    In terms of all-round ability? Or who we think will perform the best/get the most wins etc?

    Proven experience, ability, resume, et. I tried to look at what these guys have actually done in their careers rather than my opinion of what they MIGHT do in the future.

    I saw this thread before. if we're going on paper, pre fights

    1. Kessler or Froch ... you could give the edge to Froch because he is undefeated, but on overall fighting ability leaning toward Kess slightly.

    2. whoever isn't #1 so Froch in this spot. He's 25-0 and coming off a last round knockout vs Taylor

    3. Taylor - has done more of his career work at Middle. but still maintains a solid record and faced top opposition. I think he'll lose to Abraham, but on paper Jermain might be over looked a bit (especially coming off a knockout loss his last fight). Hasn't really impressed me in earning his title shot in beating Lacy but for now he's #3.... wait till he loses vs Abraham.

    4. im putting Abraham. most of his career has been at Middleweight, true. but he's more tested and proven then the next 2 fighters. and on top of it has more fights. keep in mind he did overcome a broken jaw vs Miranda. Plus he defended a title, so he has that title experience.

    5. Ward + Dirrell .. both undefeated ... both Olympians .. one's 20-0 the other 18-0 I'll put Andre Ward at 5 simply because he's fought the better competition in Ravelo and Edison Miranda to name two.

    6. last but not least Dirrell. only last because he's the least proven. is undefeated at 18-0 but his opposition can be critiqued even though he has good wins over Hanshaw and Oganov to name two fighters.

    Based on my own criteria I had to switch Abraham and Ward. Sometimes the hater in me takes over the keyboard:yep
