Anyone else get the impression that Froch doesnt want to fight Ward ANYWHERE?

he didn't sound to enthusiastic when talking to Kellerman about it..

sounds like he'd rather give Kessler a third fight..

 

Yeah, because Froch has a long history of ducking fighters.

 

no one is in a hurry to get schooled like that twice

 

Yep,on the HBO interview thats basically what he said,complaining about Wards style saying"he isnt a brawler" wtf? so he has to be a mindless brawler to fight you now?

 

He already got beat by Ward and has no answer for it so it aint a duck,more like common sense

 

No I didn't, I think Froch made it clear he'd fight him in the UK, I'm not sure he would fight him in the States again though.

I don't think it would make a difference where they fight for the record, Ward is straight up better than Froch and wins anywhere it takes place, but I have no doubts Froch fights him in the UK if the offers there. Whether Eddie hearn wants to make the fight, that's more debatable

 

Froch isn't afraid of losing.. you fake Irishman trying to claim Ward as Irish.

 

It's clear he doesn't want to have to deal with a Ward again. Yet for some reason, all of the focus is on why Ward -- you know, the number one guy who's already beaten him easily -- isn't coming to the UK :roll:.

Froch doesn't want him. Eddie doesn't want him. The only thing that will change their minds, is if Ward does something they know he won't do (come to the UK). Otherwise, no, they won't be going out of their way to fight him. Even doing the most reasonable thing -- have the fight in Las Vegas -- is something they'll likely pass up on. Eddie will continue having fights for him in the UK and eventually make that British blockbuster with Groves.

 

There's nothing in it for Froch. He can't beat Ward and i think, deep down, he know's this. He makes more money than Ward, selles more tickets, is on PPV, is more exciting to watch, is more well known and has more options.

It's a bit strange, but Ward needs Froch more than Froch needs Ward even though Ward has a victory over him! Froch is Ward's only option at 168 now whereas Froch can fight Kessler or Groves.

 

So you are saying neither Ward or Froch want to fight each other?

 

Froch's competition is beyond criticism, and I'm sure he would fight Ward again, but I agree that's he's not very keen to. HOF career already, and there are some good fights out there (Hopkins, Kessler, Bute/Pascal winner, Groves/De Gale), if he wants to go down as a truly great fighter he would do well to beat Ward.

 

Of course he doesn't want to fight Ward again. Stumbling around like a drunk and eating jabs and uppercuts for 12 rounds isn't fun.

 

Froch looked like a fighter who just finished a 12 round war versus another world class fighter. Nothing less, nothing more.
