    Since 2004 between them...

    30 wins, 24 KOs, titles in 3 weight divisions, 4 world titles, european title, commonwealth title....

    Love to see what happens when they do start backing it up...

    I've never heard froch accused of not backing **** up , of being overrated yes but no so much not backing it up

    Haye only has himslef to blame , kicking up the stink he did , he should be taking Wlads hand off for that fight.

    As much as I like Haye (as he really is the only one who can save the heavyweight division) he does deserves the stick he gets for not backing up his talk. He chased and chased after the Klitchsko fights, and when it came, he backed out not once, but twice. So he above all else, he has really got to back up his claims

    As for Froch, well he's in the process of doing his backing. He may be a twat of a person, but at least he has never shown signs of shying away from a challenge. The end result of his performance in the Super Six will confirm whether he is/was indeed the man he claimed to be. Personally, I think he lacks the skill set to do this, and will only go so far in this competitiion

    Froch only gets sh*t for his lack of technical ability, until so far he backed up his claims imo...

    Haye on the other hand... Don't get me started! :-((
     
  5. To blame for what?! Winning the World Heavyweight title on his third fight at heavyweight? Defending it successfully on his fourth fight at heavy? Pretty much retiring Valuev and Ruiz, something fans have wished for years? Yeah he should hang his head in shame. What a ****.

    I like Froch but he's ****ing delusional at times, which makes him quite funny.

    He needs a big performance against Kessler, cus tbh he has stunk in his last 2 fights. Even though I enjoyed the final round vs JT, he really needs to step it up big time now.


    I believe despite what some on here think Haye will fight a Klit, which will make most of these threads calling him a chicken very much nul and void.

    Nothing wrong with him technically.

    He's just slow.

    He's not an ugly fighter by an means. Doesn't clinch, not that rough, works behind a jab. His fights with Pascal and Taylor were brilliant.

    Love the guy but believe me, he lacks technical ability... The problems he had against Dirrell it wasn't just because he's slow, he lacked the skill to make that spoiler pay. But against normal boxers he really makes it an attraction.

    Easy there Girlie !:nono Im a huge Haye fan and i approved of all his **** talking at the time , i even applauded his win over Valuev , but the fact is he's painted himself into a corner with all his talk because Wlad has once again offered him the fight. if he doesnt take it then yes he is a **** !

    Haye gets **** for not doing what he said he was going to do at heavyweight...at the very least, he doesn't fight often enough....however, he is a charismatic character who brings some excitement with his gift of gab

    Froch on the other hand thinks his **** talking is just as witty, but he's just a big douche

    i'm not rooting for Froch against Kessler, but i agree with what your saying about him

    Haye isn't a chicken, he's a fighter, but i think he and booth want the path of least resistance

    this. froch just gets hated on because he thinks he's god's gift to boxing, but he's just not that good of a boxer. exciting, yes, but he's just not that good.

    haye just seems to get more ******ed day by day. wlad calls him out, which should be a dream come true after he and vitali said they would never fight him after he pulled out of both fights. Now he says that they should fight eachother first so he can just fight one of them to unify the belts. what a ****in joke.

    Haye hasnt even replied to Wlad yet, his trainer said as a joke they should fight each other when he was on SSN yesterday. He also said he had begun talks few days ago but Wlad got impatient.
     
  15. Don't be pedantic, cloggy. Yes, he won a world heavyweight title. Is the WBA a European belt? Does the W stand for Europe?

    Fair enough. I think he's doing exactly what he mouthed off about doing. In fact I think he's gone above and beyond. He has a heavyweight belt now. Something he wouldn't have had if he went straight in with the Klits. Which makes the future match up even more meaningful.

    He will fight Wlad and Vitali like he says he will, it just hasn't happened yet. I also think his overbearing desire to fight the Klits worked against him. He lost negotiating leverage when he made it clear how much he wanted to fight the Klits. Now he has the WBA strap it's a level playing field come negotiations.
