    Ward has a great skillset but I'd still rate the Mundine that faced Kessler to be a better fighter than Ward at this stage.

    Out of the proposed fights.

    AA vs Jermain Taylor - AA by Late T/KO.
    Froch vs Dirrell - Either Dirrell by UD or Froch by late KO
    Kessler vs Ward - Kessler by Mid round T/KO
    AA vs Dirrell - Mid Round KO by AA.
    Kessler vs Froch - Late KO by MK
    Ward vs Taylor - close fight, Ward by UD.
    Dirrell vs Ward - I'd pick Ward
    Abraham vs Froch - Abraham KO.
    Kessler vs Taylor - Kessler by 12 round beat down

    Abraham vs Kessler in the final - Kessler by 12 round decision.

    AA is a power puncher with a solid defense. That's all you need against the guys in that tournament with the exception of Kessler.

    i agree with most of your prediction, only i'm not sure AA is gonna beat Jermain simply because Jermain may not gas against a guy putting no pressure on him. if Taylor can stick and move and avoid a big shot i have a feeling he could decision AA. i feel like its going to be either Taylor or AA vs. Kessler in the final and i feel Kessler decisions both (or KO's Taylor).

    AA will break Taylor down, even though AA isn't the most energetic of fighters, he's got the power, combination punching and ability to carry power late that will make Taylor a target.

    i agree. it's a tough one for me to pick. i'm leaning towards AA too. knocking out Taylor would be by far his greatest accomplishment.

    Ward is far more dangerous for Kessler than Froch and Abraham. Trust me.

    I see two gaping holes that will be exploited by Kessler vs Ward.

    Ward isn't good at defending against straight punchers, Kessler is a crisp straight puncher, with better speed in his hands and better defense. Ward generally wins by boxing on the outside but there is only one guy at 168 that can outbox Kessler from outside and that was JC.

    I just see it becoming very lopsided in about the mid rounds and then any punch from there could end it.

    AA vs Jermain Taylor - AA by SD
    Froch vs Dirrell - Dirrell by SD (Froch wont find him)
    Kessler vs Ward - Kessler by SD (Kessler will control him with the jab)
    AA vs Dirrell - Dirrell by UD (Abraham wont find him)
    Kessler vs Froch - Froch by SD
    Ward vs Taylor - Ward by SD (Taylor will slow down after 8)
    Dirrell vs Ward - Dirrell by SD (Too much speed for Ward)
    Abraham vs Froch - Froch KO
    Kessler vs Taylor - Kessler by SD
