    ............

    There are some other decent boxers around Kell Brook, Nathan Cleverly, Tyson fury, but realistically none as good as these three at the moment.

    So what do you guys think?

    Haye's recent wins are not on the same level as Froch and Khan, he is 3rd.

    Ward was far from poor against Abraham. Never in danger of losing that fight.

    I went for Khan, as I generally think he's a "better" boxer. He's got amazing hand speed, and is technically very good.

    Although Froch is fighting at a much more difficult weight division where the standard of opponent is much higher. I also cant decide how much credit to give him for the Taylor victory. Yes he showed great heart and courage etc etc, but he was getting beaten and really should have lost that fight. He has got a granite chin though, but as a boxer he's abit more limited yet fights ways to win.

    Id say they are pretty neck and neck. If Froch beats Ward he would edge ahead, although if Khan gets another decent victory in his next fight, he could edge ahead again.

    Oh my ****ing god, its 1 thing listening to dumb ****ers on the general saying it over and over again but how should Froch have lost to Taylor ? Last time i checked it was 12 3 minute rounds ? Yes he was losing the fight but he took it by the scruff of the neck and battered Taylor and stopped him. Sorry mate but stupid thing to say.

    1. Froch
    2. Khan
    3. Haye

    I could possibly see Khan being 1 but I feel Froch has achieved more right now.

    Froch is the best IMO, Khan is a close second.

    Alrite fella calm down.

    Its your opinion but its not a stupid thing to say at all. I said I didnt know how much credit to give him. Which means I that I think it was a decent victory, and he definatly proved something to me that night. But Taylor should have won that fight, but he showed a complete lack of heart, and took his foot off the gas.

    I havent said anywhere that Froch didnt deserve it, because he most certainly did. Its moments like that KO that make boxing great, and so exciting to watch. BUT he was being techincally out fought Froch upto that point, which is why I put Froch behind Khan, because Froch is slightly more limited and Khan is alot more technical.

    But if you read my whole posts rather than picking up on one sentence, you'll see I gave Froch his props, so you can jump down off your high horse.

    As for the point your probably right the 140/147 division is better. To be honest I totally forgot about the 147's but Khan hasnt really fought any of the top guys in that division. And the SMW's easily beat the 140's, even though who fights at which weight isnt as clear cut.
