Rank the 'Super Six' guys in order

I would put Abraham fifth. He'd KO Taylor, and he could KO Froch and Ward, but do you guys really think he could beat anyone else with the style? Dirrell may win a really wide decision. Abraham is never going to hit him with his five punches a round. Dirrell will throw at his guard and then pretty much turn his back, sprint away, and take the round because he came closer to landing something. With Abraham's style Dirrell might not get hit all night.
Kessler will outwork him and honestly I think Froch and Ward would too, though they are hittable and he could knock them out since his pop is real. Abraham's flaws are stylistic, not physical, but if he doesn't increase his punch out put and stop giving away rounds then he is going to lose multiple decisions in this tournament. Even the random bums he fights now win a bunch of rounds against him.Comment

Fighters always fight to the level of opposition. I look at the Miranda re-match as a yard stick on AA.Comment

It's a tough one to call.
I don't know Ward and Dirrell besides from what I could find on youtube.
Besides that, I can find possible weakness in everyone off them.
1: Kessler. (But I'm waiting to see what 2 years without strong opposition has done to him. Good fighters have faded in less time)
2: Abraham. (Tight defense, Damn good counter boxer, but he does slow down, and his style depends upon a power advantage he might leave behind in mw)
3: Froch. (You have to rate him high, he has proven to be tough to beat, even if he is likely to loose a lot of rounds, he a major hazard especially to the newcomers - But he's only ahead of Taylor by some 14 seconds)
4: Taylor (Came close to beating Froch the last time, has a fair chance against Abraham and i question Ward and Dirrells 12 stamina just a much as Taylors)
5: Ward (Based on the limited info I've got. He had some preperation for the tourney in the 12 round Miranda fight, but looked tired towards the end. I think the step up will be to fast for him. Like his style, and I wouldn’t mind eating my words)
6: Dirrell (Same as for Ward, except he hasn't been in a hard 12 rounder.)Comment
