    Froch has had one good win.
    Haye did fight Ruiz aswell, Froch no matter if you think he beat Kessler or not he has an loss this year so hasrd for him to get it over Amir.
    That was the fight he counted, he didnt count the Harrison fight.

    It's ironic that most fightfans dont even think Haye was the boxer of the year in Britain, and yet he's been nominated for Sports personality of the year. I guess Amir's success came too late maybe.

    I can understand Haye been nominated for the Sports Personality of the Year. He's had a massive year in terms of raising his profile, he just hasn't accomplished much in the ring.

    That's the frustration with that award and it's a pretty poor barometer. I was referring to Ruiz as Haye's only fight. It can also be argued that Khan has now actually had a defining fight and Haye has not.

    Haye has had defining fights, against Enzo and Mormeck, arguably Valuev. Not this year though.

    I can make cases with myself that all three were not, most notably Enzo based on his performances ever since that fight. But using the same logic I can no longer class Calzaghe Lacy as defining for Joe so I'm not sure if it's fair to retrospectively change the goalposts so to speak.

    Haye has definitely done little of merit this year though.

    Froch, mainly because i think he beat Kessler and he easily beat Abraham.

    I voted David Haye, the new force at HW. He is the only man in HW championship history to not have a punch landed on him in 2 rounds! Not even Ali, Tyson, Holyfield, Foreman, Dempsey, Louis, and all other HW legends can say that.

    Eventhough Khan clearly won the fight, I was actually more impressed with Maidana (except for the elbow). And for that, I have to give slight edge for Froch.

    Easily Froch look at his opposition in comparison to Haye and Khan he has been fighting the best and making a real great show of it. He lost his title in a real close war then fought Abraham and dominated him! He deserves it.

    Froch who can argue he is the best in the division the others can't.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Well it ain't Khan. Who's he fought? No title holders and no legit number one contenders.

    Haye for a similar reason as khan altghough there are only 3 other fighters in his division that could test him and at least 2 don't want to fight him. The Audley fight was a shame.

    Froch has beat genuine title holders and has defended agaist good opposition. He's fought the best in the division and narrowly lost to kessler away from home.


    On paper you have to go with froch.

    My vote goes to Khan.

    He had one impressive performance against a top 10 JWW in Paulie and went on to beat big puncher Maidana ( top 5 JWW) in a good fight where he got tested but came back and proved himself.

    Froch looked great against Abraham but his loss to Kessler earlier this year hurts him. ( i thought Kessler deserved the win, really close fight though)

    i personal think froch beat kessler and along with his win against AA he probably should pip khan

    however the scores went against him against kessler so youd probly have to say khan
