Froch: If I’m looking for a tough fight it wouldn’t be against Lucian Bute because...

he has a point,it would be an easy fight...but for bute not for him.he wants a tough fight where he has a chance and that's not with bute,maybe a 46 years old gradpa would do the trick.if johnson is old,like he said,then how would he describe hopkins,ancient?

 

I think froch has justified the hype with his last 6 fights

 

You may not be specifically referring to me, but, I never said I disliked him because he isn’t good. I said I just don’t rate his skill-set. That’s all. I mean, Glen Johnson and Michael Katsidis are willing to fight anyone and lay it all on the line, too. But does that mean I have to rate them highly as boxers? Of course not. Admiring their attitude isn’t the be-all and end-all of judging a fighter.

 

How the **** is he ducking Bute when he has been contractually tied to the Super Six for over two years?

Log-off Noob.

 

wowzers

 

I'm talking about after the super six.

 

the fragile glass jaw of ward is going to be destroyed

 

The above is very true accounting for personal preferences and all that and the fact that boxing isn't just about skill set.. Froch is a proven warrior which is something the likes of ward has yet to achieve.

Do you still stand by your word that he is a hypejob?

 

Froch may well be more of a "warrior" than Ward, but that doesn't make him a better fighter. And Just to make it clear, I'm not saying he's a "hypejob". He's been in and won too many solid fights for someone to call him that. I just think he gets a tad bit overrated. That's all. And I can't wait for Ward - who's young himself and will eventually go on to justify his hype - prove this when they meet in December.

 

I'm pretty sure Froch will want the biggest possible payday after the super 6. $$ will decide who he'll face. In order to face Hopkins, he would need to fight on HBO. Is it possible? I'm not sure. A Kessler rematch could generate good money in Europe but would Showtime go for that one when they spent 6 millions on 3 Bute fights?

So it may be Europe money vs North Ameraica money. Who will win?

That scenario counts only if Froch wins and it's not a done deal. In fact, I expect him to lose. He was impressive against Abraham but not against Johnson. Ward has noticed that, believe me. Froch doesn't react very well when he's pressured.

If Ward wins the super 6, he'll target Hopkins or Bute. These are his 2 best financial options. Kessler is also a possibility.

So we just don't know!

 

If either of these guys is hype its Ward

 

Wonder what that means?
In a way a "easy" opponent like Bute that brings money and a belt would mean a must for a fighter. But now Froch add that he dont want to take easy fights... So does it means he doesnt want to fight Bute?

I like Froch, but his interviews are so full of **** that we just dont know what he means.

Ditto Andre Dirrell

 

'Skill sets' is only ONE aspect of world level pro boxing. If a fighter is glaringly deficient in a different important area, he will not have great success no matter if his 'skill set' is the best in the world.

The two boxers with the best skill sets in the Super Six were Andre Dirrell and Jermain Taylor, and yet neither even made the semi-finals

 

Froch or Ward should be targeting Bhop, if he wins, for their next fight. Bute can go prove his class by fighting Kessler first.
