Froch>Dirrell
Kessler>Ward
Taylor>Abraham
But I'm not convinced about any of those picks, which is the beauty of the tourney.
I'm 100% in agreement with you there. A lot of people seem to think Taylor is in for a hard ride during this tournament especially considering he has Abraham and Kessler in the round robin. I think he'll outbox Abraham and hopefully win a decision in Germany but I think he might be on the end of another KO again Kessler but at least that will be the final fight of the round robin by then. I think the group may end:
1. Kessler
2. Froch
3. Ward
4. Taylor
5. Dirrell
6. Abraham

That's how I feel. I have my favourites, but anybody can win this tournament.
Dirrell and Ward are very talented and can shock the world. Kessler is a seasoned veteran, and the most experience along with Taylor. Froch has great power, and tremendous will and heart. Taylor has the skills to beat anybody, maybe just lacks self belief, and stamina. Abraham is a good fighter and does very little wrong.
I'm still a little disappointed of Kessler, not because he lost against Joe, but because he went into that fight with an injury. I think that's arrogant and disrespectful.
I hope he learned from that.
I'm not quite sure how to rate Abraham at SMW, he looked spectacular against Miranda. The increase of power was breathtaking and I think he is stylistically the worst fighter for Kessler.
Kessler for me but we have six quality fighters ready to go and it would not b a surprise to see any one of them win it. Ward and Dirrell in particular have a real chance to enhance their reputations.

exactly, thats what makes this so interesting,
dirrel has a real chance against froch becaz of speed,
Ward has great skills and can potentaily upset kessler,
and abrums could ko taylor if taylor gases or gets cought,
i cant wait for this.
I think Kessler would take it...but I'd like to see Jermain or Andre Ward win it.

Is it cos I is black? ;)
Arthur Abraham or Kessler. Maybe Taylor if he sorts the stamina and boxes his way to victory.
why do so many pick kessler? He's so far into his career & other than his fight with joe"I'm the shoe shiner of the decade"calzaghe he still fights tomato cans.
beyer,Lucas,andrade are good wins.I take it back.
