    What are his bad habits? As far as Ward fading, he does not tire, so we'll have to agree to disagree.

    I think ward would have beat Froch easily. Now Direll gets sloppy at times and seems to tire, that is why I think Froch will tko him down the strech. I like the chances of Ward against Kessler. Hard to call though. The super six tournament is a great idea. Oh yeah, Taylor beats Abraham easily I should add... Unless he gasses out.

    Overall, the tourney is a good thing. But I have made this point before. Saurland set this up before we knew Kessler was in his stable. Add Abraham and he now has two guys in. I think Kessler, and probably Abraham beat Froch. Now we need some US money. Pick up Taylor for the name and Showtime exposure and add two 'prospects'. None of the US guys seem to be odds on favorites to KO either Saruland fighter. Remember the one point KO bonus?

    In short, I think Saurland expects his guys to beat the prospects. Will they prove him wrong? I don't think so with Kessler. Abraham is another story. Both box well enough to avoid 'the big one'.

    The one i can't wait to see is Dirrell vs Froch, everyone knows Carl's limitations and Andre just seems to have the perfect tools to get the job done, Froch won't have seen the speed that Andre has before and when you hear the rumours about Dirrell apparently schooling Chad Dawson to the point where Floyd Sr had to step in and stop the sparring session then it really does enhance the excitement, i see the Dirrell fight a little like the first Ali vs Liston fight, one young gun with all the speed, movement, skills, swagger etc against a big hitting slugger with much more experience, has Dirrell got the mental strength to come through the storms that will no doubt arrive somewhere in the fight? i hope so because he could be a superstar if he fulfills his potential.

    As for Ward, i think he'll shock a lot of people against Kessler, i don't think the kid has any clear weaknesses and he picks his shots very well, i also think his home advantage will help him a lot too, these young guys are certainly hungry and i think people who are writing them off already will get more than one shock along the way imo.

    Hard to buy the rest of the argument when you dismiss Taylor's speed so out of hand.

    I think Dirrell is focused and training the right way........I expect him to make Froch look like an amatuer!

    Yeah because Dirrell's speed and Taylor's speed are "one and the same" aren't they? :patsch.

    Ward is a 10-1 underdog to win the whole thing. Because of this, I will be taking a trip next weekend and am putting at LEAST $2,000 on him to win it.

    Are you saying Dirrell is so much faster than Taylor that Taylor's against Froch doesn't count?:patsch Froch has seen some of the best hand speed in boxing from Taylor.

    Do you give them less of a chance than your pal Abraham? They're my bottom three in the tournament.

    I think AA is in over his head as well, but I've picked on Arthur enough the last few days.
