    Respect Froch clearly more but Haye is clearly the better fighter.

    I respect them both highly, both want the BIG fights and both put themselves in the firing line

    Froch is less likely to shy away from tough fights, but he's got less to lose.

    Yeah but its the intangibles that you or i don't see that make Froch what he is in the ring. I could be wrong,but i reckon Froch is way more dedicated to his craft than Haye is. Been well documented that Haye is a bit of a lazy in training and takes shortcuts,was blowing very heavy against Ruiz i thought. So,if we are basing the " better fighter" on skill alone then yes i would say Haye. But if were saying the better fighter based on skill,fitness,stamina, dedication,ambition i will take Froch any day of the week. Best British boxer is Froch at the moment.

    Haye won both titles abroad.

    Froch fought the hardest 4 or 5 fights in a row of any Brit in the last 30 years imo.

    Respect to both, i lean to Froch more

    Froch without a doubt i respect haye but Froch has been on a tough run lately i mean pascal, taylor, dirrell, kessler, abraham and all he has been talking about is a rematch with pascal or kessler i get the feeling that if he was offered a shot at 1 of the klitschko's he'd probly take it

    Froch. There's nobody he won't fight. He jumped into the top fights as soon as he hit world level. Pascal, Taylor in the US first defence, Dirrell, Kessler in his backyard, Abraham away, possibly rematch with Abraham or fight with Ward. That needs to be respected and commended.

    Everybody that entered into this tournament deserves respect, Froch's run of competition has been pretty formidable by any standards.

    But I respect Haye too, I think he did things the right way for a long while and has gone off track recently now his worth has increased. Won the European title against decent opposition, fought for a world title away from home against a tough opponent stylistically, moved up to heavy to challenge himself when he could have been the big fish in a small pond and has racked up a few nice victories. He's just let himself down with a couple of comments and this Audley fight.

    To me they're similar characters trash-talk and ego wise too.

    Froch. Haye's a *****.

    I think you struggle to find a Brit who's had such a hard run of fights as Froch has had in his last 4 fights, knowing whats in store too).

    I genuinely don't know a single person who wants Haye to win against Harrison.

    Just think about what an absurd comment that is...... People wanting Audley '****ing' Harrison to beat one of our only World Champions (A champion who up until a year ago was one of our proudest exports)

    Froch

    Have to admire the fact that he fights anybody.
