That he was a hype job. This is what happens every time an undefeated fighter takes a loss or so it seems.
True. Johnson winning would/should but him in the hall of fame. Froch winning should not be a big surprise. He gets better with every fight and he is really talented with good physical attributes.
If ward wins i will say he is the best at 168 currently and his only challenger left is bute. Will people say the same for Johnson and Froch i wonder?
If Ward wins then he's the undisputed champ of the division. Bute would just be a challenger and not an opponent that Ward would have to overcome as if he's standing in his way. The same with Froch though. I don't like Ward, I want Froch to kick his arse
I think ward is easily the best in the super m division. He has a nasty streak as well. I think he handles froch no problems and I am a froch fan
They will just move on to the next great american hope. The same people that are hugging his nuts now were hugging Dawson's nuts a few months back and they will be hugging someone else a few months after that.
If Froch does it i would be a bit surprised but not overly, however if Ward beats the other then there will be alot of swaggering and nationalistic nut swaying from Americans on this forum
Yes, and there is no chance that would happen from the Brits on this forum if Froch won. If Froch/Johnson won, as par for the course on this site Ward would be called a hype job as has already been stated. It also wouldn't overly surprise me if Froch won and I would encourage a little tapping of the brakes from those who are referring to Ward as ATG material as we still really don't know a whole lot about him.
I dont like how wards gets a easy route with all fights being in his own country. gives me a feeling they want a American as a champ to build up as the next best thing in boxing. Ward is obviously a great boxer, but I prefer Froch, his route have been more difficult, taking on tougher guys abroad. Thats the warrior mentality boxing really needs to become big again. I want him to beat johnson and defeat ward. then the sky is the limit.
Styles make fights. And yes he was/is over-rated. He's very good but some people are going too far IMO.
