Kessler - he has much higher workrate than AA, and is pinpoint in what he does. But these two guys are the best in the tourney - and by good margin.
after both Froch and aa won , it really makes it easier now to choose one of them , which wouldn't have surprised me even before. given the manner of their victories , i chose aa.
I favor Abraham over Kessler. I can't really explain why. Only thing I can say is that I honestly think that you can't compare any fighter Kessler ever met in the ring as a professional to Abraham. Abraham might be able to hurt Kessler or even KO him. On the other hand Kessler has a decent jab, a nice hook, is more active and has a lot of experience, but I don't think he is a real danger to Abraham. Kessler may win a decision, but I think that even Kessler can't handle AA's power and iron will. It will be a massive battle. To take away Arthur's "0" will be no walk in the park. Calzaghe was good and would probably school Abraham, but Kessler is not Calzaghe. Kessler lost against Calzaghe, he won against Mundine and Andrade, but both are not on AA's level.
I assume Kessler will be the first one to outbox AA without kissing the canvas in the process. Kessler is tough enough to soak up a few bombs, and a well-rounded fighter, with a big workrate. Kessler on points vs. AA, but only 6 of 10 fights. Other 4 are (T)KO by AA.
