I have emailed Kessler a few times and he always gets back actually.

Pardon my ignorance GOmez but are you a part of team Froch or something? You seem to know a lot about him and his next moves.

Abraham mostly wins because he has a chin and punch like Froch. Not seen Direll but Kessler would beat Froch and Abraham.

Abraham is very accurate and, imo, punches harder than Froch. His defence, which consists of shelling up, is generally brilliant.

Very, very cool. All seem pretty relaxed. Arthur seems quite inhibited. Kessler and Dirrell look like they have a great laugh outside of boxing. Very nice to see them all happy together. The calm before the storm.
I really can't wait for these fights. This is such a good thing for boxing. Kudos to all of them. They've shown balls to sign up to this.

The winner will be either Ward or Abraham with Dirrell and Kessler pushing it very very close!!
I just can't split Ward & Abraham..
I can't believe this is happening I really can't!! I really do hope Froch does it cos it'll be amazing for British boxing it really will!! I'll screaming at the TV for him..Froch I would say may have the biggest power of them ALL but I just feel the others especially Ward have that special factor to them!! The way they box an the things they do.. No matter what though you cannot write off Froch's chance cos he has that equaliser..
GOOD LUCK & COMMON CARL FROCH!!

Based on what? He hasn't beat that many great or even good fighters but he is good thats what makes it very intriguing.
I've seen enough of both to make a judgment. I honestly believe Kessler would expose Froch, and beat him handily.

To think we were all moaning about the state of the sport a couple of weeks ago.
This is a boxing dream. Its the best v the best like it used to be. Carl Lewis, Ben Johnson, Linford Christie, Leroy Burrell. Sort of

Great news for boxing, really looking forward to this event if it indeed comes off.
Abraham can get away with fighting in spurts against lesser opposition but will his power carry up a weight and to the hignhest class? Time will tell.
I'm not sold on Ward but Dirrell has speed and talent to burn so I'm hoping he can come in on good form and not stink the place out like he did against Curtis Stevens. He could be the dark horse of the tournament.
Kessler has been a bit inactive of late and we all know about Froch and Taylor's capabilities/limitations. This is going to be great!

I think Dirrell looks the weakest, put it's a pick'em between the rest.

You might be in for a surprise, Dirrell is a very good fighter when he's on.
Ward might be the dark horse too.
Both have skill and power in abundance.

Ward has skill. He's tricky, but he has little power. That was patently obvious against Miranda.

Don`t write off Jermain Taylor. He is the dark horse in this contest. Still has the skills to cause some damage.
