    If froch somehow pulls off a win against ward, will that make people question what would have happened with him and calzaghe? Almost everyone gives froch no chance against calzaghe I just wondered if a ward win would change that?

    I'm fairly objective on this.

    In terms of legacy it's obvious Froch needs to avenge the Ward win, it's the only blot on his copybook and he wants to set that straight, so in a sense Ward is in the box seat.

    Then you take into account that Ward brings nothing to the table fanbase wise and will not draw well outside Oakland and financially Froch is holding the cards.

    I'd like fighters to do the honourable thing, Kessler coming over here was a classy move even though he was handsomely compensated for it. If Ward feels he can beat Froch again, which in all fairness he probably can then it seems odd that he'd refuse a career high purse and the chance to rid himself of the "doesn't travel" moniker he's adopted.

    If Froch was to beat Ward there would be a collective wank like you have never seen, Calzaghe would fade into obscurity, in years to come he'd be referred to as "some welsh bloke".

    Depends on what Froch wants to do.

    If he wants a big $$$$$$ fight, then fight Chavez in Vegas.

    If he wants to gain revenge and look to really cement his legacy, fight Ward.

    I honestly don't think JCCjr will fight in Vegas again. Been busted twice for illegal substances by the Nevada commission, plus the $900k they took off him after the last fight.

    It's Texas or bust for him, and Froch would be mental to consider that.

    Can't see the fight being a sell out in Vegas, Froch needs to get Ward in England but can't see that happening either.

    But no matter where IF it happens I say Ward will win comfortable..

    Haha **** off you melt, the first wasn't even close. Froch could face Ward 100 times and he wouldn't even get a draw.

    Can't see the fight ever happening you can see Matchroom don't want the fight by the way they belittle Ward calling boring, Can't draw & ect....It's like they are trying to justify any reason to not fight Ward.

    I know Ward doesnt bring much to Vegas, I'm not so sure Froch does either...I was in Vegas for Froch v Kessler no-one knew anywhere to watch it...it may have been due to the fact UFC was on later that night in Vegas but it was a struggle to get somewhere to watch it...

    Froch is a warrior. Ward is not a warrior.

    Good fight and good location, But Ward wont do it. He is drumming on about **** saying if your a true champion you fight anywhere; however he will not. in my opinion ward is scared of the english judges not getting the decision over here. I will be very surprised if the fight happens here! netural location this time. *****

    Ward wins wherever they fight. Simply put he's a few levels above Carl and can beat him whichever way Carl wants unfortunately.
