Ugh. What a fool.

For all the garbage people want to talk about Froch, he consistantly is able to land up-jabs on top 10 SMWs. He is deceptive with speed and has sneaky power... He throws from odd angles, in unorthodox and besides bad foot placement he's an all around solid fighter that is in the top 3 SMWs in the word. Ward would have his hands full with Froch as would ANYONE in the div. Styles make fights and if Froch can cut off the ring effectively and take short steps back when Ward comes in to hold/headbut, he could score an enormous upset.

As far as the supersix being "a joke"... It's a great idea to breath life into a rather floundering sport and any ideas are welcome.

How is pitting the best of a div against eachother (or at least most of the top guys) a bad idea?

Step your game up because your lack luster decription on why you find a ground breaking tourny "a joke" is, in fact, a joke.

Go play badminton or something. Leave the combat sports to the people that understand them. You, clearly, don't.

First off, while I agree that it's stupid to say the super six isn't interesting anymore, but you shouldn't criticize other peoples knowledge of the sport when you also don't have a great knowledge of what's going in there. You can't just take a step back and counter ward coming in, people have been saying to do that against Hopkins and nobody has been able to do that. This is because they don't just try to get in and hold. They control the space and they maintain the pressure on their opponent. It's why they have such great range because they lead with their feet and not their hands. They don't just fall in like ruiz. If froch tries to step back he's just giving ward room to follow the jab with a cross. This fight will be similar to mayweather mosley because one guy is better coordinate with a more solid base and the other is stronger also athletic but often off balance and has a poor base
