Will be difficult to separate some of them...

It wouldn't. Haye by a mile. He has a massively distorted opinion of the publics perception of him.

Hands down Team Khan" thats not an instruction Amir" like he'd listen anyway.
What he lacks in chin he makes up for in self importance.

At least he has a go.

I voted for Froch; I really think he's in danger of regarding himself as the ultimate male; the international superstar remark hasn't helped and shows his mindset and he's utterly convinced Groves is being massively disrespectful by daring to question him.

With recent events (i.e Haye), I think you'll find the Poll may be a little slanted. While there is no question Haye has a massive ego, I plumped for Khan and Froch.

At least Haye realised he's not the best in his division. Khan and Froch, despite losing, still seem to think they're better than the people who beat them.

Amir khan.....tough poll though!

I voted for Hearn but I never seen Froch.. So it's now close. Froch will go down as a p4p all time great. Well in his head anyway

It's a toss up between Adam Booth and Amir Khan, honorable mention to Eddie and Froch though. It's a shame we could only vote for two DD

Could have done with more than two options. Haye is the worst, Froch is bad as is Hearn, DeGale seems to regard himself very highly and I'm not sure Khan is actually smart enough to have a big ego, his team do though.

Having a big ego helps in boxing surely

I voted other,Chris Eubank Jnr has a massive ego considering hes done nothing of note in the game...

Its a tough one for sure!

Bit harsh on Eddie being in there. Never really come across that way to me.

His perception is distorted/formed by what's fed back to him directly.

If you look at twitter, for example, he's got nearly a million followers - Four times the amount Froch has got. He's active on social media, he's on instragram, facebook, the lot. He's constantly on TV, he's constantly being asked by fans for photos wherever he tips up - He plays the game and knows how every single phone works so he can do with a selfie with the fan and so on.

It's not being fed back to him en masse that people think he's a pudendum. Haters gonna hate is how he views it.

Fair shout

Hands down James Degale, spends more time being a celebrity than a fighter.

Why is hatton even on that list?

Attempting to be a celebrity.

Froch for me, he's out of control with his tongue and often I find myself cringing when I see him interviewed now days.

Having confidence in yourself helps but if you start thinking you're better than you are and thus underestimate your opponent/s then that's going to be your downfall surely.

I generally don't mind him but he don't half blab on about being a warrior or a gladiator.

Anybody that gets better at anything has to think they are better than where they currently are.

What you think can stay inside your head though; if you shout the loudest about being incredible it's not long before people think you're a bell end. Those with quiet confidence are the real deal; I feel that those bigging themselves up are doing it out of insecurity and it seems a bit hollow.
