Go on the record and make your predictions now...Who's gonna win it all?
I'm taking Andre Ward...

i find it tough to predict.
froch is riding high at the moment but looks very vulnerable at the highest level, kessler i think is the class of the competition but his lack of top level activity gives me a major doubt as to his chances.
ive seen very little of ward or dirrell combined. im not sure if taylor has enough left to win a 18 month tough tournament,
so, ill predict Abraham to win the tournament.
i quite like the idea of the tournament, but im not a fan of having a league table with points and bonus points. i would prefer a straight draw for a quarter or semi final and the winners go through to fight each other.

I like Dirrell or Ward. Ward is the better schooled, but if Dirrell can add polish to his athletic ability I can see him going very far.

Mikkel Kessler (Arthur Abraham maybe)
That's the thing about the Americans, I don't know a lot about them
Ward has a suspect chin hasn't he? Froch has a poor defence Dirrell lacks the experience Taylor to be the dark horse Abraham isn't busy enough
Kessler is the most proven and all round fighter.

I think in a single-elimination tournament, guys like Kessler and Froch would do better, but over 18 months, speed will be the key. Froch is too flat-footed and was lucky that Taylor imploded....Kessler is robot-stiff and almost painfully orthodox...
If Ward and Dirrell can fight under pressure (and we really don't know that yet), I think they could very well be in the finals against one another...
Taylor has the ability to win it all, but it's hard to bet on someone who has proven to be a ball-dropper..
Abraham is talented and has a great attitude, but doesn't fit in well with the rest of the guys...Not fast enough, not strong enough, not busy enough...
The best part of this tournament is that all the fights should be competitive, so anything can happen...
