    1. Ward.
    2. Pretty much. Im a bit higher on Abraham now than before, but id say thats more due to my criminally underrating his power.
    3. Ward.
    4. Froch.
    5. Kessler
    6. Taylor.
    7. Possibly by Bute if only to see Ward/Bute much sooner than otherwise possible
    8. Yes.
    9. ^

    1. Kessler
    2. No, sadly Kessler seems to have lost it. It wasn't that Ward was that good but Kessler was really disappointing.
    Hard to tell, there is no clear cut favourite for me now. AA can knock anybody out but if he doesn't, he could due to his laziness easily lose a decision, especially on foreign soil. Home advantage proved vital in the tournament in the first round and Ward has secured only home fights for himself at least in the group stage.
    3. see 2.
    4. Froch
    5. Kessler, if it was just an off night.
    6. Taylor for obvious reasons
    7. I also go with Bute for Taylor.
    8. Bute should be in it for obvious reasons
    9. Kessler, AA, Bute, Froch, Ward, maybe Andrade

    1.) Kessler
    2.) No - either he is over the hill or threw the fight. If he threw it we will find out. So now I go with my second choice of Abraham.
    3.) Abraham
    4.) Taylor or Kessler. See #2
    5.) Again see #2
    6.) Again see #2
    7.) None
    8.) Best 6 with Showtime contract. Bute proved that tonight. Also some others out there.
    9.) Wont know until 2012.

    Do you mean if Kessler goes on to win his next fight, he's clearly not shot and therefore threw the Ward fight? Anything to discredit Ward.:lol:

    1. Who was your pick to win from the start? Kessler
    2. After the first round do you fell the same? If your answer is no than who would you now pick to win? Do not feel the same I feel its Ward I felt whoever won that match would win the tournament though
    3. Which boxer who won in the first round has the best chance to win the tournment? Ward
    4. Which boxer who won in the first round has the least chance to win the turnment? Froch
    5. Which boxer who lost in the first round has the best chance to win the turnment? Kessler
    6. Which boxer who lost in the first round has the least chance to win the turnment? Sadly Taylor
    7. Should any boxer be replaced and by who? Sadly again Taylor had a real good career but I think it may be over for him I would want him to be replaced by Bute
    8. Going in were these the best six at 168 or the best six with Showtime contract? These were not the best six at the time but I cant complain over the competition
    9. If no to 8 than who are the best six at 168? I felt the best was Kessler, Froch, Bute, Ward, Taylor, and Abraham The time it was being talked about.

    Bute would knock Ward out cold, but Ward would never allow Bute to be involved in the tournament, plus Ward refused to fight in the tournament unless he got all his fights in his hometown!

    1, Kessler
    2. Ward beat the man, now he's the man.
    3. Ward
    4. Froch
    5. Kessler
    6. Taylor
    7. Ideally, Taylor should be replaced by Bute (and I'd have said that before last night)
    8. Not the very best 6 but they still did a great job putting it together.
    9. Bute was the one glaring omission. If he was in there instead of JT, it would be all good. He actually had a much better argument to be invlolved than the Andre's but they've already proved their worth.
