You are not going to beat Jermain, mark my words.

JT will be able to compete with some of the other fighters like Froch, Dirrel and Ward. He will not be able to handle King Arthur or Mikkel Kessler, especially not King Arthur. He is the smartest and strongest of the group with great defenes by the way. JT may last 7-8rounds but that's about it. Abraham will make an early statement.

I think the tourney is taken by Kessler. But if AA proves he can fight equally as effective at 168 as he did at 160, he can win. I think he KO's Taylor.

Abraham is not coming close to winning this tournament. Believe that.

I think Abraham has a really good chance at winning this tournament. Believe that. If Abraham doesn't make it, Mikkel will be crowned the champ.

Kessler, yes, great chance. Abraham's style will be the reason he doesn't win IMO.

What style is that? Great defense? Or hitting harder than most? Or being patient and feeling out the opponent for a few rounds to get his timing down? I don't know, it sounds like the perfect style to win a tournament in which you will need to fight 5 times to be declared champion. An all-out brawler can win any 1 fight. But consistancy will be needed to win this tourney.

Being patient and filling out his opponent will hurt him. Do you honest think he's going to be able to fill out everyone and this tournament and KO them or beat them. No, he will have to be active. All that filling out may possible bite him in the ball. And that height does not help.

Kessler will win the tourney.

as for Abraham, he will be much stronger and fitter at SMW than he was at MW, and he could hit like a mule at MW as well.

Pavlik didn't want to face him, if Taylor can actually last 12 rounds then I fancy a UD victory, but if Abraham catches him clean its goodnight Vienna.
