    I don't know if Abraham ever went down to 160 like he said he would, but he isn't really a big super middleweight anyway so the jump in weight shouldn't be used as an excuse

    Anyway, we got 2 big power punchers going at it

    I'm GGG will win most of the votes simply becuz he's still hot, while AA's flame got smothered by Froch

    But realistically, taking skill, style, physical ability, and mental tendencies, who wins?

    GGG uses the jab to outbox a tentative Abraham who shells up and doesn't open up nearly enough to get a sustained attack going to put GGG on the backfoot.

    GGG by wide decision.

    GGG vs. AA is not going to happen, because AA can't make the weight...

    Anyhow I would go with AA here, because GGG has not the reach of Carl Froch to keep AA at bay for the whole fight. I also would bet that AA can flatten GGG but vice versa it would be very very difficult. If Miranda, as bad as he is from a technical skills perspective, was not able to do it, GGG can't do it either.

    AA by KO in the later rounds

    How do you have GGG vs Wilczewski and Stieglitz?

    Lajuan Simon went the distance with Abraham and got KO'd in the first with Golovkin.Even though this type of comparison not accurate, but this tells me something.

    1. AA has no glass body
    2. Comparisons like X won against Y and that is why X would win against Z who did not win against Y are senseless...

    GGG would dominate Stieglitz and Wilczewski. AA at 160 was a different foe though.
    Simon went the distance because AA was crap that day. Let's say it that way - the Abraham who won against Taylor and Miranda would win against GGG...

    AA is a strong fighter. The styles would definitely give him a chance

    Triangle theories are not helpful, true. However AA unlike GG has very little craft, and seems to have left his power at 160, not that he's ever shown it against top level comp there either.

    I think Golovkin wins this but cant decide on whether he stops abraham or not , i think his jab would sicken abraham , i can possibly see golovkin having a hairy moment or two when Abraham starts throwing but i think golovkin is to smart to stand and trade with him.

    Id go golovkin by unanimous decision maybe late stoppage if golovkin can cut him open

    GG is the better boxer, Abraham is the better brawler, this one would be fun to watch

    it would be a great fight, but aa strenghts are:

    he is physically very very strong
    he is a p4p puncher
    and he has a ****ing iron chin

    weaknesses:
    no stamina
    **** corner
    no real game plan
    slow
    and imo not the highest ring iq
    mentally weak since he became rich and famous (he has not the mindset anymore to fight till death)

    tripple g:
    strenghts

    physically very stronger
    p4p puncher
    iron chin
    very high ring iq
    crazy ass experience
    and underrated speed

    weeknesses
    not big enough imo
    stamina wasn't tested yet
    he wants to entertain, so he is not fighting the smartest fight
