Froch is favourite to win this tournament with British bookies William Hill

Carl Froch 7/4
Mikkel Kessler 11/4
Arthur Abraham 7/2
Jermain Taylor 5/1
Andre Ward 10/1
Andre Dirrell 14/1

Whether he wins or not (huge not IMO) that is a joke.

But if Froch wasn't british and Hills weren't taking tons of money off his fans and could give him a rwealistic price what would his odds be? I'd guess somewhere in between Abraham and Taylor.

I think Taylor has a chance against Abraham but not against anybody who can fight at a decent pace for ten rounds. In two fights now he's had Pavlik and Froch down early and didn't even try to finish them. He starts to slow down after a few rounds and really struggles to finish twelve. I think this problem will only get worse. Maybe Abraham is slow-paced enough for Taylor to outbox him but Abraham is a pretty decent boxer too. I'm going for Abraham in that fight.

I doubt they will take a ton of money on this, but yes Froch has been installed as the favourite because he's the Brit and naturally will attract the mug patriotic money, plus has drawn the outsider in the first bout.

I'd say he should have been third favourite looking at the draw.
