    Both fighters are most likely asking for the same thing...but a couple of years back, Froch would have just gotten on with it in my opinion.

    Froch's just negotiating for the biggest advantage he can get. Nothing more, nothing less and he just speaks in extreme's

    Well, maybe, but he don't even want a neutral ground, he want this to be in his own backyard of he will refuse to go on.

    That's what makes this fight so interesting that both fighters are coming off of their first ever career loss. It will come down to which guy can handle the loss better. And as of right now it appears that Abrahmam is doing a better job than Froch.

    Froch realises that there is some real livewires in the division and too many potential
    loses on his record. It has just burst his bubble

    In the end it wont matter if they fight in Froch's kitchen. AA will knock his ass out.

    Lack of skills is what happened to him. The only reason the guy hasn't been comatosed is because he has a sturdy beard. Credit for that, but having a beard doesn't take skill so it doesn't matter, much like his career from here on..

    Not much. Froch is a warrior and he'll come back with a vengeance. He learned a lot from the Kessler fight and he'll no doubt put it to good use against AA. What he needs to do against AA he has the tools for: 1) Pump his jab 2) Use odd angles to open up AAs tight defense 3) Use his massive reach advantage to stay away from AAs explosions.
    There is no way AA is going to deliver a greater punch load. So roughly speaking Froch just have to stay on his legs in all rounds. It doesn't really matter where this fight takes place if Froch stays with the right game plan.

    I think that he's lost faith in his power for one. I mean, ever since he went up to world class instead of strictly domestic he's obviously had a MUCH harder go of getting a KO. The only "elite" fighter he's scored a KO against was against an exhausted Jermain Taylor. He couldn't KO Dirrell, Pascal, or Kessler and he couldn't even score a KD against any of them. Combined that with Germany's history with decisions...he feels a very limited chance of getting a win.

    iv got to agree with everything you have said, he only just manged to hang on to his belt for 2 fights before it was taken off him fairly. i wanted to like froch with him being a brit, but he did nothing but ***** and moan about joe c who would of boxed him silly. i wont be missing froch if he goes at all...:thumbsup
