Froch has the heart of the lion and takes on all comers, but was seen as slow and predictable.

Froch of course wiped the floor with Bute as we know.

Haye is seen as the more skilled, faster fighter but at HEAVYWEIGHT bar losing to Wladimir in a one sided points defeat he has fought b/ c list fighters.

Chisora is slower and more predictable but has had 3 successive wars against Top 10 ranked heavyweights Fury, Helenius & Vitali.

Could we see Haye's Cruiserweight stature exposed here quite badly when Chisora walks through his best shots?

You could also add that Froch going into the Bute fight was seen as feather fisted like Chisora.

Froch's pretty much been fighting guys the same size as him. It's a bit harsh to discredit Chisora for losing against 2 undefeated 6ft 6 + giants, and a dominant 6ft 8 champion like Vitali who would have beaten Haye anyway. In retrospect Chisora has a harder job, because of his physical disadvantages against larger opposition. He's still done pretty well though, and he hasn't been put down like Carl has.
