Andre Ward: Froch or Johnson?

This isn't about what you think will happen in the June 4 fight between Carl Froch and Glen Johnson, it's a question about what fight you think provides the most excitement in the looming Super Six World Boxing Classic final fight.

The way I figure it, Carl Froch is in his prime, is a good fighter, an underrated tactician, and he's also a pretty smart fighter. In terms of physical attributes, I don't think he's Ward's equal. But then neither is Johnson, who is in his 40s, and it's nice that he's here because everyone likes Glen Johnson, but we've perhaps gone a bit batty over him beating Allan Green.

Johnson, though, strikes me as a fighter who has over the years seen just about everything Ward brings to the table. Speed, roughhouse tactics, a good jab, good ring IQ. The question in that case, I think, would be whether or not Johnson at his age can keep up with that stuff anymore. Froch can hold pace with Ward, I think. Johnson, I'm not so sure.

But that's why they fight each other to earn the right to fight Ward.

So who's the best next opponent in your mind, right now? Savvy old dog Johnson, or prime and tough Froch? What's the tougher and better fight for Andre Ward?
