What happened to Froch?

[Ron Swanson]

At first I didn't like this guy because of his mouth. But then he kept fighting top guy after top guy and I started to root for him.

But now, here he has his opportunity to rematch Ward, which he should have wanted all these years, and Ward is willing to come to London but that isn't enough? That looks weak. The whole Nottingham or no fight way of getting out of the fight isn't the way a warrior should finish up his career.

[Tam Seddon]

As a Froch fan I agree with this. London, Nottingham ..,whenever in England is a massive advantage he should take the fight if it's in London.

He doesnt want that fight.

I tend to disagree. I really don't see the point in this rematch and I don't understand the desire for it. Ward won hands-down last time around. What will change in the rematch? Ward should move up and face the beasts at 175.

This board has decided Froch is the top guy and Ward must prove he still belongs. So both guys have an opportunity at "get back". Ward to get back to his place on top. And Froch has a chance to get a victory over his conqueror. He won't win but he should want the opportunity.

Froch wants Junior in Vegas.

Ward doesn't need to prove anything. If you honestly think that Ward doesn't belong with the best at 168 or 175, we might as well be watching a different fighter. He beat the best competition at 168 over two years ago and the division is made up of the same combatants now. He has nothing left to prove at 168. He's universally ranked as no. 2 pound for pound. He should consider moving up in weight and facing Stevenson or Kovalev for all the marbles at 175. He's 30 years old and shouldn't waste his prime.

The only exception to that is if Andre Dirrell beats James DeGale because that fight was supposed to happen years ago and Dirrell retired before it could take place.

The Froch fight is not even a fight worth discussing. Froch is the second best super middleweight during his reign in the division. Nothing to be ashamed of as Ward would likely do well against the division's best from yesteryear. Nothing would change in a rematch between them and I'm sorry if that offends you.

Frankly, Froch should move up in weight too if he wasn't planning on retiring.

I would have agreed if it came up 2 years ago but would have argued for it just to see Ward leave home. I dont think its the same kind of rematch now though and especially in that crazy house across the pond. Ward should have jumped up after the S6 like he said he was going to do but instead went on strike because there was nobody left at 168 and the pressure was starting to mount for him to do something. We dont know how much that sit out effected him and we wont know until he gets in with someone that has a prayer. Carl has nobody left either and I doubt he fancies moving up. The money fight is Chavez but its also meaningless. Plus its unclear if the guy could even make 168.

I'm not trying to defend Ward, but he was fighting with Goossen which didn't help with anything.
Froch has said more than once he wants to fight in Vegas before he retires. I'm thinking he has earned a Vegas fight and is serious.
