    Yep he puts it on the line, unlike a certain calculating ***** from Michigan.

    he took some hard shots tonight but his chin is great, it was a good fight and he won but he needs to up his game when facing ward.

    If he just had Kessler on it too. But yeah, can't argue with Froch's resume. And if he manages and I know it's an if as he will go in as an underdog but if he beats Ward how good will Froch's resume be???? one of the best all time at super middle surely?

    I had Froch winning a close but clear decision against Kessler , and I had him losing to Dirrell. I haven't watched the Dirrell v Froch since I watched it live though.... I really couldn't stand watching that fight again.

    No doubt, i'm in. Sometimes his fights look sloppy but he's proven he knows what he's doing. Ward/Froch is going to be one interesting fight.

    It's funny how some fighters like froch in boxing or formerly Liddell in mma can throw punches are that are just so wrong and yet for them it's so right lol.

    No need to sell me on him. I was a FROCH fan before the Taylor fight. I picked him to win by KO and won money off of him.

    Like calzaghe before him, I was a big fan while all my fellow Americans on this board fell for the American hype jobs and tried to discredit Joe.

    FROCH is the real deal and he will defeat ward and that is when the American hate will really show itself. You wait and see.

    Froch has a good resume but people are hyping it a little bit too much. If anyone else beat a 42 year old Johnson who had come down in weight and lost three of his last 5 would it really be considered a great win against elite opposition? Doubt it very much

    he's the toughest around today. i love how he continues to win when the Americans keep saying he's no good. if he beats ward that would be one hell of a satisfying victory against arrogance and bigotry from across the pond

    Yea I've been impressed by Froch.

    He's one of the best and yes he does have a better resume than Calzaghe. But Calzaghe was content on fighting bums for the majority of his career.

    It is going to be sweet so sweet to see my American brothers lost for words. They are so full of **** and hypocritical.

    Now remember these are the same American ***gots that ridiculed Joe for always fighting at home but now defend son of Sven. ****ing Classic!

    The FROCH victory is going to make my year. And watch how even after victory they wii still try and say FROCH isn't very good and ward wins in a rematch, and Kessler is really the man, or bute is the best not FROCH, or some other nonsense.

    Wait and see.
