    During the tournament "I want to fight him"
    After the tournament and Glenn Johnson distraction "who is bute?!"

    Fail

    Froch was exposed way back by taylor.
    Then came dirrel.
    And finally ward.

    34 year old slowmo frochovski was just begging to be exposed.

    Look at you idiots trying to discredit froch, he is slow, and yes he is limited but look what he has achieved and he done, I’d much rather watch a froch fight any day of the week than watch a ward fight. Ward is technically good yes but froch gives it his all every time he fights and is never in a boring fight he will come back again.

    Manfred how can you call a two time champ a hype job this isn’t Amir Kahn were talking about. Froch has taken on any challenge win or lose at home or away.
    :patsch

    Let me get this straight we are supose to believe ward would postpone the fight for a small cut that would have healed for original date but would still go ahead with a broken hand......

    if Andre "SonoFagoat" coWard ever fights Kull "TheConqueror" Froch , Mikkel"OneEyedViking" Kessler or SlapMachineGunJoeCalzaghe (or even ShellCrab Arthur Abraham) outside US hes history

    californian Sven Ottke
     
  7. Is it a coincidence that the only time Froch was beaten was when he faced two top level White fighters in Ward and Kessler? I think not. Even though Froch struggled but still beat a few elite black fighters that was more due to them lacking the heart of Kessler or Ward than anything else really.

    Froch was outclassed. He was very game which we expected but Ward beat him in every facet of the game inside, outside, accuracy, defence, ring generalship etc. It is to Fro h's credit that he did not get stopped though Ward injured hands might have played a party ere as well.

    Ward is an African American hence black.

    Are you saying black fighters lack heart or are you being deliberate moron. Race has nothing to do with cojones. Did Ali, Holyfield, the Sugar Rays lack heart?

    Froch has one of the best mentalities in boxing, if every boxer was like him the sport would be 10 times as popular as it is now.
    Really great guy regardless of his flaws.

    Froch got lucky against Taylor and in my book lost to Dirrell. Lets not forget the robbery there. fROCH IS A WORTH WARRIOR BUT WE HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE FROM JT but Dirrel was a robbery and everyone knows it. Arthur Abraham was a great win but Kesseler and Dirrel showed what would happen against atheletic and upper level competition. If dirrel can strengthen his legs and sit down on his punches he may give Ward an L.

    Eh?

    i thought he looked good in Abraham, Pascall and Johnson fights

    Kessler was a good showing even though a loss

    it was only really Dirrell and Taylor he looked bad in

    You're right. A terrible lack of skill and ring generalship. As evidenced by his dreadfully close performances against Abraham and Johnson, one of which was outperforming Ward with a common opponent. Why, styles don't make fights at all and that's just a fact. Kessler would've easily defeated Froch, had he not...been ruined by Andre 'hands of stone' first. That's why that fight was so close and full of only highly competitive rounds, not because Froch has any skill whatsoever, of course. :good Hype job.

    He didn't get lucky against JT its not his fault he gassed ...Against Dirrell he lost but at least the man had the balls to fight these guys ! For all the criticsm he is getting not ONE person is showing respect to the man for the road he chose to make himself GREAT !**** the fight with Kessler could have gone either way but everyone knew that he would have never had got the nod in Kessler's hometown ..


    I can respect him because he chose to fight the fights people wanted him to see him in and never hid behind his dam promoter ! When his promoter couldn't get him what he wanted he fired him ..More fighters need to to take note from the Cobra ..What he lacks in the skill dept he makes up for it in every other aspect when it concerns boxing ..
