    This has got to be a ****ing joke. I swear I've never seen a bitter ex fighter like Carl Froch.

    Froch never wanted a rematch from Ward. He said it himself he didn't fancy his chances against Ward.

    Yeah even the online consensus of him being some child pimp is wrong. He pimped out his girlfriend who was willing.

    Carl should fly to Oakland and call Ward out on 99th Street in East Oakland for a scrap. Other than that he wants to blow him for being more alpha male and beating him up in front of his wife. She probably ask about Ward everyday since that fight and it bothers Carl.

    Tell the promoters of this fighters to put 5 mil on the table and I promise you I'll bring Ward out of retirement. But if it makes you feel good to think Ward retired for fear of this guys, go ahead and feel that way. No elite fighter wants to go back making peanuts after making the type of money Ward made in the two last fights against Kovalev.

    Honestly I'm not trying to discredit him if that's the way it's coming across and he is elite.

    I look at it like this, I thought Ward lost the 1st fight to Kovalev but he came away knowing that he had to make it a physical fight in their rematch, which he did and that to me is what a fighter has to do every now and then to get the W.

    But, Ward being as skilled as people make out may need to fight like this at elite level to take fighters out of their respective game plan but with Ward there was numerous fights in which against way inferior opponents he engaged in a mauling coma inducing debacle which again it's only my opinion but he didn't need to.

    I agree with the Hopkins comparison, I just feel a bit short changed in Ward not wanting to compete against the top fighters at 175 who I think are much better and dangerous than Kessler, Froch, Green and Bika.

    He lost the first fight and got the decision, and the win the second time down to illegal tactics, that's why he gets no credit mate !

    Didn't he beat up prozzys if they didn't fight each other ? Don't get me wrong Snatch, I only rate his in the ring skills, outside the ring, if he got a belt of a car I wouldn't lose sleep mate !

    Whatever.

    He still beat THE man. Infact, he made him quit the second time around.

    Remember how much of a protest Kovalev put up when the ref stopped it? No, me neither.

    Ward has Kovalev's number.

    Why is that fair? Froch could do big business in Nottingham and Ward had had defences in Oakland

    There is no doubt Ward tarnished his legacy in the manner he retired.

    There will forever be question marks hanging over his career.

    From the dubious decisions, to avoiding the likes of GGG, Beterbiev and Bivol, to avoiding vada testing like the plague, to the acne on his back and ties with the mob and notorious street gangsters.

    No one can say he had a clean career. It was simply one mired in controversy and cowardice.
