    Kessler, Abraham, and Ward have the best chance imo.

    At first I was all for Kessler. But what scares me the most about him is, his level of competition has been steadily (and rapidly) declining since losing to Calzaghe. Ward on the other hand, has steadily improved his level of comp...all while looking better and more complete with each consecutive opponent.

    Taylor could be a suprise here. Kessler might also dissapoint becuase of inactivity and underwhelming opposition. I think anybody can win this, nobody is a sure bet, that's what makes it so great. That being said I pick Ward.

    Hard to say. Two years ago Kessler by a mile but no one knows if he's still got it. Then there is Abraham where no one really knows how well will be at SMW. Direll looks great on paper but throws away too many rounds and has never faced a serious opponent.
    Ward boxes well but can't punch very hard. Froch we have only seen against two good fighters and Taylor may or may not be past it.

    But I'll be conservative and say Kessler.
