    Default Can froch ever beat Ward?

    I hate froch style but I really like him as a person and as a hard fighter.

    Ignore all the noise about Ward not filling seats etc and look into the mindset of carl froch.

    I truly believe carl has ducked no one and was calling out JC many moons ago like groves was doing to froch.

    Froch has a toughness about him in a steve collins type way (but better!)

    He has had such a great career and deserves every ounch of respect but I know as a warrior he would want another shot at ward.

    Is he now thinking its easier to finish his career with high paydays against kessler and chavez or possibly ggg before he retires OR does he really think he can do a number on the inactive number 2 in the world (froch gets better in any rematch!)

    Help me with this..

    Froch has absolutely no chance of beating Ward. End of story.
    That's why he wants to fight Chavez in Vegas, and if that falls through, it'll be Froch vs Kessler 3. I don't begrudge him that end to his career, but let's not kid ourselves into thinking he has a chance against Ward .

    Stop acting like Ward is Hagler or some shit.

    Of Course Froch has a chance to beat Ward.

    As Primo Carnera has already said obviously he has a chance but in reality it is very slim.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Honestly if he can not beat Ward or move up and be the man at 175 i not sure why Froch be in the hall of fame. He not very popular fighter world wide for most of his career and he was never the man in his division he was behind Ward and Kessler for a while. Froch wasted a very good portion of his career and really did not fight anyone worth a note or even ranked in long time of fighting. I mean that changed he beat Taylor but i mean what was he at smw nothing same with Abrham was not really success a smw. He beat Bute, Pascal, and Kessler he is tied with i think his career is good but not really great.

    People say no because they're stupid. Andre award is a better fighter than Froch and if both are performing Ward wins. But it's a fight anything can happen in a fight! Of course there is a 10% chance Froch lands a big shot, or Ward has an off night, slips or gets injured. Ward is the better fighter but anything can happen! Chorales beat Castillo after getting outboxed! Castillo proved to be the better fighter in the rematch despite being over weight.

    Ok. Nitpick if you like . Of Course we're stupid because as you point out "nothing is impossible" I'll tell you what's stupid, trying to justify a fight when someone has a "10% chance of landing a big shot". You know what we mean .

    10% is being generous. i would say that its probably south of 5% that he will land a shot and KO ward.

    i would be very surprised if froch beat ward.

    I suppose you would have to give him a punchers chance, that shot he landed on Groves would have put anyone down. However that's also the problem as I don't see him being able to land a shot like that on Ward, he is too quick and too clever. I reckon it would just be a similar fight and similar outcome to their first match

    If Ward were to dislocate a shoulder or sprain a knee than the fight would be stop in Froch favor. So yeah Froch has a chance

    Yes of course he can. It is pretty unlikely but not impossible, people have off nights, the most unexpected knockouts happen. Has Ward even sorted out his promotion/management problems yet?
