To be honest i already cant wait for Froch vs AA. Neither can afford to sit back and start the fight too slowly
I picked Dirrell 'cause someone's 0 got to go XD. No but seriously, he is no match for Ward. If Dirrell tries to run Ward will get dirty on him, like he did with Kessler (but he fought an otherwise good fight dominating the Dane), and we all know what happens when fighters go dirty on Dirrell: 1) He was taken out of his gameplan and lost a decision 2) He won but got KTFO
I think Green is the logical choice in this poll. There have always been questions about Green because of the colon surgery. There has always been the possiblity that he lost to Miranda, and needed a gift against Linton, because of the health issues. After the tournament I don't think there will be any more questions.
taylor's ko AA was a blessing in disguise for him. he needed to rest and clear his mind from the sport. with that said, i think kessler's best days are over and don't see him in advancing. although i can't stand froch.
I'm concerned Abraham will decapitate him. I'm not knocking Froch but Abraham is a dangerous puncher and Froch is no Sweetpea.
Froch and Abraham. I'm a fan of Abe and want him or Dirrell to win but I don't see nothing special in the guy and think he's way over-rated. Froch has an unofficial loss against Dirrell and an actual loss aginst Kessler who Ward already beat. Abraham has already lost to Dirrell and Was being outboxed by Taylor in the early part of the fight. He's one dimensional himself. If Froch loses to Abe then that would be pretty bad for him and vice versa. Hope Abe wins. I became a fan of Dirrell and I think he's come off pretty well.
I think Froch will emerge the big loser because I expect AA to KO him, and then if Froch still makes the semifinals, to lose to whoever his opponent would be.
Well, since everybody thinks Green is ****, the tournament won't change a thing, will it? Even if he loses badly to Ward and Kessler, that won't change the idea we had of him and of his shoes. If Froch loses against Abraham, he will be the one coming from nearly the top to nearly the bottom of the super six and even of the top 10. One very close win and 2 defeats. Then, if Dirrell loses against Ward, Froch could be losing a third fight in a row in the tournament. Green can lose only twice.
kessler i think . kessler never really impressed me through the tourney. im pickin a big upset and i think green will beat him.
Froch is my pick. In a tournament like this anything is possible, all guys just good enough to make all look bad so it's unfair to count anyone out. I was silly to count Froch out completely and look at him as a fraud going in this tournament yet look how he gave Kessler hell, I pick him to come out looking the worse but that won't give him and only him that image. All are destined to look bad fighting one another, this tournament is just that competitive.

If anything, Froch has impressed me. After seeing how well Dirrel did against Abraham compared to Froch, his performance wasn't all that bad. And as you say, the Kessler fight was very close. Although stylistically this should have resulted in a win for Froch. But let's not forget that Kessler was the clear favorite of the tournament. Right now it's anyone's guess, which makes it such a great tourny.
