yep......its the only thing in boxing i find interesting any more. reminds me of hbo's unification of the heavyweights in the 80s that tyson ran through.

I'm thinking Abraham. After he kicked the shit out of Miranda in their second go around. Tough as nails, takes a good shot and can take you out. Kessler is my second choice, although he lost to Calzaghe, he was in the fight all the way. Durrell and Ward are the darkhorses. Froch can be outboxed as Taylor showed, but he has a heart of a lion and took Taylor out in the 12th. Gonna be a blast

that 12th rd knock out of taylor with seconds left in the fight was just awesome!
i use to love miranda but after pavlik kicked his ass he just has never recovered........of course taylor never really recovered from his beating by pavlik either.

Yeah I liked Miranda too. He can still take someone out with one punch, but he has lost his balls. He used to talk smack and back it up but now seems to be a shell. I think you're right. Pavlik took his soul and his heart.

i'm gonna go with ward.......he just seems to get better technically every fight........though his lack of knock out power is a problem.

Ward might be the best boxer of them all, I am not sure of his chin though. He has been dropped by tomato cans in the past. Against this group, he will need to be at his very best and then some
