    i think the other way dude

    froch is stronger than ward, ward will find it tough fighting the way usually fights

    he has a chance if he uses his skills on the back foot but its not his normal game

    froch should beat johnson, but ward should beat him. ward smothers and holds and fights rough. he'll move in on froch too fast for froch to catch him and then he'll smother him all night. none of ward's fights are very entertaining, and this won't be either. the fight isn't in Oakland though - that should even the playing field a little bit. still favor ward though.

    in my opinion thats why ward will struggle, froch will be too strong on the inside

    Andre should win this but i will be supporting Carl. If he can land big then who knows but I think Andre is too seasoned and quick. Carl will try and bully him but it will not work especially in Andre's hometown.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Are people in denial? Ward is ten times better than Froch. He has a better jab, he's more technical, he's a much better inside fighter. THe only way Froch wins is if he can hurt Ward.

    Has Ward even been wobbled as a professional?

    Edit. Darnell Boone knocked him down.

    It's naive to think anyone can't get hurt in boxing, they all have. Especially against decent puncher like froch. I think froch is surprisingly effective with his style, but honestly think of a guy coming in on you like that. He has a stiff jab with awkward yet somewhat effective defensive skills. He seems wide open but he's more than willing to take a shot to land one harder on you, and he does little things that spoil his opponent's gameplan. The he will have with Ward which he largely had with dirrell except when he cheated, is that Andre will get and out too quickly for froch to retaliate and ward will dictate the pace with his jab moreso than froch because he quicker, and because he moves with his whole body behind the jab. Froch snaps his up, but his footwork isn't really there when he moves in with his jab, and he's a little off balance. If ward moves away from it then counters with his own jab then froch will be frustrated all night. Also andre will be the first guy froch has faced that has a real inside game while being an elite fighter.

    I know this should be another thread. I also know most don't care.
    Anyone hear from Dirrell?
