    AA KO's Froch if they fight. We have seen Froch knocked down and hurt by a punch while nobody has ever seen AA hurt. Edison Miranda punches harder than Froch and couldn't hurt AA. I think based on styles and Frochs lack of defensive skills he will be knocked out cold just like JT, the fight probably wont make it to 5 rounds. Dirrell might be able to outbox AA, and win a SD but if he makes one mistake he will be knocked out like JT. Ward is the one fighter who has the talent and the style to beat all of these fighters. I believe Ward is a level above and beyond all of these fighters and will win the tournament. I don't think AA can hit Ward clean to knock him out. I don't think Froch has the skill to outbox Ward. I don't think Dirrell has the defensive skill or technical ability to beat Ward over 12 rounds. And Ward already beat Kessler. JT has no chance at beating Ward, Ward is like a young Bhop.

    dude.... 0-7 is very very different to 3-4.

    Honestly I think Dirrell, Taylor and Froch will all win one of their 2-3 remaining fights.

    Dirrell could run all day from AA and get a decision in America - he wont even have to throw a punch.

    Froch could drag Kessler into a war and win a KO - you never know how Kessler will react to the lose against Ward and the new trainer.

    Taylor could..., well you've all seen Rocky, right?

    You'll get no argument from me on that one. I've said this so many times, and for so long, I need a "Ward is the one fighter who has the talent and the style to beat all of these fighters" button.

    Still not too far-fetched though.

    Funny analogy...about Taylor.

    i think froch will win at least one of his fights possibly both. dirrel could ud AA if he doesn't run all night. and taylor is still capable if he isn't completly finished of beating ward and/or kessler i think, although he won't be favourite in either fight.

    I take your points and you could be right just as easily as i could this is all based on opinions really.

    IMO Froch will see the slow AA coming all day long and will just edge a SD

    And i agree with you if AA clocks Dirrell its goodnight but at the same time if Froch couldn't get near him how will AA? Is AA really that much quicker hand speed than Froch? Doubtful.

    I must admit i have not seen a lot of Ward and i am only backing AA on experience so again you may be right the guy might just have the talent to win the whole thing

    I'm still sticking to my prediction for the whole thing its Froch or AA and my opinion is based on these two having the most experience and Kessler APPEARING to have been exposed.

    Peace:rasta

    Froch v. Kessler.......Kessler wide UD or mid-fight stoppage.
    AA v. Dirrell.............AA mid-rounds KO while behind on points
    Ward v. Taylor.........Taylor late TKO while even or close on points

    Froch V. AA.............Great fight, AA by late KO or close, maybe controversial decision
    Dirrell v. Ward..........Dirrell late round KO while behind
    Taylor v. Kessler.......Kessler UD or late stoppage

    Are you aware that Ward has the best stamina of all these fighters and can fight better down the stretch than all of these fighters? Were you predicting a late Kessler stoppage of Ward as well?

    It's not more likely to happen than not.

    Go to the bookies and ask what odds you can get on a multiple of none of these guys winning another fight. It will be much bigger than one of them getting a win or more.

    Froch has a great shout in both of his.

    As much as I can't stand him, Dirrell has a serious chance against the slow footed AA.

    And you know what, Taylor may just give Ward some problems!

    Absolutely no way does Ward have better stamina than Froch!

    I think that statement is so far off that it comes off as sarcasm.

    I thought you probably would but there you go.

    Froch fights at an unbelievable pace through every round of his fights.

    Have you ever seen him gas?

    Unbelievable pace?

    Rounds 9 to 12 of his fight with Dirrell he looked like he was wading through cement, and while his workrate had diminished a lot less than the majority of other fighters, his technique, accuracy and drive had notably dropped.

    Look at round 11 when he gets Dirrell in the corner, he just sticks his arms out and seems to have an epileptic fit in his waist, trying to tap him with his thumbs. Then whenever he gets clipped he can't seem to muster the energy to throw anything productive back.
