Best is a terrible word. Be more specific.

I think that at the moment Froch is fighting at a higher level, but if Khan can correct some of his errors he will be a more capable fighter than Froch. So I'd say Khan is more talented, but he hasn't made the most of that yet, whereas Froch has. They are at different stages of their careers.

exactly...he spat out his dummy because Khan happened to say he was the Best boxer in this country.

Most Talented Boxer is Khan
Most accomplished boxer at this time is Froch
Most exciting Boxer...tough one as Haye, Froch and Khan can all be in exciting fights and boring ones too.

What do you mean by accomplished? Haye did unify at cruiser which is an accomplishment the other two haven't managed yet.

Froch. Easily the most accomplished as of now and it'll take a while (5/6 wins or good performances in top draw fights) for anybody to catch up with let alone surpass him.

Froch easily.

5-1 at world class with a seventh fight coming up - all against GENUINE world level campaigners too, plus KO wins over all his domestic contemporaries such as Magee, Reid and Dodson.

Can't do much better than that.

Khan kinda skirted around domestic level and has an embarrassing KO loss to a journeyman who was subsequently thrashed by Kevin Mitchell. Good wins over Kotelnik and Malignaggi, but neither of those are as good as any of the five Froch defeated.

If you are talking about achievements: It is David Haye.
If you are talking about opponents beat: It is Carl Froch.
If you are talking about boxing skills: It is Amir Kahn.

Furthermore, I believe that Amir Kahn will surpass both of his fellow compeitiors and achieve more in boxing by becomignan Undisputed Champion at Light Welterweight (or Welterweight) and holding titles in three different divisions (Light Middleweight).

Froch has the best CV by a fair distance.

Haye and Khan are more talented but not as exciting in my opinion.

Unfortunately I don't see any of them as elite level (I.e. As top 5 lb for lb). As much as I'd love to see Froch beat Ward and Haye beat one of the Klitschkos I can't see it happening and Khan will be dominated if he fights Mayweather.

I'd say beating five world class opponents trumps anything Haye has done, regardless of belts.... which in the grand scheme of things aren't really important anymore.

As for Khan being more skilled, again I don't think that's the case. He's not got a great punch armoury, his footwork is terrible. He wins fights on handspeed and heart alone.

Froch doesn't look all that pretty sometimes, but he's got the full set of punches, a solid chin and is harder to hit than appears to be the case.
