    I'm a big fan of Joe and I believe he whups Froch H2H but he never faced 2 World class opponents on the bounce, never mind ten. He also didn't travel to face them apart from the odd exception.

    I'm a fan of Froch to, love the way he fights and who he fights, but I just can't help but hide the fact that because Calzaghe was almost seen as to be Froch's nemisis Calazaghe seems to get a lot of unwarranted hate.

    Joe never dared to be great. He sat at home and took the pay-cheques, which is fine, it's his health, but it detracts from his legacy. Look at how many elites he could have fought and didn't, something even Frochs worse critic could not say. I'm not going to get into what happened to prevent those fights, but if Joe wanted them bad enough he could have had them.

    We'll never know but I would say probably. Shame this Super 6 tournament wasn't around 3 or 4 years previous.

    Who would they be then? I can't think of many elite fighters he could have realistically fought to be honest.

    This is a much better run of opponents.

    Chisora (110 kilos) 6'2 Former World title challenger. robbed.

    W. Klitschko (110Kilos) 6'7. World champ.

    Audley Harrison (115 kilos) 6'5 Euro champ. Olympic hero.

    Ruiz. (101 Kilos) 6'2 former world champ.

    Valuev (144. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR Kilos) 7'2 .world champ.

    Barrett (102 kilos) 6'3. challenged for world title many times.

    Maccarinelli (6'4) World champ.

    Mormeck World champ.


    Now let's bare in mind Froch's actual size and it becomes even more obvious.
    Froch 6'1. That's right 6'1 which is more or less the same as Hayemaker. If Haye wanted too he could have easily cheated as well and cut down to that weight with the rest of the chancers but that's not how Haye rolls. Haye wants and wins the ultimate prize. Haye even takes on the biggest most brutal boxer of all time, an actual giant no less. But Haye slayed Goliath.........again.
