The proposed 168 pound round robin tourney

[dstew]

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!

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.

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

Neither has Kessler.

[BetterCallSaul]

AA is joint leading the poll, having never faced a top opponent, and looking distinctly average in his last few fights. LOL.

[MANGLER]

Neither has Kessler.

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.

[Derranged_]

Can someone enlighten me on what "round robin" means? I've never heard of the phrase up until now...

[oojaksoo]

I think Kessler will win.

[KESSLER]

Kessler! if he dosen't win it's Abraham.

[TredKiller]

idk why, but im picking ward,
ive always been a fan.

WAR WARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BattlingNelson]

Kessler has to favoured here.

[TRAVI$]

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.

Totally agreed

Taylor is technically the best boxer at SMW by far, he does struggle with power though, so it would be a tough task

Kessler the best overall fighter at 168

Abraham a slugger with solid defense and excellent power, would struggle with Kessler

Froch is not the best boxer but has a solid chin, good power and excellent stamina

Ward could get an upset against Froch IMO

My head says Kessler, but aside from Dirrell & Ward, I wouldn't be suprised if any of the others pulled it off
