Thread: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?

Which of these two UK boxers do you have more respect for?

Who is the greater ring warrior of the two?

This doesnt even need answering!

Whilst the obvious answer is Froch, David was disputed champion at cruiserweight whereas no one can say Carl is with Ward around.

I have no respect for Haye whatsoever. He gave Audinary Harrison a title shot, put on a pathetic display against Wlad and the whole Chisora debacle was just embarrassing.

Froch, on the other hand, is a true throwback fighter and a credit to the sport.

This must be an ironic or a gag poll, why would anyone pick Haye over a guy who's been all over the place fighting great opposition?

I have no love for Haye but just a thin attempt to slag on him here eh. Froch hands down

Oh and the answer is Benn

Haye, for the same reason you all said Froch over Calzaghe in the other thread, harder opponents.

Haye has more power, more skill, and he's done it consistently in higher weight classes.

Well, based on their weight class yes.

Huh? Haye has faced better Cruiser and HW's than Froch has Super middles, in your mind?

Haye losing to Thompson would be the equivilent of Froch losing to Reid

Haye really fucked up with his approach to the Kiltschko fight. Thought it would be a wham bam thank you maam type of event but it all backfired and pretty much ended his chances of any type of legacy. Very hard style for him to ever figure out, any guy with that kind of size, strength, and crushing power and you can't really blame him for not wanting to take three punches to land one but the whole toe thing was ridiculous.

Obviously we're talking pound for pound relevant to their own weights...

Respect well boxing has a lot of hype involved in it, to sell the fight so many fighters talk
its part of the fight game.
The thing is boxing is a nasty business, there are nice guys and some not so nice guys, I'VE
MEET, a few some gentlemen, some are TWATS.
Remember boxing is not for the faint of heart is it, brutal one on one sport.
We can respect people for there boxing ability, but as a person well that's a different story.

Froch. Just because he's fought a consistent list of the world's best and because of the way he fights. I have a lot of respect for Haye though. It terms of the business side of boxing, he's made a quick buck without taking much damage.
