Froch is a bit overrated in my mind. He was losing a close fight with Taylor and JT also put Froch on his backside, and Taylor is a natural Middleweight and was never considered a big puncher. Froch is very funny and has massive heart, but I believe he lacks the skills to win this tourney.

Kessler is a solid pick. This is his natural weight and has established himself and his only loss is to the great Joe Calzaghe.

Abraham is kind of tricky, he doesn't have any flaws in his game and has only fought at 168 once (against Miranda) and he looked good. Tough to really say how he will do, but I think he will go far.

Ward is a good pick with his odds. Tough to go against the Son of God he has good skills and he is a natural SMW. He has fought some stiff competition on his way up so he is somewhat battle tested.

Dirrell is kind of a darkhorse. He is green, but he does have good skills that might take him far, but he will be going into deep deep waters for the first time in his career.

I don't see Taylor doing much in this tourney. He's been through his fare share of wars and he might be near shot now. That Froch loss must have taken a lot out of him and I can't see him getting pass the first round.
