Well I'm certain he will be able to make him miss wildly and look amateurish, but the question is whether he can do enough offensively himself to score enough points to beat him.

Taylor had the speed and skills to make him look ragged but overdid it and got ko'd.

Dirrell had the speed and skills to make him look ragged but ran too much and didn't engage enough to get the decision.

Ward will have to be in the middle....

I half agree with you, but not so sure that your giving Ward due credit here. It wasn't simply the gameplans of Taylor and Dirrell(I actually thought Andre won the fight clearly) that cost them the wins. I think Andre Ward is a better boxer than either of them at this point, Froch has me basically writing him off after that fight tonight. I am fairly confident Ward would beat him, but it's pointless to speculate at this point as he still has to get by Kessler(who would EASILY beat Froch imo.) Either way, Carl isn't winning this thing for me, he didn't deserve the decision tonight.
