What happened to Froch?

[IamInuit]

I tend to disagree. I really don't see the point in this rematch and I don't understand the desire for it. Ward won hands-down last time around. What will change in the rematch? Ward should move up and face the beasts at 175.

I would have agreed if it came up 2 years ago but would have argued for it just to see Ward leave home. I dont think its the same kind of rematch now though and especially in that crazy house across the pond. Ward should have jumped up after the S6 like he said he was going to do but instead went on strike because there was nobody left at 168 and the pressure was starting to mount for him to do something. We dont know how much that sit out effected him and we wont know until he gets in with someone that has a prayer. Carl has nobody left either and I doubt he fancies moving up. The money fight is Chavez but its also meaningless. Plus its unclear if the guy could even make 168.

I'm not trying to defend Ward, but he was fighting with Goossen which didn't help with anything.
Froch has said more than once he wants to fight in Vegas before he retires. I'm thinking he has earned a Vegas fight and is serious.

Junior may lose his next fight, true.

I'd just be chilling out as well if I were him, he's had enough of a run and if he only plans to fight once more anyways the rest couldn't hurt. Don't think many people really expect a Ward rematch would go much differently or be a great fight, and would it even bring in more money than any other he might hope for?

Chavez Jr-Fonfara is a pick em, but if Jr wins that it would be a no brainer for Froch to push for it.
