Why is Ward so against Froch-Kessler 2??

[ruthless rocco]

Hes just a bitter little bitch.

Hes jealous that Froch is now a bigger name than him because of the Bute fight. Also, he probably wants to point out that the Mack fight means nothing because Mack was weight drained but he cant say that now can he...

No matter what Ward does, he will never be a big money fighter. Hes not all that skilled, or has power. Hes fragile and needs to hold. Bika had him hurt and he ran and held. He put alot of fans off with that awfull showing against Kessler. His whole "style" is just disrupting the rythm of another fighter, which for him means holding and rubbing his head in.

So what you're saying is Froch lost to a fragile, unskilled fighter with no power, right? That can't be good

Exactly.

I like froch but ward had his number in that fight. I am sure froch has a better chance than anyone in winning the rematch but while thats not happening, ward needs to stay busy and keep fighting.

At least ward is prepared to give rematches and the win over southpaw dawson was quite an impressive fight.

Ward is getting better..every fight.

dawson isn't very good. beating him is no great accomplishment.

is it? froch exposed bute as being overrated by destroying him in a manner most people weren't expecting... whereas anyone with any boxing acumen knew dawson was crap despite all the hype in preparation for the fight.

You know why Froch exposed Bute? Cuz he got to him first. I have no doubt Ward and Kessler would of done the the exact same thing if they would of got to him first. And on the flip side I can't see Froch beating Dawson the way Ward did. I can't see Froch beating Dawson period.

i think froch beats a weight drained dawson. no doubt about it. i'd bet he'd do him in less than 10 rounds too.

bute may not beat ward, but i think he would beat kessler by ko.

I think Froch kicks the shit out of him and also agree that Bute beats Kessler. It just kills me how fast boxers get written off today. It's almost trend like. "Exposed" and "overrated" passed around like pot at a Grateful Dead concert.

Bute lost a fight against another top fighter. It was his first fight away and in hostile territory and he had a melt down. Its not the first time it has happened and it wont be the last. I'm unsure as to the reasoning behind going up to 175 unless he plans on staying. I have seen nothing in the media about why the rematch clause was not used. That Grachev fight did nothing to improve his shattered confidence. My only fear is that he could be mentally done.

Ward beating Dawson was as impressive as Froch beating Mack. Taking a fighter from a higher weight division and bringing him down does not make an impressive win.

Pascal had already beaten Dawson at his own fucking weight and Froch chased Pascal out of the supermiddles

Froch would have stopped Dawson alot earlier than Ward did and it would have been a shot to the chin too. As I recall, Dawson took a shot to the stomach and quit. Froch wouldnt ha e given him the chance to quit.

Frochs win over Bute is a thousand times mor impressive than Wards over Dawson.

[imp]

Dawson is not crap.

Bute could never beat dawson.

ward has ducked no one and froch hasnt either.

I like both fighters but ward had frochs number.
Froch also had issues with dirrell..ward is a stronger version.

i think bute would have a very good chance of beating dawson at SMW

in fact i think butes bodyshots would be the difference when fighting a weight drained fighter

at light heavy dawson would be a strong favourite to beat bute

And Ward can shut up anyway he's pulled out of the Pavlik fight because he needs shoulder surgery. He will also be out for a while recovering so I doubt he will have a big names rematch for his return fight. I doubt Froch or Kessler will fight Ward in 2013, it just does depend on the recovery period for Ward though.

[imp]

Why is there so much hate for ward?
What has he done wrong?
He doesnt even need to give froch or kessler a rematch but he will because its the best money fights out there.

Ward would have beaten bute as well..prob not as easy as froch did but who cares! This is the man that has beaten froch and kessler already!

Ward strength is very decieving and he is alot stronger and tougher than people think he is.

Im a fan of froch but the smart move for him is to fight ward at the end of 2014...in the meantime he can fight bute, kessler and possibly dirrell.

I don't hate ward I respect him as a champion, he put on a hell of a performance against Froch. But I just don't understand why he has a problem with the Froch-Kessler rematch especially when he is injured himself. I think whoever does win between Froch-Kessler does deserve a rematch against Ward considering there isn't that much at 175 and Ward doesn't want to move up anyway. So it completely makes sense for a rematch.

Froch would do a lot better in a rematch against Ward especially if he can get Ward to come to the UK for the fight. But if the fight is in the states again I don't think Froch would have a chance really. I don't think the rematch should happen as late as 2014, Froch will be older by then and I think he wouldn't be as good as he is now if he leaves it that late.

Froch needs to fight Kessler, then Bute and then hopefully by then Ward is ready again. I don't see the point in Froch fighting Dirrell again, Dirrell hasn't done anything for ages and it wouldn't prove much. Froch has domestic options like Degale and Groves which would be massive here in the UK, but I doubt Froch wants to bother with the younger fighters this late in his career, but who knows what will happen. Bute said that he might want one more fight before Froch as well, i hope he does have that fight.

Hearn said he wants Kessler in May or June and then Ward in November. I wonder what Bute will have to say about this?

froch will be doing bute a favour if he fights these other guys first. bute needs to work on his defense before he takes on a challenge like froch again. he didn't show any improvement in his last fight and i think he knows the outcome of a fight with froch would be the same at this point. maybe in a year if bute really work improving his defense.

[Master]

I do not think Ward is worried about Froch and Kessler taking the limelight from him. Ward is the best super middle without any doubt as he has comprehensively beaten both.

Ward is just taking his time whilst Froch and Kessler beat each other up. Ward is skilled but not a hard puncher and therefore not the most exciting fighter. Ward methodically beats his opponents up. This injury will be a set back for him but he has time on his side the Pavlik fighter was just a keep busy and earn some money fight.
