Ward has the Hopkins-like ability to take away the jab of fighters with very good jabs. Without the jab Froch is just a slow-footed fighter with rubbish technique albeit hard/tough/warrior blah blah. Froch didn't beat a pound for pound guy last weekend, Groves hasn't shown he can even last twelve rounds at world level yet. Ward is on another level to Froch, or at least the pre shoulder injury pre layoff Ward was.
The shoulder injury was somewhat of an excuse because since his shoulder injury, Ward doesn't use that arm very much.
To the OP's question, no, Froch cannot beat Ward on most days. Ward is the best of this era's super middleweights, and Froch is the second best. Ward should move up in weight. Froch probably has put together a HOF career by the way.
