    David Haye. The guy has got many people interested in the HW division. Some just want to see him get brutally KOed and others believe he is the saviour but either way he is getting you interested in seeing him fight.

    Exactly. Every day tons on threads about loving or (mostly) hating him.

    It's all good for boxing.

    Despite what some people have been accussing of he has always taking on the tuff challenges.

    Taking on Tony Booth on your debut sort of sets out the stool that your not gonna f about!!!

    It is amazing what the guy has achieved in around 25 pro fights. European CW champ, Lineal, Ring, WBC, WBA and WBO CW champ and now WBA HW champ.

    Agreed. To do all that in 25 fights in this era is very unusual.

    Makes me laugh what people are now throwing at him. Seems his achiements count for sweet FA!!!

    He trains where I do when he is over here. But he's deffinately Polish. Did cheer him on though and he gave it a decent effort. He also signed a glove for me. Nice bloke is Albert.

    I chose to ignore the troubles he has had out of the ring...because after all, it's his personal business. Like I said, I respect what he is doing in the ring.

    The boxer I have had the most respect for over the past couple years has been Froch...in and out of the ring. He talks a lot of crap...but has a great attitude in wanting to fight the best, even though he overrates his abilties slightly.

    I respect all of them for getting in the ring, but my favorite would have to be Amir Khan. At first I didn't really like him, but after being humbled by Prescott and picking up Roach he is really turning into a helluva fighter. I just don't like how some of his fans post polls about how he would do against some of the all time great fighters when we haven't even seen him fight an elite fighter in the division yet.

    thank you. I'm glad that some of the people on here respect everyone that gets in the ring and puts there lives on the line. I mean I understand that it's easy to say this person is a ***** or that person is a ***** cuz you don't like them, but aint none of them bitches if they have the balls to get in the ring and fight.

    I have to say though, in the ring I like Froch quite a bit. He's ridiculous outside of it, though.

    Froch, being that he comes to fight, and he fights the best around. Didn't sit on his belt and entered the Super Six, didn't drop it and went to America to fight Taylor in his first defence.

    And Bellew. Looks to challenge himself, proper down to earth bloke and I respect that he has a lot of time for his fans and fans of boxing in general by coming on here and posting regularly.
