I'm rooting for Taylor.
He had Froch all but beaten if he hadn't gassed out and then get KTFO.
If Jermain can clear up his stamina issue, he could possibly out-box everyone.
But, on the other hand he's probably done at the elite level and will get KTFO again........
**** it, I'm sticking to my guns. WAR Taylor!!! :boxing:
Neither has Kessler.:rofl:
Not sayin Kessler's res is anything special. He's done it against softass comp, but he has shown he has skills and is legit there. Same as AA at 160 basically homey.
I had Kessler but thinking about it I gotta take Froch so take 1 vote away from Kessler's poll and mentally add it to Froch's.
Kessler is the more skilled fighter but is too rusty and Froch has a heart & fighting mentality that would make Rocky weep with Envy. Slow and plodding he may be in comparison to some but that heart....man thats crazy shit commitment the guy has!
I know you're a huge Froch fan but the only way he wins this tournament is by knocking everyone out. The only fighter I see him being able to possibly outpoint is AA due to his low workrate. Ward, Dirrell and Kessler can all beat Froch on the cards as long as they stay awake long enough to do so.
Froch winning is a longshot but if he does manage it, then it will mean we had a fun, action packed, KO-filled tournament.
I got AA. The only threat would be Kessler. After Waiting 2 years for Pavlik he deserves this.
Imagine the top 6 at Welterweight round robin.
Mosley
Williams
Cotto
Pacquiao
Berto/Clottey play in match

Kessler's the best overall fighter of the bunch, and should be the favorite.
But don't rule out Taylor if he can rededicate himself and get in phenomenal shape. He's the sleeper of the tourney.
Abraham... has he been with anyone as strong and skilled as Kessler or Taylor? I'm not quite sold on him, especially down the stretch.
Froch... I'm not sold on at all. Taylor gassed out, but before that he was picking Froch off and winning rounds fairly easily. Credit to Froch for a dramatic KO win, but Taylor refocused would win the rematch, I feel. Froch is strong, but I think Kessler and Taylor can beat him. Froch-Abraham is tough to pick. That'd be fun to watch.
