    Very true. From what I see, I don't think Froch is in a hurry to avenge that second loss, but he's too prideful to admit it, or refuse the opportunity in front of his home fans.

    To be fair to Froch though, he would stand a better shot against Ward in a rematch if it happened at home.

    I really think it's up to Ward if he is up for the challenge (as long as he is being rewarded appropriately $ wise).

    Yes I would like to see Ward come over to the UK and beat Froch. The fight just makes perfect sense. Ward is clearly the superior fighter, in terms of financial reward it's the best fight available and Froch is now the consensus number 2 so it also adds to Wards legacy.

    Ward fighting overseas will earn him respect from the fans just like when Froch happily fought Taylor in the US and Kessler in Denmark. And Ward needs all the fans he can get if he is to make any serious money as at the moment he simply has no drawing power whatsoever, even in his home town he struggles to pull in a crowd.

    If he does it, it would finally shut up all the critics who have been lambasting him for always fighting at home.

    Why? He ****ing dominated Froch already. Froch needs to come to Andre's house, and you piece of **** Froch fans can suck on that. Tell you what, have Froch KO Bad Chad then we'll talk.

    I don't even know why we need to entertain that idea. Let them cry like a bunch of babies.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^


    Clear evidence that Froch is picking up the same level of lower class, brain-dead football fans that Hatton had following him for so many years.

    Of course, Ward should fight Froch is the UK. That's the biggest possible fight for Ward at this point. Who else he could possibly fight? Dirrell? Please.

    Yet, I know that Ward will not do it. He is just not this type of fighter. He is safety-first, no-risk fighter. He will continue searching for opponents for his backyard.

    I'd like to see it. Since the Ward fight Froch is 3-0 and beat Bute and Kessler and is clearly the top challenger to Ward. There are some good prospects out there but they need more fights before considering Ward and besides being the top contender Froch is probably the biggest money fight for Ward.

    I think Ward is a solid favorite in a rematch and thats why I'd like to see it in London. It evens the fight up a bit and makes a win for Ward more impressive. Put Ward-Froch 2 in the U.S and its only midly interesting but put it in England and its a much more appealing fight, though I think Ward still wins.

    I think it wasn't fair that ward got to fight in oakland most of his super 6 fights. Well there was one in carson and another in ac he didn't bring much of a crowd to ei ther event.

    He's no huge draw why shouldn't he go where the money is
