    He can but he's not assertive at all really. I'm not really impressed. He's got 2 motions, defense and offense. Taylor could've won that fight he tried but things didn't work out. If he's the best of the tourny I'm not impressed by the depth or quality to be frank. He's good, though. Just didn't impress me that much.

    Kessler can, in fact I think he's the only one that can beat him.

    Taylor almost did it... maybe the most vulnerable one in the super six...

    Abraham constantly proves he carries power all the way to the 12th. A slickster with stamina and speed can actually beat Abraham or give him a tough/close fight. Ward and Kessler would be very difficult opponents for him like he would be for them so this tournament is awesome.

    Of course some British fans here would argue about Froch being a slickster as good as Sugar Ray Leonard, wait till you see him fight Abraham. Quote me on this, Froch is going to be taken out on a stretcher whether it's in England, Germany or the Bermuda triangle.

    Dirrell is a pretty good runner. As long as AA is not faster i like Dirrell chances.

    Miranda?, are you ******ed?

    The Miranda fight Abraham had a broken jaw from round 4 onwards and in round 8 it was Miranda who looked like he was set to be KO'd but Abraham was losing too much blood to keep things up all the way. The man was bleeding like he was literally vomiting blood all the way to the 12th and still pulled it off. You must be some dumb**** mentioning that fight as a proper "went the distance", Miranda was going to get knocked the **** out if it wasn't for his cheating tactics and broken jaw Abraham suffered.

    Speaking on the rest, fighters tend to prepare different for different opponents. Have you seen those other fights?, do you know what styles these guys had?, doubtful. If you did you would know that their styles had a lot to do with it. That's why I also think Kessler and Ward have a great chance to go the distance with him based on their styles. Froch though is getting KO'd and early based on his style as well.

    Miranda? I thought he got knocked through the backdoor of the gym on his back? And Kofi Jantuah doesn't count, as he may be the greatest fighter of all time.

    Yet I would bet that Dirrell goes the distance with AA but doesn't win.

    It's all about styles. Noobs here think it's all about hype and popularity.
