    I love Froch and was at the Glen Johnson fight rooting for him by I have to root for my boy Ward on this one but if it were any other opponent I would root for Froch!

    I am American. I think they are both ****s as people. Froch is a warrior however, and Ward can fight like a total *****, but he has shown mettle here and their. I think it would be good for the sport though if Ward koed Froch.

    Ward is gonna tax dat ass, so... no point in rooting for Froch, since I like them both about equally.

    Im not the biggest fan of Ward as he tends to fight quite dirty. However, there is no denying that he has good technical skills. Although i like Froch, i think he will struggle against the speed and skill of Ward....

    There's nothing "sweet" about a John Ruiz style...

    I never liked Ward's style. Even against Miranda he was going safety all the way, clinching every 10 seconds during the last 6 rounds. He's got a lot of talent, but he's boring as hell and doesn't seem to carry much power at all. Then there's the three time hometown fights in a row. The fact that he often fouls and knows he can get away with it.

    Really, I don't see anything to root for. I do appreciate a skillful boxer, but I really can't be bothered about Ward. Even whiny Dirrell is more exciting to me. At least he carries a punch and is willing to put his weight behind it.

    I honestly don't see Froch beating Ward - though I'll be rooting for the Brit.

    I hope Bute beats Ward in a battle of who gets the best hometown decision.

    The sport benefits if Froch wins. He's the more entertaining fighter and a true warrior. If he does win, you know he'll fight Bute and Kessler, and then whoever else has established themselves so maybe Pavlik or someone like that. He'll always fight the best and put on a great showing. I don't think Ward will fight the best and I don't think he'll be that entertaining either. For the good of the sport, Froch would be the choice to win.

    I like him, but he's very overrated.

    B-Hop would humiliate him. Even at 46

    It's only boring if you don't understand what you're watching. To make it more simple for your limited brain, it's only boring if you're an idiot.

    Ward is like the Tim Duncan of Boxing. Great fundamentals but extremely boring to watch.

    Froch's a real tough guy, but like a lot of warriors, I just don't buy he has the class to go in the ring and live with a really classy fighter.

    I just don't see him going in with a lot of these American fighters, and winning.

    I think Ward beats him easily. As does Hopkins. As does Chad Dawson
