By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch really launched a salvo of barbs at his former conqueror WBA/WBC super middleweight champion Andre Ward, calling him boring, and saying he’s desperate for a fight in an interview at Ifilmlondon.

Here’s some of the juicy stuff Froch said “He’s very dull and boring and every fight he’s involved with in is boring…He’s trying to get a fight with Kessler, he’s trying to get Bute, but Bute don’t want to fight him. He’s talking about a catchweight with [Sergio] Martinez. Ridiculous. Martinez is a light middleweight at best…The desperation from Andre Ward since winning the title off me is getting bad…After I beat Bute, I might look at that fight as a rematch.”

Boy, Froch sounds like he’s really having a hard time dealing with his one-sided spanking by Ward in the Super Six tourney finals last December. Froch sounds like he can’t let go of the pain from the loss to Ward and is lashing out at him to make himself feel better somehow. The closer reality isn’t that Ward is desperate for a fight; it’s more like he’s too good for the guys below him on the pedestal. None of the guys, aside from the Dirrell brothers, are fighting at a high enough level to give him any problems and none of them are proven. Froch has lost two out of his last five fights, and three out of his last five if you count his gift decision over Andre Dirrell as a loss like I do. All Ward wants is some proven quality fighters to take on, and Bute hasn’t done anything to prove he deserves to be in the same ring with Ward. Froch already had his chance and is now old news. It’s all about what’s next for Ward, but he’s not going to go backwards and face a guy like Froch when he so easily beat him.

As far as Ward being boring, I don’t agree it all. He’s so good that it becomes boring to watch him dominate the best fighters with ease. Mismatches are rarely exciting and all of Ward’s fights have been mismatches, including his fight with Froch.
