    Yeah thats what I was thinking about Losfer too. Froch is the lesser 'boxer' so his will be a proper achievement :)

    Imagine how good it'd be if both pulled it off :good

    If froch is able to win the super 6 with his obviously lacking skillset i will give him huge props. It would be a huge testament to his dedication and determination to be the best.

    That's a hard pick. I edge towards Froch

    Froch if he wins the super 6 he will be one of the greatest British Supermiddleweights.

    I think it would be tough to split them.

    Haye will have beaten bigger guys, but Valuev isn't all that, Wlad has chin issues and Vitali is old, albeit his worst nightmare stylewise.

    Froch will have to overcome a series of hard fights, against opponents that aren't exactly made for him.

    But I guess that is why we all like Froch, because he will fight anyone.

    Personally I think Wlad and Vit are better fighters than anyone in the Super Six. Valuev is also very awkward; looking at the bigger picture too, coming up from cruiser etc, I would say Haye.

    I think Froch has possibly less chance of achieving his goal though, a lot of that is due to his skills and the way he turns every fight into a last stand (you can't do that time and time again). Therefore in one way it would be a bigger achievent for him to do it.

    So, imo, it's perhaps a bigger achievement that Froch does it, but overall I think Haye doing it would leave a far greater long term legacy.

    I think Haye doing this would be more of an achievement. He's moving up to go up against fighters significantly bigger then him, Wlad's barely lost a round for years and Vitali is a beast.

    Ward and Dirrell are untested, Taylor he's already been beaten, Abraham's moving up in weight. Kessler not sure about. I'm not trying to downplay what an achievement Froch would have if he could win the overall tournament but Haye would edge it.

    Froch winning this would surpass Calzaghe's achievements though.

    I would pick Haye.........crusierweight champ becoming the Unified undisputed HW champ...all with a supposed glass jaw....no brainer for me. :good

    Of course both would be remarkable and legendary feats for a Brit Fighter, hence, why they both won't come true
