    Original (and straight from the UK no doubt).

    The trajectory is downward. The rate of the fall is variable. A less athletic, less powerful, less dynamic, and less energetic 46 year old Hopkins is not an improvement over his 32 year old self.

    You're free to think otherwise if it helps your vicarious self-esteem and/or national pride.

    Liam my UK friend, learn to read, there is an important word in conraddobler piece above: rarely. That's not saying its impossible but very rare in the sport of boxing like, for example, once every 100 years you'll find an effective 40+ year old.

    Wow all these yanks are saying Ward is going to do what no fighter yet has done and stop Froch, ofcourse he will as he is known for stopping fighters (insert sarcasm here).

    I look forward to seeing Ward's jaw get severely tested. :bbb

    Agree with that.

    One thing is for sure froch Brings the HEAT to the ring and his pure heart, toughness and chin/power punches will keep him in the fight. Froch will leave it all in the ring when he fights Ward because thats the kind of warrior he is.

    One thing froch elluded to was that Ward has never gone into a REAL dog-fight situation where he has to dig deep from a big puncher who walks through his punches and keeps coming and coming and does not mind taking a powder puff jab to get to him.

    I personally think froch will be in the fight and when he tags Ward lets see how he deals with it as he has never been in a crisis. This fight is all depending on how Ward fights and deals with the pressure on the night. If he can deal with the pressure and his chin stands firm he can win a UD/SD. If he wobbles and runs away all night froch can steal a SD becuase froch will keep coming right to the bell in R12.

    I guess he could outbox him but I don't think there are many people in the entire world that could stop Froch, he is one tough *******!

    Once every 100 years?

    Hopkins and Johnson are around now. I wouldnt call either ineffective. How old was Thompson when he stopped Haye? Foreman? **** me i must be 400 years old.

    Granted its not all that common but its not rocking horse **** either.

    oh I know what could stop Froch and that is one powerful good placed bodyshot a certain fighter can produce. But not Ward. If he's gonna win this fight he's gotta move fast and counter, don't get into long exchanges, place the meaningful shots, frustrate Froch that kind of thing.

    See for yourself. BTW, I bet your one of those delusional Brit fans who literally placed their house on a Hatton victory (for the Pac man fight).:lol:
