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?

Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
This doesnt even need answering!

Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
Whilst the obvious answer is Froch, David was disputed champion at cruiserweight whereas no one can say Carl is with Ward around.

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

Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
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?
-
Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
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 ;D

Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
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;D

Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
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... :vd:

Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
Respect well boxing has a lot of hype involved in it, to sell the fight so many fighters talk :bs:
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.
-
Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
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.

Don't really want to answer your loaded question but have often wondered if your name has anything to do with a love of Wham ?

Lol my respect isn't measured by weight class lol.
So I respect David Haye more as he fights giants.
Who's achieved more is another matter, as that's not something that is opinion but fact.

Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
Froch. He lets his fists do the talking. Haye lost a lot of my respect with "Toe-gate".

So David Haye should be more respected than Marquez or Pac or Mayweather etc?
I almost follow your logic... (Almost)

Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
froch, even tho i consistently pick against the guy and he consistently proves me wrong, it's like i'm a glutton for punishment, but the guy is an exemplary fighter.
-
Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
15-1 thus far.
Rodney Dangerfield ain't got nothing on David Haye.

Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
It's a silly comparison. Froch is a man who stays busy and fights tough fights. Haye is more a posing boxer. He puts on the mask whenever he fancies a payday. Froch just gets on with it. Froch is for real.
-
Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
You gotta respect both, I don't know how you decide who to respect more.
Froch is a fighting Champion, has b@lls as large as grapefruits, is exciting, and fights all the best guys in his weight-class.
However, Haye was also a World Champion, and went up in weight to the Big Dogs of Boxing: The Heavyweights.
The Heavyweights is why weight-classes were invented, because a good Big Man is the true King of the Hill, King of the Sport, and no little dog can f*<k with the Heavyweight Champ of the World.
Every one of these World Champs is all other weight classes know they take the backseat compared to the Heavyweight Champ who could clean out all the Champs in all other weight classes.
I don't think this topic holds water...

Well yes, in a way.
That's not to say that I believe Haye is a better boxer. He isn't.
But he's fighting guys 6'6 to 7+ foot fighting at 200lbs to whatever Valuev weighed.
HW is a little tougher also because there isn't a weight cap, every other weight has a limit for safety and fairness.
It's only natural to show respect for that alone.
Too many people disowned Haye.
Something which is shocking to any world champion.
17-1 on this thread in terms of votes.
:) come at me bros!!

Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
The weights might well be capped everywhere else but heavy BUT only on the scales. There are fighters drying out to weigh in and are coming in 20lbs heavier at welter. That is a bigger percentage of body weight than 20lbs for a big fat heavy weight.
-
Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
David Haye 217lbs v Valuev 310lbs.
93lbs weight advantage.
Show me that at any other weight than heavy bud.

Valuev was garbage...shouldn't even have been holding the title when that fight happened. Valuev flat out refused to fight Wladimir or Vitali, he was just like John Ruiz he wanted nothing to do with the actual kings of the heavyweight ring.
Froch doesn't have to do a whole bunch of trash talking, Haye does because of how little he offers in the ring. ***GASP*** Yes look at Haye's style, it's 1 big punch at a time, yes the guy is skilled and he COULD make something of himself at the heavyweight division but he doesn't want to get hit, he doesn't want to do the work to set up his punches, and he loves the life of a sports star not the dedication and hard work it takes to be a sports star.

Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
Is this a trick question? Froch is a true warrior and fights whoever, whenever and would fight his ass off even if all his toes were broken.
-
Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
Froch no question. Froch is a real man's man, a true warrior who goes out and gives it his all.
I was excited about Haye because he was an exciting HW, but how can you respect a guy who talks so much shit only to put on a shit show like he did against Wlad and whine about a toe.
Froch all day.
-
Re: Which British boxer do you have more respect for: Froch or Haye?
Froch strikes me as a man's man and I respect the hell out of him but Haye, not so much. Haye is a troll, more talk than action.
Haye dont even deserve to be in the same sentence as Froch who has done so much in this sport. If anyting it should be HAtton or Froch. Who deserves more respect..
Haye is a pussy. He's an actor
