I dont really get your point. Frochs last 2 fights were PPVs and were bot successful. I dont rate Froch at all and think hes so average and a cunt so no biased from me but who is he ducking? Degale? Maybe but more likely is he wants a big fight in Vegas, which is why he targeted Chavez.
Froch is old now and close to retirement. He has won a world title and fought the best in the division. Its a perfectly acceptable notion that as a boy he dreamed to fight in a big fight in Vegas. Ward may be able to deliver that but hes certainly not a PPV star. Degale couldnt do that either. GGG possibly could but looks determined to stay in MW. Outside that who is there? Maybe one of the Dirrells?
Gotta disagree. Why is Chavez a bigger fight than Degale for a World Title. Who has Chavez beat at SMW? Is Chavez a bigger fight than Golovkin? Is Chavez a bigger fight than unification fights like Abraham and Dirrell? I'm sure the governing bodies would've waived the mandatories if Froch had kept his title and wanted to unify. Is Chavez a bigger fight than Hopkins or Kovalev?
In reality Froch is looking for what he thinks is an easy opponent for good money , not the best though(other fights could earn him more.).
People say "he deserves it", but if you put yourself up there as the best (and he regularly says that), then you should fight the best. Why should people shell out for a meaningless fight like Chavez?
Only one that can give ward any issues is a prime calzaghe and that will never happen.
Ward is in the gym every single day and is constantly keeping himself fit with sparring etc...
Ward is still the man to beat and just imagine if froch could do it in his hometown as his last fight..epic!
Ward has already beat froch 10-2 with a broken hand...froch knows how good ward is thats why he wants a big payday with Chavez and I cant blame him.
My point is either fight a meaningful fight or retire. As you can see, I'm not a fan of Froch, but I have to say that as it stands at this moment, he is no.1 in the division. I'm not prepared to think about Ward till he has a date for a fight and a named opponent.
With that being the case, why should he beg a guy to fight him who in the ring has done fuck all in the division? Because of his "dream to top the bill in Vegas!" It's a fucking circus act and a pisstake really.
And let's be honest, the reason his last 2 fights were PPV (in a land where Bellew v Cleverley is deemed worthy of PPV let's not forget.) is down to Groves whether we like him or not. Groves hyped it up and because in the 1st fight he did everything he said he'd do , the 2nd became irresistible.
Ward schooled Froch.
Have you even seen the fight?

I'm not Bumming Ward, I don't really want to consider him till he fights again because he's too inactive. But in the Froch fight, all I can remember is Froch blocking punches all night long with his face and not having an answer to it, and then when he thought he would be stronger on the inside, Ward outstrengthed him as well. Just how Virgil Hunter said he would before the fight.
It's not cos I think Ward is some superhero, more the fact that Froch is overrated as a boxer really.
Froch does have some good points in his defence , Granite chin, perfect fitness and conditioning for that weight ,but technically he's pretty poor.
Finally , I do understand people saying Froch has a better chance because of Ward's inactivity, but let's not forget that Froch hasn't fought for a year and at 37 that can't be a positive.
Froch cant be that poor techincally, hes beaten everyone he has fought appart from ward, all the top fighters in a strong division for the last so many years
you dont do that if youre poor technically
ward beat froch, but he didnt school him, he threw punches on the way in and then grappled so froch couldnt hit him back, its the way ward fights
yes hes very good at it and will be very hard to beat

Froch admission himself he can't beat Ward and it was only last month he said he didn't want to fight him again because he simply can't win.
Like I said it's an ugly fight and Froch was totally clueless last time and imo schooled.
He hardly landed anything all night and was technically exposed.
1. it's not a strong division is it? when it was a strong division (super six) he got beat by Ward , he got beat by Kessler, arguably got outboxed by Dirrell and was losing on the scorecards against a blown up MW (Taylor)with 14 seconds to go . He was only in the final because Kessler was injured ffs.
he beat a raw Pascal , and another blown up MW at the time (Abraham) .btw , technically that was his best performance of the whole series I'll give him that.
he also got outboxed by Groves (who wasn't and isn't proven at World level) . the reason he beat these guys is not technical ability , it is his Heart, Conditioning and Chin.
I've always given him those attributes , but technically , he has a decent jab which he used very well in his last fight and that's it.
Watch again, because Ward Boxed Froch's face off. Every time he came forward , Ward plugged him straight on the nose, it was embarrassing. His face was like a beetroot after 2 rounds.
