I also feel Froch has as good a chance as any ato beat Ward.

He looked like shit in their first fight because he still had delusions of being a good elusive boxer when all he needed to do was just work consistantly not trying to load up on silly hooks and upercuts like Hamed used to.

If he could go in to a rematch with the mentality to work, dont wait for Ward, dictate the pace and dont let Ward hold. Ward will tire as he always does and then as you said, he has to hope he has enough left in the last 3rd to really put it on Ward. Against a tough strong fighter like Kessler or Bika that isnt going to happen because they will still be there throwing with you to the death, whereas Ward will be vulnerable.

Its all ifs and buts but if kessler had started to work more in the 3rd their fight would have been a draw and depending on whos interpereting the rounds that were close, it could have gone to Kessler. In my eyes, Froch still hasnt proven hes the better man. One win a piece but he does have that strength and stamina to always give Ward problems late in a fight.
