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...
