    Kessler will easily beat Ward. Speed? Movement? Experience? Power? Do you really judge a fight based on criteria?

    Taylor have speed, movement, experience and power. Froch only had Power, but it was enough, he TKO Taylor. Kessler is simply too good for this competition. I dont think he will lose more than 4-5 rounds in the 3 fight combine.

    I dont think you guys understand how good Kessler is right now.

    FAIL

    I pick both Pacquiao and Mayweather to beat Hatton :deal!

    Ward wont win a round, simple as that, quote me, ban me if im wrong, Ward will NOT win a round.

    Kessler is the favourite to win the tournament, and Ward is the underdog of all six! Its a no brainer! I understand some fans (americans) are getting tired of listen about how good Kessler is when they dont know much about him, fair enough! But to pick Ward as a winner is a bit biased imo! I would def. favor Taylor and Dirells chances better of beating Kessler than Wards!

    Tough to go against the Son of God, but Kessler is a tough SOB, IDK this one is going to be tough to say. I would go with Ward, but if I were betting on this fight I would go with the underdog because both of these fighters have a shot at winning. I could see a rematch without a doubt.

    I think when the first fights are done, we have a much better overview about who will go far and who wont!

    Um......pretty certain kessler DID drop Andrade at some point.

    Calzaghe was just more stable at 168, it isn't a discredit to Kesslers power that he couldn't drop Joe.

    To the others; Kessler doesn't seem to like it to the body-Abraham and Frochy take note :deal

    i think Kesslers superior fire power gives him a big advantage so im picking Kessler.

    Kessler had a serious problem with his right hand in the Calzaghe fight. He had surgery immediately afterward.

    As long as Kessler keeps his distance this is going to be pretty one sided in favor of Kessler. If Ward was grabbing MIRANDA of ALL boxers he is going to do the same to Kessler. Kessler needs to do what he does best, jab straight right, he wins this rather easily if you ask me. Ward had speed on him and that is pretty much his advantage.
    Kessler has more power, a better jab, fights tall if he wants too, both have good footwork, maybe ward a little better due to his athleticism. I have kessler in a one sided UD.

    Jab and right hand isnt going to beat Ward...Ward is a better PURE boxer then Kessler, you dont go into a fight with a better pure boxer with the plan of outboxing him. Miranda is a mauler and Ward at times tied him up on the inside, but most of the times he just beat Miranda up on the inside and that outside.

    It's 50/50, Ward could give Kessler all kinds of hell.

    I hope Kessler turns up 100% and proves me wrong.

    Two best fighters in the tournament. I think Kessler wins but Ward could pose some probems.

    Kessler by 5 points
