    its not spoiling the debate if its giving context to it - which is what i'm doing.

    if king kong and godzilla want to fight i can promise you the fight wont be over until one of them is face down in the dirt

    If the fight was for 15 rounds, the gloves were 4oz's, the ring was half it's size, the judges were Froch's inner circle of friends and Froch had a good day then Ward wouldn't have lasted.

    Does a completely hypothetical situation need to have somebody giving context, Surely the context is set by the hypothetical and therefore somebody trying to change the context is actually spoiling the debate.

    Ie
    me :super man vs King Kong.

    You: well actually it wouldn't happen because people can't fly, and there's no such thing as a giant Gorilla.

    Me: stop giving context to the debate, you debate spoiler.

    Froch Ward could have ended like many of the great 15 rounds fights. Ward was tired since round 9 and it was obvious.

    Ward was cruising last 2 rounds, and fight could have been 100 rounds and Ward would still win, he is just 10 classes above Froch, and clearly better in every aspect of boxing!

    David Haye would kill to have this injury after Wlad:D just to have stronger excuse.

    Ward trained to go 12 rounds, not 15. Excuses, excuses.

    Ever heard of power and chin ?

    It's a fact Ward is burning an unusual amount of energy in the first stages of the fight.

    The fighters he has faced were older by at least 4 years thus couldn't keep up his pace; what happens when he faces someone younger with as much athletic ability as him ?

    From the guys that Ward has fought Bika had the best stamina. Ward prevailed.

    I thought Dirrel could have given him a lot of problems, but we all know what ensued.

    Bute's body punching and technical skills will give him all he can handle.

    yeah, because Bute showed how he's cut out for 15 rounds when he fought Andrade, right? Show when Ward has been that ****ed after 12 rounds.

    I don't even know what your point is. You're trying to discredit a guy for being tired at the end of a 12 round fight, despite winning almost every single round and fighting half the fight with a ****ed up hand?

    You write like someone who has only watched one fight.
    Ward has no stamina issues,he bullies his opponents throughout except last weekend because of the hand injury.The guy fought with one hand from the 6th round and decided to be more defensive in the later rounds so he would not show his opponent he was injured
