As reported by ESPN.com's Dan Rafael, Showtime will host a six man super middleweight tournament (168 lbs). The fighters are as follows:
Mikkel Kessler
Carl Froch
Jermain Taylor
Andre Dirrell
Andre Ward
Arthur Abraham
As the current champ, I like Froch in this tournament. Kessler gave Calzaghe a good fight, but hasn't shown much since. Taylor lost a recent heartbreaker to Froch in the final seconds of the final round. Olympians Ward and Dirrell may be overmatched. The unknown to me is how ex-middleweight titlist Abraham performs.
More to follow as details allow.
