I'm curious what the odds are for this fight. I honestly see Froch as a full class below Ward and having virtually no chance of winning the fight.

IMO he lost the fight to Dirrell. He lost to Kessler (which was the ugliest, sloppist, most amateurish looking fight I've ever seen between two supposedly elite fighters). On my cards, he's lost half of the Super 6 fights he's been in.

He looked good in the Johnson fight though, I'll give him that. So maybe he's really just improved drastically since the beginning of the tournament.

I'd still be happy to lay down a wad of cash on Ward with even halfway-decent odds.
what makes you say froch is a class below ward? which fights of wards make you say this?

against AA froch did a much better job away from home
bika, bute and calazaghi beat him a lot clearer and more comfortable
green, johnson did a much better job
miranda, how many fighters have done a better job

like i keep saying by far his best result was against kessler and all of the damage was done by the head

take the kessler fight away is ward really the superstar everyone is suggesting?
