I think Abraham needs to be outworked to be defeated. That means a solid jab and some good footwork and of course a good chin. I think Kessler can do take a decision as AA isn't a workhorse. I also think that Jermain Taylor has a good shot and I think I'd favor Pavlik for a points win as well.
But any opponent who hopes for victory against King Arthur better keep the guard up! -
I think Arthurs shown incredible improvement over the past couple of years, Miranda admitted his punches were much harder then the last time they met. I think he'd be roughly as powerful at 160-168 if he conditions correctly. He has a very personal style I've not totally sussed yet. At the moment I just favour Pavlik against him, and slightly more so Kessler. But if he keeps improving at this rate, I think his tactical ability late on is going to surprise some opponents and fans. He knows what he's doing.Comment

This would be a Kessler decision, no problem. Kessler is an excellent boxer. His movement would totally negate Abraham's wait and see style because Kessler would be out of range most of the time that Abraham decided to uncoil and return fire. Likewise Kessler's excellent punch selection and accuracy would give Abraham problems even behind that tight guard.
Kessler would not only throw more but land more in this fight and I think he'd cruise to a decision in a similar way to his performance against Andrade, albeit without seriously hurting the tough chinned Abraham.Comment

Kessler by decision.
Kessler's reach and height advantage would help him a lot in this fight because it would allow him to establish his jab, Abraham isn't active enough to break Kessler's rhythm and take away his jab.Comment
