Khan, Froch or Haye. Who is the British fighter of the year?

[CFH]

Quite easily Amir tbh. The dominant victory over Paulie was impressive and his first 9 rounds against Maidana were almost flawless. He then proved he has heart in that fight.

Haye has had one fight this year (Harrison was not a fight) and it was against average opposition.

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.

[hackey]

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.

[ono]

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

[generalbulldog]

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.

[seeds]

Khan, he's proved a lot of doubters wrong this year. Froch came back well from the Kessler defeat, but Haye let himself down getting involved in the Fraudley fiasco, hopefully he can pull it out the bag next year

[:::PSL:::]

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.

[milmascaras1]

i'll go with carl froch. i think he's the UK's best fighter. amir khan, although very good, is a bit overrated!

[Dean Duke]

Got to go with Froch, his comp has been higher, he regained his title and the old dog learnt new tricks for Abraham.

[mattboxingfan]

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.

[Violent Demise]

Ricky Burns. Fuck the other 3

[iwng100]

1. Amir Khan - undoubtedly
2. David Haye
3. Nathan Cleverly (beat undefeated Karo Murat and EU champ Nadjib Mohammedi)
Froch lost to Kessler so he's out of the race.

[Master]

Froch who can argue he is the best in the division the others can't.

[Hornfinger]

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.
