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

[AdamGB]

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.

You're kidding me? Harder opponents

Well, based on their weight class yes.

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

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.

So David Haye should be more respected than Marquez or Pac or Mayweather etc?

I almost follow your logic... (Almost)

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!!

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.

[Vendettos]

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.
