    Kessler, because none of them can offer enough to take him out of there.

    Bute relies on his reach advantage and fast hands to pick off opponents, he keeps his lead far too low and isn't a master at avoiding the jab like Calzaghe.

    Froch isn't good enough as a boxer to stay in there long enough to find the end shot on Kessler, Kessler will pick him apart all night in my view.

    Balzsay would lose to them all.

    The problem with Bute fans is that all of them see his fast hands and a swarming style and believe that he's Calzaghe with youth on his side and more power in his hands.

    Calzaghe had the ability to adapt and correct his mistakes mid fight, Bute hasn't corrected issues I've seen in him since well before the Bika fight.

    Kessler is a little under rated for his movement, distance control and handspeed. I arguably thought he took Calzaghe closer than Hopkins did, Hopkins was just a little better with subterfuge to make the fight look closer than it actually was.

    That's looking a good prediction.

    I think it is a toss up between Kessler, Froch and Bute.

    Bute has never met anyone, so all opinions about Bute is just guess work. But he does look good against second tier. But then again so did Kessler (never lost a SINGLE round until he fought the Ring top 3 fighters) and Froch (KOing opponents left right and center).

    Kessler is by far the most experienced of the group and has been in the ring with a much different level of opposition that the rest (certainly Bute, not so much Froch). Kessler also has never lost to any of the other two.

    Froch is a tough nut to crack for anyone. Only loss is to the absolute top in Kessler and only lost by a couple of rounds. Froch can never be counted out and I think he has just as much chance as Kessler and Bute to win this.

    However, someone not in the poll is the favorite to win it... Ward.

    The only thing more annoying than people who make polls without end dates are people who bump polls without end dates.

    Kessler or Bute! If Joe Calzaghe was still around Calzaghe would.

    Kessler with his explosiveness would rule he if has a little younger and not so cut over his eyes..
