    They could end up meeting in the semifinals in the super six, who do you favour and why?

    Right now I just don't know. There was a time when I thought Kessler would tear AA up with relative ease, because Arthur has no real answer to a good jab, and does not respond well to constant-intelligent pressure. Now, it looks to me like Kessler is not quite what he used to be. I'd have to take a "wait and see" attitude toward this fight.

    Kessler by comfortable decision When Arthur comes out of his shell itll heat up but I still think Kessler is good enough to stand up to him and win

    Hate to say it but Kessler is looking kind of old. His best days are behind him. Too bad, I like watching his fights.

    Abraham. Kessler is slipping and his win over Froch will go down as his last world class performance, I think.

    He should beat the mediocre Green even if he's a full notch down from before, but his legs and reflexes are going -- Abraham will stop him, probably on his feet.

    Kessler has faded and his best days are behind him. He will beat Green although. Id wait until after Froch vs Abraham until i would call Kessler vs Abraham.

    Based on their last fights, Kessler simply outworks Abraham.

    for me Kessler.

    the better all round technical boxer, good engine and a solid chin with a heart of a warrior.

    Even if Abraham starts coming on strong around round 9/10, Kessler will have far too many rounds in the bank to drop a decision.

    Plus Kessler has never been down as a pro or an amatuer.

    Kessler by UD for me.

    I agree with this. If Kessler was in his prime he would have beaten the **** outta Abraham though.
