      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.

        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 **** commitment the guy has!

          Didn't see the other poll but probably should have just known someone would have made it by now. This can be deleted by the powers that be.

            I'd pick Arthur Abraham to win, but with Jermain Taylor as the dark horse of the tournament.

            I like this tournament idea. Force the best to fight the ****ing best. By now, everyone has to sick of these god damn horse**** mis-matches.

                It's hard to tell what Kessler is.

                I know he's mad overrated around here for some weird reason.

                His last opponent was a gypsy day-laborer they put gloves on 15 minutes before the fight.

                He could have fought Miranda instead.

                  AA or Kessler, but I'll say Kessler since AA ain't shown what he can do at 168 yet.

                    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
                    Mayweather Jr.
