Im pretty excited about the turnament and hope we will see the idea spreed to other weight divisions

I Think he is out. That german promoter bought him out of his old contract. That is what showtime was waiting for, before announcing the tournament.

It is hard to pick against Kessler. However, I think the two Andre's are unknown quantities.

The only think I am sure of is that Taylor and Froch will probably do the worst. But who knows, I am just glad they are doing this. Good job showtime.

Hard to choose, either Kessler, AA or Bute

Dirrell's the one guy that could turn things upside down although maybe I'm not giving Ward enough credit. Then again I could see Froch KO Dirrell.

I'm giving serious consideration to JT over AA. As crazy as it sounds. JT loves a slow pace and unless AA was just bothered by the weight then he'll cooperate with that. Either way it should be a good fight IMO.
