    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.

    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

    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.

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

    Difficult one, personally I'm going to say I back the underdog in Froch, as he goes about his business despite the public view and gets the job done at a top class level. He's so underrated by the mainstream due to the shoddy promoting, and deserves to be a household name.
    However, he lacks the 'personality' that this award demands. Therefore Haye is the inevitable choice in the publics opinion. Fighting on British soil, and capturing the non-boxing viewing public. His personality sells fights, along with his ability.
    Khan has a good case after his performance against Maidana.
    As I said though for me, Froch, definitely from a boxing fans perspective. He deserves some attention too.
    Got a bit mixed up with the shitty BBC sports personality that I watched there

    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.

    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.

    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.
