Big H - the Jeff Lacy-Joe Calzaghe comparison is a good one for Froch fans.

Froch's faced tougher challenges in his pro career than Ward has. I just have a hard time seeing Ward losing this fight. His smothering style is tough to beat. As much as Erics and Finito hate me for it, my favorite super middleweight is Lucian Bute, and I would say the same thing for Bute as I would say for Froch, Ward is a tough fight. He's just tough to hit cleanly. If Froch wins this fight, it'll go down as not only a great feat in the supermiddleweight division but in boxing lore as a whole. Froch is a guy that people have consistently picked against his whole career and he's consistently proved them wrong. He travels abroad to fight the best. He's tough. It's hard not to appreciate him. It's just in Ward he's going to face a very nuanced boxer. More nuanced than I believe he's faced so far. This is one of those fights where if I bet, I would bet on Ward, but root for Froch.
