Froch got a pretty hard draw in round 2 and 3. Both fights are winnable, but they certainly won't be easy.Froch got a pretty hard draw in round 1 as well. Dirrell is leagues better skill-wise than Carl. But Froch has the one thing that Ward, Dirrell, Taylor and to a smaller extent Abraham don't; defined unmistakable heart. Abraham has been so much better than anyone he's fought he hasn't really been tested. Granted he suffered a broken jaw against Miranda and kept coming, but trully thats the only rough spot he's had in his entire career. Froch has been in wars and behind and came back to win and kept fighting. The greatest indicator of a fighter to me, is when they land their best shots on their opponents, and their opponents punch them in the face in return. It's how they respond from that adversity is how you gauge their inner strength, which so many times determines the success of a fighter. Froch WILL MAKE Dirrell realize if he's a fighter or not. But I think Carl Froch is the low man skill-wise in this entire tournament, and if the other guys have the same intestinal fortitude as he does (Taylor doesn't) then he is in trouble, but if they don't (Kessler does) if will do good. I see Kessler as the man winning it, but with Dirrell as the man who has the chance to surprise. Andre Ward, doesn't have the pop to win this thing. And Jermain Taylor doesn't have the stamina, heart, or chin to win it. I would've LOVED to see Librado Andrade in here or yes Lucian Bute. But imagine a Andrade/Froch fight. I mean c'mon who wouldn't be entertained by that?
Those 2 are the best fighters in the cometition not sure he has the defence to live with either.He may get stopped in both fights.
I would give him a very good chance with the others though.
ye kessler is more skilled,tough and its unlikely he will run out of steam,also he hits harder than taylor
abraham has a solid chin and brutal one punch power so froch better tighten his defence up
froch is in trouble in stage 2 and 3 imo

Stage 2:
Kessler v. Froch
Taylor v. Ward
Abraham v. Direll
Stage 3:
Kessler v. Taylor
Dirrell v. Ward
Abraham v. Froch
Cheers for the info.
Froch could be in a wee spot of bother in those fights.
Has that been made or just what you want to see?
I wasnt sure how they will work it my gut feeling is that the 3 euro's are fighting Americans on home soil the first round, so they will fight different Americans in America the next round.
If it works that way Froch, AA and Kessler wont meet at the early stages.
