Jean Pascal moved up. Lucien Bute moved up Andre Ward is going to move up Will Carl Froch move up after his fight with Grove? If he and Ward do, will that make the LHW divison the most competitive and exciting in the sport?
No and he's better off staying in his already packed division and only make a move up when his body can no longer make 168.
He should be finding it difficult to stay at SMW right about now. Why should he stay at SMW where he has fought almost everyone worth fighting in the division and the big money fights for him will be at LHW? Froch Vs Stevenson Froch Vs Kovalev Froch Vs Pascal II If his timing is good he could even pick up a belt.
If he's finding it difficult I'm sure it would be publicly known by now. His division still offers decent opposition to consider and some big names as well. Golovkin is moving up, Chavez Jr., Ward II, Abraham II, Sieglitz and others.
Froch's final fight will be on May 31st, he is going to be on the end of a brutal beating and will concede his career is over.
How is Ward II going to happen if Ward moves up like he says he will? Big names? GGG. Who has he fought ? All the big names will be at moved from SMW to LHW :yep For Froch to rematch Ward he'd have to move up. For Froch-Bute II, he'd also have to move up.
he fights at pretty much his natural weight, so he'd have to bulk up, affecting his stamina (arguably his strongest asset), while taking shots from significantly bigger men, potentially affecting his ability to take and recover from punches (also arguably his strongest asset), so no.
Ward never struggled to make weight. Says he can make SMW easily, but wants the better fights at LHW. Bute didn't have trouble making weight. He moved up to get away from the talent in the SMW division. Funny how now all that SMW talent is joining Bute at LHW. :yep Froch won't be happy to see all the good fights for unification at LHW between Ward, Hopkins, Pascal, Stevenson, Kovalev, Dawson, Bute, without him. He's going to move up. :yep
Ward wanted to move to LHW couple years ago but his trainer said no . Doesn't sound like he would make smw easily now
Bute got sparked and probably blamed it on weight and wanted to pursue domestic fight with pascal, same way it's smart for froch to fight big domestic fights at smw vs groves/gaele but it's double standards .....Stevenson can fight for money but froch cant lol...
That's no double standard. Bute got KTFO and Stevenson didn't. Bute moved up because of that and because SMW gave him nightmares. :yep All the best fights for Froch will be at LHW.
