Who Is Most Likely To Get "Ruined" In The 168 Tournament?

edit

 

One of the rookies, Ward or Direll.

 

If anyone gets humiliated in the first round what's the chance of them pulling out for the second round.

 

Depends on the defintion of ruined. I think it's a step too far for Dirrell at this moment in time. He has an excellent skill set and fast hands but is totally unproven at this level. How will he react when Froch (and I only say Froch because he is facing him first) is bearing down on him in the Championship rounds? I don't believe Dirrell has the power to put Froch away, but we all know that Froch can throw a good shot and he can certainly take one. If Dirrell gets brutally KO'd at this stage in his career will he be able to muster the confidence to get back in the saddle?

 

Let's hope that doesn't happen.

 

I voted Froch. He's just too open to be hit. I thought his hand speed/accuracy against JT was pretty poor also (fair enough he wore him down in the end) but box him and tie him up when he comes forward and i can see many of these guys beating him by decision.

Taylor has already been beaten down, so he knows how to handle losing. So, it would be hard to "ruin" a him.
If anyone gets' ruined it will be one of the Andre's. I think it's Ward. He's got some good wind on his back, no losses, slightly babied; somewhere along the way he's going down and I'm not sure if he can bounce back. if the defeat is too crushing.

 

Arent Ward and Dirrell to green for this tourney?

 

Yes, but Dirrell more so IMO. Still good opportunity for both to shortcut to the top. Talk about jumping in at the deep end though!

 

Taylor's already damaged. I wonder how Ward/Dirrell will shape up with their, let's say, limited experience at boxing for 12 rounds....esp against good opposition ie world champs

 

Froch or Taylor, but I'm goin with Froch for the simple fact that he's the oldest guy and on top of that is the least talented of all of them.

 

I'm thinking AA is the most likely candidate. Both Taylor and Kessler could do him some serious harm as he can be a bit stationary(especially dangerous against Kessler). There's lots of possibilities however. Taylor could well be damaged goods allready and maybe one of rookies could implode.
Kessler is my favourite to win the tournament but curiously I think his first opponent Ward could be his toughest foe.
Can't ****ing wait for this to begin, hopefully they have some decent replacements on standby if anyone drops out.
