    biggest puncher : Arthur Abraham. he has a very big KO ratio and i can only see it getting better as he moves up.
    best boxer : Mikell Kessler. At times he outboxed Calzaghe, something i don't see any of the other super 6 doing!
    best chin: I'll go for Kessler again.... even though he's not had a big puncher hit him, i can see his chin holding up better than anyone else's.
    Most exciting : Carl Froch. I can't see any one of his fights being boring, unlike the others.
    Dark Horse: Jermain Taylor. You don't beat Bernard Hopkins twice for nothing....... Stamina will be a key factor!
    The outsiders : In my opinion there are 3 rank outsiders...... the unproven world champ Carl Froch, and the unproven youngsters Dirrel and Ward. After this tournament, win or lose, Ward and Dirrel can come again!



    MY PREDICTION!? Mikkel Kessler..................... but this strange feeling about Jermain Taylor still lurks around me!!!!


    THANK YOU ESB!!

    Abraham should win unless he fights Kessler then he may have some issues there.

    agree with everything you said in this first post. Even about Jermain.

    Jermain is pretty fast, he has power & physically, few boxers (if any) can match him in that department. But his Ring-Intelligence isn't the best & stamina is suspect in the later rounds.

    imo
    Favourite: Kessler
    2nd Fav: Arthur Abraham
    Dark Horse: Taylor

    some crackin' fight to be seen, especially the fights involving the named 3 + also Froch.

    Can't see Froch winning this or even making the final.

    oh & i think the Kessler-Abraham final (if the brackets work out this way) will be crackin'!
    FoTY contender.

    also, I think Abraham has the best chin. (this is the one thing of which I have a diff. opinion to you, in your first post).

    AA got good ko ratio bc he have been fighting bums. kessler or dirrell probably got the best punch. AA got a good chin as well as froch. ward and kessler got the skills, dirrell got skill and speed but lacks proven chin.

    I really cant rate these guys one to 6 to be honest, its very close. My money is on Kessler to win, although i will be rooting for Froch and Taylor Most. I like all of these fighters though, i cant wait.

    AA needs to get his work rate up he is fighting a different level of fighter now he can't be lazy now.

    If Taylor got his stamina in check i put him behind Kessler then Froch or Ward in 3rd or 4th

    biggest puncher : Arthur Abraham
    best boxer : Dirrell or Ward
    best chin: Abraham
    most exciting: Froch
    dark horse: Taylor

    Prediction:

    Abraham vs Ward or Abraham vs Dirrell in the finals. Who is gonna win....more likely the boxers, but Abraham still has a punches chance against either

    biggest puncher : Arthur Abraham for sure.
    best boxer : Mikkel Kessler. Technically as perfect as it gets and he can throw any punch.
    best chin: Abraham - he was hit so hard his chin broke and not a small fracture either - and he didn't even take a knee. Froch however also has a really good chin. It must be between these two for sure.
    Most exciting : Carl Froch. I can't see any one of his fights being boring, unlike the others. I have Direll here too.
    Most experienced: Jermain Taylor and Kessler.
    Fastest: Andre Direll. Followed by Andre Ward and Taylor.
    Size and overall raw power: Carl Froch for sure.
    Stamina: Carl Froch, followed by Kessler.
    Reflexes and fluidity: Direll and Taylor. Ward when he wants to.

    I prediction is Kessler and Taylor are gonna step up and one of these two will become the big dog of the division, possibly Taylors second reign, but if I had to bet I'm going with Kessler, and then when there is a winner could there be a hopkins matchup or even more of a wildcard could are old favorite "THE SLAPPER" come out of retirement to show his dominance! lol u never know!

    I might be in the minority but i dont consider Taylor a darkhorse.

    I think he is very very talented and fell thirty seconds short of going into this tourney as the second favourite.

    I know he has been beaten by Froch - I dont think that happens again.

    I know Froch currently has a belt. I just cant see him keeping it at the end of this tourney.
