    I have Kessler as a favorite, but wonder how the break and lawsuit from team palle have effekted him.

    And I was sure he would bet the crap out of Calzaghe, but was way wrong on that one

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

    I'm going for Abraham. I wouldn't mind seeing Abraham vs Froch in the final, or maybe Abraham Vs Kessler.

    Kessler pretty comfortably

    Id like to see Froch win for Britain but if I had to pick a second favourite it would be Abraham. At super middle he will be more effective and have more in the tank than he did at middle.

    There's no chance of this comp happening as planned, but anyway..

    Kessler is the obvious favourite but i'll take a poke on Abraham. The step up in weight might help him, he has the power to do damage to some of these, starting with Taylor.

    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.

    Kessler would be up there,but i'd go with Froch,based on he is very versatile when he wants to be and has a great great chin!!

    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.

    Great vid Jan thanks!

    Personally, I reckon Kessler is the strongest of this bunch, though it is a very strong sextuplet. Kessler's straight down the middle style is going to cause trouble to everyone.

    Froch got slightly lucky stopping Taylor so late, I think they're both fairly even. There's a lot of variables in there, but it's certainly the sort of appetite-whetter this division's been crying out for.

    In the vid, Abraham looks to be the most reserved of the group, though that may be as he speaks the least English. Really looking forward to this one, might trip up to Nottingham for Froch's first.

    I'll be the biased American and say I like Andre Ward.

    I liked the way he took apart Edison Miranda. I don't like that he has to face Kessler in the first round, but hopefully it is in Oakland.

    Froch could knock Dirrell out cold.

    AA isn't a bad pick either, but he is an unproven commodity at 168. Will his power translate? JT over AA in an upset isn't a bad call because as someone mentioned AA takes rounds off and JT can't keep up a fast pace for 12 rounds.
