    Dawson per any metric known to mankind is the better fighter than Bute...not sure how you could begin to construct an argument otherwise.

    And Froch had to deal with the hordes of ravenous Andre Ward fans who were singing songs in unison and spitting at Carl from ringside seats.

    Is Atlantic City in America? Yes.

    Is Ward American? Yes.

    Ergo it was a home fight.

    Then he must have regretted not getting to Bute first. Because it put Froch back in the mix and now he's done Kessler and picked up another strap and some bargaining power. See it hasn't worked out well for Ward has it? Picking the right fights at the right time is part of boxing. You can make or break a career by making the wrong choice. Just ask Amir Khan when he took on Garcia!

    So you can see why he was mad tonight in that interview. He took the wrong route, and he knows it!

    What the **** does that have to do with what happened in the ring? Please explain how fighting 3000 miles from home is different than fighting 3000 miles from home? Furthermore please explain how this is going to change **** in the ring?

    Of course Ward doesn't HAVE to go to the UK for a Froch rematch. If he wants to live off the Super Six victory for the rest of his career, and fight bums in Oakland in front of 1500 fans every time, that's up to him. But if he wants to take his legacy to the next level, he must step outside his comfort zone. At this point, Ward needs Froch more than Froch needs Ward.

    Idiot calling this Beast mode :rofl:rofl:rofl That was spin control mode.

    You fight where the money is at. You can be the greatest technical boxer of all time but if people don't find you interesting they won't pay for it. Ward has to realize he is not the draw. He can't sell a fight. Ward is better then Froch and I think he beats him but this refusal to fight anyone if it isn't in your backyard is stupid. If he also thinks he should get more then Froch or even 50/50 he's stupid.

    Hes mad because theres people who think he "has" to come to the UK to fight Froch.

    When have you ever seen a fighter who in the recent pass has easily beaten a fighter be told that he then "has" to go to the vanquished opponents home town to fight?

    Also the fact that despite all the media talk Froch has never shown any official interest in fighting him. That seemed to tick Ward off too.

    People are almost accusing Ward of ducking yet Frochs promoter has never picked up the phone and actually looked for a rematch.

    Id be pissed too.

    When was the last time Ward fought a "bum".

    He can fight Dirrell, Chavez,GGG, Hopkins, Dawson at 175 all in America.

    Are they bums too?

    Lol...Im done the truth is the truth, and the truth is Ward is the man at 168 and has already beat Carl and Carl's best win/other loss, nothing will change that except Carl beating Ward.

    He has the opportunity to travel, make fights, and build up his profile globally. He'd get those fights because the Europeans want good fights to happen. Don't you get sick of hearing about risk/reward from all these big name, shut-in US "warriors"? Nobody gives a **** about boxing any more because of it, so now you have a champion who is

    But does he go for it? No, he hides behind the skirts of his promoters and the cable stations and tweets. Or he does the TV equivalent of a photobomb, trying to get his big old Hagler/Hopkins head on the same screen as actual warriors, dragging down entertaining fights by inflicting his "personality" on the viewers under the guise of a commentator.

    did you watch the fight between the two? Anything to suggest the American air molecules were hindering Froch's plodding movements?
