    I'd say froch at this moment in time has done better things than both Haye and Khan.

    I say Khan is the most skilled of the 3.. But Froch is the most fan friendly..

    its more his willingness to fight everyone and travel that gets a lot of respect, even if ward beats him I respect froch more because he travels, fights everyone and tries the best he can, unfortunately its rare in boxing nowadays. Even when he loses to ward there will be plenty of great fights left to make for Froch.

    I may have picked against him once or twice in the past (Taylor & Abraham).
    But IMO it's Carl Froch. (Easy choice)

    Resume speaks for itself.

    The undefeated, unheralded and under hyped John Murray

    Khan should have faced him back in 08/09 and indeed to his credit he wanted the fight but he was forbidden to meet Murray by Frank ****** ( theres a youtube clip of ****** staing that " murray will never get a fight with amir khan, ever " )

    but out of the three you mentioned - its gotta be:

    talentwise = Khan

    heart and testicular fortitude - Froch

    best dressed and best taste in music - probably haye .

    ^^^^^

    We're basing boxers standings on their dress sense and musical taste?

    Froch's a chaser. It's normal for a guy like that to be 'willing to fight anyone'. Glen Johnson, Bradley (at one point), Clinton Woods, etc, they've all done it. He's not any more special than the rest of them.

    Not to mention, he's in the Super Six tournament - where he's not exactly had a choice but to fight the people put in front of him. Guarantee that if he was blessed with a high profile and a marketable name that allowed him to fight anyone, we'd be singing a different tune about him. Because, like I say, he's always been the 'chaser', and not the 'chased'.
