Bute " Froch Can Beat Ward Now "

He should just take cue from Khan and get a new trainer say he's better would of never lost as his new self and avoid Ward then retire... Seriously if he is to beat Ward he has to boss him and be aggressive and take shots to give shots. He has done it in the past but that Froch like against Pascal and Taylor he showed his pure will can be unreal but then look at Ward and first Groves fight and he is timid like a cat pawing at a ball. Not to mention he's a damn basket case who needs a counselor to make him feel confident. Yea probably in Wards favor. I really don't even want Ward to take the fight and I know he has to go back out and re prove himself but doing this at LHW after beating GGG would be epic even though people will say GGG never fought anybody afterwards like Frochs win over Bute.

 

Froch's last 5 performances have undoubtedly instilled a level of confidence that we've never seen from him(and he has never been short on confidence), but I still don't see what would be so different. Ward has successfully come back from long layoffs before and I don't believe that would be a factor.

 

It must also be noted that Froch's on the downslide of his career. He's a good fighter, but he's won't fights on toughness and his opponent's fragility recently.

He still can't move very well on his feet and he can't fight well on the inside. You can't train footwork and it's too late for him to learn inside fighting. Ward's footspeed and ability to get inside/outside quickly is what troubles Froch the most.

 

Froch was better 3 years ago than he is now. While the same may be true for Ward, the difference between them when they did fight was so vast that it's tough to see a scenario where Froch can be viewed as being a favorite of any kind...

 

Froch has improved due to experience, so he has more knowledge than he had before but he isn't any faster, he doesn't have an inside game really and overall he is a better boxer but his boxing style hasn't changed. Its a Ward win.

 

i'm having déjà vu!

froch probably had the best 2 performances of his career post s6 v bute and groves 2, while ward has had major surgery and only 1 fight in years, but i still lean towards the latter.

it'll never happen, though, because of the odd career decisions ward has made.

 

Ward has been out of competitive ring action for well over a year. He hasn't fought a meanginful opponent in over two years.

I think a number fighters could beat him now. He needs a tune up or two.

 

Froch at this stage would still have no chance at Ward. The athletic guys,

Dirrell brothers, Degale, only guys at SMW that would have a shot at it and they'd all still be up against it.

 

Ward didn't look too great in his last fight well over a year ago. A guy doesn't spend this much time out of ring and not lose something, even Ray Leonard was never the same in his comebacks.

 

I think bute is wrong but the last time ward was in the ring I stabilisers on my bike so who knows
