Accoring to steve kim, the contestants will be
Boxrec #1 Carl Froch
Boxrec #3 Mikkel Kessler
Boxrec #5 Jermain Taylor
Boxrec #6 Andre Dirrell
Boxrec #8 Andre Ward
and also to be included will be boxrec #2 MW Arthur Abraham
I can not wait until the fall if this is true..I find it likely that the winner of Bute-Andrade will somehow make it in here as well...
If Abraham doesnt start a little quicker it may be a short night. If he lays on the ropes against Kessler hes going to sleep.
You're right,Abraham always gives away the first 3-4 rounds,still would be an exciting fight tho
I hope this is true! SMW is a stacked division, and if this goes down I think it could replace WW as THE division in boxing. I've always liked Taylor, but he does seem to have lost some steam, here's hoping we get some awesome fights out of this!
All the damn divisions should put on tourney's like this with the champs vs all the #1 contenders! Then there will truly be no question of who the best is in every weight class. Every tourney will have 8 competitors with WBC, IBF, WBA, WBO belts on the line. Sh1t would be awesome.
why is froch ranked higher than kessler??
Taylor was #2 when he got knocked out, Pascal was in the top 10 when he got UD'd and now he's a titlist one division up.
The last time Kessler actually beat a ranked contender was against Andrade in like early 07.
If it goes thru,i see Abraham and Kessler fighting in the end
If Abraham doesnt start a little quicker it may be a short night. If he lays on the ropes against Kessler hes going to sleep.
Mikkel Kessler is the best super middleweight in the world, he will win this tournament for sure.
what has he done to prove hes the best SMW in the world... Lose to Clazghe?? he aint done jack shit.. if he wins this tourny then u can make an argument.. but to come out and say hes the best is nonsense
Why is jermaine Taylor is? He aint winning shit.
Cause he'll make for an exciting fight at 168. It's his own skills versus his own stamina. Its a constant battle inside himself. We saw the drama that unfolded in his last fight.
Plus he was a razor edge away from sending Froch back to the shadows of Nottingham.
