    I respect each guy differently, Froch is a warrior who is ready to fight anyone, anytime. Been in some entertaining fights and is efficiently a cunt. I see Haye as a hustler, using all his advantages to make as much money as possible. I don't think you'll find another fighter who has as many fights as him and has made as much dough as he has been doing.

    In a traditional sense, I respect Froch but Haye knows the reality of the game or rather Adam Booth realizes it and exploits it to the fullest.

    Froch get's too much praise for being a "warrior" when in reality he is just a very tough guy with decent boxing skills who makes good career choices, just like a lot of other fighters who don't get glorified for it half as much. So I respect Froch in so much that he get's in the ring against good opposition consistently and does the best he can.

    I do not appreciate or respect how he does not acknowledge his losses (he recently said with a straight face that he has only one loss and when it was pointed out that he lost to
    Kessler he explains that no that doesn't count as he beat Kessler in the rematch :lol:

    Now for Mr Haye, I respect his skillset and talent a lot more than Froch's but he get's a lot more criticism from me as he chooses not to walk the walk when he actually has most of the tools required to back up all the **** he talks if he would just ****ing use them by getting in the ring! As much as I disagree with how he behaves I have to begrudgingly respect how he set out to make millions with minimum effort and he's pulling it off.

    So it's 50-50 for me, I'm a fan of neither but can respect them both for different reasons.

    They are both arrogant as **** but Froch's arrogance seems forced like he doesn't truly believe it himself whereas Haye has that delusional arrogance, he actually believes every bit of his own hype.

    Froch by far.

    Froch embodies the warrior mentality. Yes his technique is sloppy, he's crude and relatively unathletic but you can't question his desire and self belief. He's always looked for the toughest opponents because he has never allowed the business side of boxing to solely determine his choice of opposition.

    Haye for all his natural talent is poor technically and he is clearly boxing only for the money, which has resulted him fighting only once per year. He does not embody what most fans want from a champion. He's all business yet still has been able to draw in the casual fans.
     
  7. Froch is Polish .. therefore, even though I don't respect Haye, I have to choose him ..

    It's not that i "respect" one better than the other but i really hope to see Froch gets stopped or knocked out before he retires. There's just something about him, the way he looks, talks etc that rubs me the wrong way.
