    Carl Froch Will Win The Super Six

    Anyone want to know why? I would say, because he impressed me with Jermaine Taylor. It was only his second fight in America and he said he was still getting used to adjusting that far away. I believe he could have ko'd Taylor even sooner if it were in England.

    That and he's one of my favorite fighters right now.

    Going to have to go with Kessler.

    But Kessler and Froch are the only proven world-class 168 pounders.

    The two younger Americans in Dirrell and Ward are in the real deep end for the first time: Miranda is an exciting fighter but not worldclass.

    Taylor probably should have beat Froch but he didn't, ( I have a feeling he could be a finalist)

    Abraham, his first fights at 168, I can't see how his large periods of complete inactivity against bigger and stronger men than he is used to fighting him is going to help him. I make him a big outsider even if he could knockout a hippo.

      Froch is the weakest link. He may win his first fight, but he could not defend himself if his life depended on it.

        If Froch and Taylor fight again (they may very well do so) I don't care where in the world it is. Taylor is far superior and 14 seconds cost him the fight. Ever heard of a fluke?

          froch is too ****in slow... kessler might win it because he's the biggest dude imho... but one of the speedsters might take it as well.

            Can't call it a fluke, Taylor gasses at the end of almost every fight. Froch was just the only one that was able to get him out of there. Hopkins had em' almost KO'd the first fight, just wasn't enough time left.

              I'm going with Taylor to win this whole tourney. He's one of the more experienced ones, and he's been working on his conditioning more and more. I think we all can agree that if he could finish fights better, he'd be undefeated at this point.

                I think Kessler wins it.

                  Kessler is the favorite. I think Abraham and Ward could be there in the end with him.

                    Good to see somebody else who appreciates Taylor, thank you. Sure his stamina is a problem but to me his biggest problem is not going right after guys that are hurt ALA Pavlik. Pavlik should not have made it past round 2 in their first fight.
