    Abraham's last 9 opponents: whoosey ****, what's his name, some guy from Philly, Miranda, green prospect, club fighter with 30% KO ratio, Marquez, former Joval victim, who the **** is that guy, who the hell is this guy, et, et.

    Jermain's last 9 opponents: Current or recent world champions including ATG's and HOF level guys.

    I'm not saying JT will win against Abraham, but the gap in experience is freaking HUGE!

    A Pavlik fan talking about lack of experience entering the Taylor fight is incredibly dumb. Unless you think Pavlik fought better opposition before Taylor than Abraham did, and reading your posts in the past, I wouldn't be surprised if you'd say that. :hi:

    Abraham's title reign was a freaking joke. Rubio would be a big step up compared to some of those bag ladies and one-eyed winos he fought.

    Which Rubio? Who works at a Kofi shop? :lol:

    That's how you beat Rubio:

    It took 9 rounds for Pavlik what an Abraham bag lady did in 30 seconds. That makes Pavlik what... a 90 year-old crippled bag lady? :hi:

    Abraham's actually the one guy I CAN'T envision winning the whole thing. There are several guys in the tournaments with good chins, and everyone in the tournament has a better workrate than he does. Sure, he'll win some fights, but I can't envision him beating either Kessler or Froch, and he'd almost certainly need to face one of them in the semi-finals or finals.

    There will be no "Abraham UD" victories.

    Kessler and Abraham are my 2 main options for winning the tourney.

    I ain't sleeping on Ward either.

    The most tested guy in the tourney is Taylor. He has alot to prove and can really pull this out. He has some stamina and anxiety problems to work out but I think he can do it. Ward and Dirrell are as proven to me as Abraham, but both are better boxers and physically fit in at the weight better. I don't know nothing except I'm ****in excited we've only got a little over 2 weeks til this **** kicks off.:clap::clap:

    Do you see cracks in certain fighters' chins or do you see stylistic opportunity for Abraham to win some of these on points? :think

    With Taylor it might be both.

    Stylistic with Froch.

    With Keslser I think he losses a UD.

    I wonder who Bernard Hopkins predicts winning the whole thing. Do some research and you will be surprised:think
