    I just hope he doesn't make a complete tit outta himself by saying the kinda crap Haye did pre fight and then get outclassed by Ward. I don't know what Froch is angling at by saying stuff like he will walk through Ward's punches. Nonsense. Ward is world class and im sure he realises that and he ain't gonna get inside his head. Think we can all agree that if Froch does lose he won't go down as tamely as Haye did. Khan-Judah does nothing for me. Wouldn't be a huge win for Khan, Judah is kinda shop worn.

    Froch has no reason to do that sorta stuff towards Ward. He's a honest professional and speaks his mind but he's oldschool and doesn't need to take it to Haye's levels.

    He knows Ward is world class and knows he's gonna have to make it a dogfight and fight at highest level possible to win cos Ward's that good.

    One things for sure he won't be backing up and not throwing, if anything he will be chasing and falling over himself to land his hard power punches on Ward. Froch will go out on shield.

    Froch can sit in his corner and read the papers for 12 rounds if he wanted and I'd still give him credit overall, he's proved his worth and he just deserves to be on Sky more than any of them. Froch doesn't have all this hype and talk to live up to like Khan or Haye. Best of luck to him though.

    Haye is a pretty boy athlete, Froch is a warrior

    He will come to fight, he is not afraid of losing, and he has the pride of a real world champion

    He unlike Haye, is actually somthing to be proud of

    I agree. Froch has nothing to prove and has had a brilliant career. But like Haye-Wlad, this in my opinion anyway is Froch's career defining fight. I hope Sky give this fight the big hype because if Carl Froch beats Andre Ward the importance of it must not be lost on people. It would be huge, because Ward is that good.

    I can see this fight being proper filth.

    Ward is as dirty as they come, & Froch doesn't mind getting stuck in either..

    Ward will fight on the back foot mainly IMO... Froch has gotta cut the ring off and pin him in... I'm looking forward to it but I'm not sure it will be a classic.. It all depends on Ward really.

    Froch could get knocked out in the first minute and he would still go down as a legend in most boxing fans eyes. I hope he beats Ward and even if he doesnt I hope he gets a big homecoming fight at the City Ground cos it is what he deserves. A true warrior of the sport.

    If Froch does lose to Ward he will go down fighting to the last second there is no doubt about that.

    He knows how good ward is, he is obviously going to say a few things about his power etc but he knows this is the toughest fight of his life. Should be a *******.

    Shame its not going to be in Vegas or NY though.

    Froch has already had his career defining fights in my eyes. This is his big one, but he's already cemented his place and his name.

    By career defining I mean obstacle fights. Fights that prove he's elite/world class.

    SOB Ward will have to have the fight in his home town, with his personal referee and judges, Ward is a cheat. Why do all the other fighters have to travel so far, Froch will have to travel thousands of miles, while Ward will be having fun. Ward refused to fight in the tournament unless he got all his fights in his home turf. Why did Ward get everything to his advantage? Froch will be cheated..............

    The Son Of Showtime will try every dirty trick or spoiling tactic in this fight too keep Froch away from him. Froch is more of a man then Andre and is prepared to go into deeper water imo. If Ward is as good as people say he should be able to negate Froch and win by a few rounds, he has the skills. I'm going with my heart and saying Froch 11th round TKO.

    Agreed.

    Even though he can be a bit of an arse sometimes, I actually really like Froch. Honest fighter, with a great chin and stamina and a decent dig. Always gives it his all in there too.

    Do you copy and paste this stuff?

    Its always pretty consistant.


    Can't wait for the Froch fight. Not fussed over the Khan fight - i'm sick to death of him and the circus that surrounds him. Froch Ward should be a dirty, rugged, scrappy classic.
