    I'm staggered that so many boxing fans have elevated Kessler to near mythical status considering his best opponents are nothing special, other than Calzaghe to whom he lost. Furthermore, Kessler seems to improve in fans eyes the LESS he actually fights. Quite bizarre to me.

    I'd be VERY surprised if Kessler wins this tourny

    My money is on Abraham, but Kessler and Ward should be the favorites. Taylor can't be written off also. He's awesome and only needs to make use of his boxing skills.

    Taller opponents are no problem for AA and the extra weight won't have any negative effects on his shape or punching power. It's vice versa - the extra weight will help him.

    Why didn't you make it public? All these Super 6 polls are private.

    I would love for Taylor to win (how I voted), but anybody was gonna bet on this before it even starts would have to favor Kessler, I'd say.

    First, these guys are not the 6 best SMW's in the world. There is aboslutely no reason to believe that Abraham, Ward, and Dirrell are better, or even as good as, Bute, Andrade, Pavlik, et. In fact, if you go on the basis of actual in-ring accomplishments, Abraham, Ward, and Dirrell are far less qualified to be in this than the other 3 I mentioned.

    As it stands I think Kessler has to be the favorite going in. However, if Jermain gets past Abraham, it means Pavlik and Froch did not ruin him, and if JT is not ruined, he's as good as anybody in the tourney. I'll be rooting for him!

    That makes me laugh. People like you. I picked Kessler (but in no way i'm am sure). Picking him to win doesn't mean "elevated Kessler to near mythical status". Thats so funny.
