handling a fighter who can move around the ring well, he likes stationary targets like Abraham,Froch,Pascal etc..

    I can see Ward moving in this fight like a slick African American to prove that he is multi-dimensional

    Ward is like that other irish/african American Muhammed Ali.

    He's slick but can also hang with the rough stuff if needs be.

    A potetent breed of people are the Irish/African-Americans.

    Lets not foget that Froch has come on with his own boxing skills, lets see what happens when he trades with Ward.
    Ward is probably going to taste the power and run all fight, its probably going to be a stinker....

    Which is why his sole loss was to a straight-up orthodox white European.

    i'm actually not 100% sure that moving and being slick is the best way for Ward to beat Froch. I think Ward is a much better inside fighter than Froch. On the other hand, we've seen how Dirrell was able to neutralize Froch's offense with speed and movement, but neutralizing the guy's offense is not enough to win the fight. ward is gonna have to switch it up a little and he's gonna have to let those hands go.

    I think Froch's power is overrated, not least of all by himself. Apart from an exhausted Jermain Taylor who was already somewhat damaged goods, when did Froch ever stop, or even drop a world-class fighter?

    Besides, Ward didn't exactly run from the power of guys like Kessler, Bika and Abraham did he? Is Froch's power better than theirs? And if so, significantly enough so to make Ward "run" from it? Sorry, i don't buy it.

    He doesnt think his power is overated far from it when has he ever said that?
    I think Ward will be on the back foot all fight or he will get tagged.

    Please read a post thoroughtly before responding to it. I never said Froch says is power is overrated, i said that he himself overrates his power.

    And i repeat, i don't see any reason too consider Froch's power better than that of Kessler, Bika and Abraham, or at least not significantly better. Ward didn't run from them, and he won't run from Froch. He's not afraid of the possibility of getting tagged.
