    The real winner is probably Bute, who is getting a bye to the real final, without potentially ruining himself with five hard fights...

    He will be the clear frontrunner when he beats Green.

    Ward or Dirrell, i reckon Dirrell is a quality pure boxer, really really good and underrated also. Ward could go on to achieve greatness though.

    Nah, there are 4 fighters who are capable of win this. I don´t think Green or Froch can but the other four can I think.

    I wouldnt count Froch out, because for all his techincal limitations, he is not an easy issue for anybody.

    True but I can´t see him winning against Abraham. And if he doesn´t win that one he probably won´t get into the next round.

    Ward, unless he somehow gets robbed or ko'd in the semis/final or if Dirrell maybe has his number. Green should be an easy defense and is pretty much the whipping boy. Dirrell will be an interesting challenge for Ward, given Dirrell is faster and a better outside boxer. Dirrell should be undefeated himself but is shaky on the inside hence his diving tactics

    Froch and Kessler arent in the same class skill wise despite being game fighters. Abraham is a potential winner but plods too much but has the Tyszu style to time his shots. Green seems a level below the lot

    He just lost to a man who was shut out by Ward and deserved to lose to Dirrell. Abraham-Froch should be interesting, hoping Abraham does us a favour and KOs Carl Crotch out the tourny, although I'd like to see Kessler-Froch 2

    Okay i had Kessler winning by 2 points. His footwork is his biggest weakness for sure. Froch impressed me though, i thought he was woeful against Dirrell.

    I think Dirrell is pretty woeful himself. Bute is the best fighter around at those weights; the real winner, as TBooze said.

    Not so impressed with Dirrel, Green may be a problem for Ward, not counting out Froch or Abraham , its all a matter of styles and the pick of the draw...Kessler looked good vs Froch but the cut opened again, could be a issue. everyone should have a loss at this level, even Bute would be in with a different level of talent. Froch needs to tighten his defense Right now Ward looks like the favorite but he is only one fight in...the best will rise to another level, they all will be raising the bar...the competition will ruin them or make them all learn from there losses
