Abraham because he's a tough fighter, wants to fight the best, and in my opinion is still a bit underrated by alot of the general boxing public. I like the other guys in the tournament but I think Arthur has the best shot at running the table and then dethroning either Pavlik or whoevers rated number 1 at 168 lbs after this tournament is over.
I pick Kessler to win it all but i want Taylor to win cause he is getting a big bad rap from mostly everyone. Taylor has never duck out any fighters.
I'd like to see Kessler win for the sake of the sport. He has all the makings of a star. Although, I don't see it.
I'm on board with JT. When he is done we can chage his name to Jermain "The Phoenix" Taylor, cuz he rose from the ashes and displayed super human abilites:bananamaniac
Clearly someone on this board has not studied abraham or kept up with the news. the myth is WAY bigger than the man.
I have followed his career and I think he is underrated. I didnt say he was a P4P best, or that he's unbeatable, but I do think he can beat Pavlik and has a chance at beating the current best at 168. Based on styles and tactics I give Taylor the best shot at beating Abraham, but I still want him to win he's a cool guy and is exciting to watch.
I hope Froch doesn't win. You shouldn't be able to win a tournament by following your opponent around the ring like Frankenstein's monster. I think Kessler will win this. Although if Taylor can get his act together he has a chance with his speed and skills. He is weak mentally AND physically, and he needs the do whatever he can to fix that. Speak to Joe Calzaghe.
