I don't know if he was joking, serious , sleep deprived or on something. Whatever the case may be, if he keeps talking like this, you can forget about him because nobody will take him seriously.Quote:

Froch studies ward to prepare for fights, this came out of froch's mouth. Froch is too stiff to beat ward.....ever! Ward dominated him, Im sure he can dominate him again and again and againQuote:

And Ward will go down as DUCKING a guy who he whipped a year and a half ago?
Crazy british fans like you are the reason why I usually root against the British fighters.
If Froch wants to go down as UK's greatest, if he SERIOUSLY wants to compete with a guy like Calzaghe in terms of legacy, he needs to avenge his loss to Ward.
Ward never said anything about £50 million but mentioning Wembley Stadium is laughable. He might as well as said - fuck all you Britishers I ain't ever coming back
Great article by Danny Flexen from BN
Carl Froch-Andre Ward at Wembley Stadium: yeah right! | Latest | Boxing News
That is an excellent article I think the fight will not immediately happen but will further down the line in the USA.
I couldn't agree more, the strange thing is that Ward would whoop his Ass again though!Quote:

Would have been more beneficial because Calzaghe beat the best of Kessler and Calzaghe doesnt used holding as a tactic.Quote:

The Sun are trying to make it sound like this fight would draw that money in PPV & merchandise sales as well as gate attendance and their fees for the fight. Just Sun bullshit to make their article sell. The paper knows jack shit about boxing. That is why Frank Warren is their boxing columnist.Quote:

I thought he was great v froch and pretty entertaining, especially the way he just beat froch in every style possible that night, hats off to old ward he's a classy a boxer and I find him good to watch.. Sounds like froch is just clutching at straws with all this he's boring comments :S load of tosh if you ask me ! Ward is a very good boxer and I have never found him boring at all, certainly the best at 168, although now he is lacking the belts and he has been inactive so he will probably have to go to england to become the undisputed 168 king again !

Has there ever been big boxing matches at Wembley or do they stay away? I remember a WWF event did well there back in the 90s
