    He mentioned GGG, Chavez, DeGale and Bike (who handed Froch his WBC belt while he was talking)

    But no Ward and you know why...because Ward is now irrelevant. Froch said he is the money man now in the 168 lb division and right now look at Ward career...it complete garbage right now.


    Ward would probably beat Froch 10 out of 10 times but I as kmyself based on how their careers are going who would I rather be?


    A fighter with 2 belts selling out a 80,000 seat stadium

    or


    A fighter who has only had 2 fights since 2011 with no belts



    Hmmmm decision, decision

    Froch doesn't need Ward, it's the other way around

    he has Bika ( WBC belt), Chavez Jr (HUGE fight in the US) DeGale (big domestic fight) GGG (another big fight in the US, but less money than Jr)

    Ward was dumb enough to sign a 10 year deal with Goosen.

    GGG very popular and well known in UK from what I hear, and would be a huge draw there. Moreso than Jr. GGG has said he is willing to fight in the UK.

    All depends on whether Froch fights at home or not - he has said he would really like to fight in Vegas before he retires, and Jr would be the most money there.

    How is that fact...I just look at Groves history and there is no record of him ever selling 80,000...nope not at all.

    Methinks you are letting you mancrush get in the way of real FACTS....

    Why isn't goosenmaking fights for him? I'm honestly baffled as to why he's fought twice since 11

    His wanting his opponents to fight in Cali for 1m in front of 11k instead of at home for 8 figures in front of 10's of thousands might have something to do with it I think.

    I didn't hear Froch mention any names ? all he said was would like to fight in vegas, OP obviously has an anti froch pro ward agenda.

    Ward has been silent since Hearns comment earlier this week.

    I would like to see GGG or Chavez Jr go to London and fight Froch in Wembley. Would be an awesome atmosphere/event and that is where the most money can be made. Doubt it happens though.

    Regardless if Froch is the bigger money guy, Ward is exponentially the better fighter.

    A rematch would probably end in a more 1 sided fight. It's probably in Froch's best interest to avoid a fight with Andre if he'd like to continue winning.

    I'd love to see Froch take on GGG or Chavez Jr next. Both fights would be FOY candidates. I'd favor Carl against Julio and probably give the slight edge to GGG against Carl just because he has better overall boxing ability although he'd have to move up in weight to meet Carl.
