    Yeah, but Calzaghe's gone and I can't see him coming back!

    Reid wobbled him too - Froch has gotten away with his lack of defence because his opponents didn't punch hard or fast. Against Reid, a guy with world class power at SMW, he showed he's not THAT sturdy. He's certainly no Calzaghe.

    Pascal stung him, Taylor stung him and Dirrell stung him. In fact, Dirrell looked to be the harder puncher when he sat down on his shots in the 10th and 11th. He's fighting guys who deliver their punches properly and his chin's holding up, but he needs to bring his guard up.

    The reason Dirrell was avoiding all his head shots was that his arms have so far to travel and he's not fast enough to disguise it - Dirrell's quick, he just saw the travel and knew when to move.

    He's getting knocked out by Abraham - he'll do something rare for himself recently and be ahead on points by round 5 and Abraham will uncork something brutal on him after waiting for him to throw a sloppy right.

    The man came out of germany, went to america and knocked edison miranda into timbuktoo. 4 round ko

    He will do it anywere, he has the power and the patience.

    People are under the impression that Arthur needs dodgy judges and referees to win - he just boxes in a professional style. Harder punches, better tactics and proper ring generalship.

    I think I am more excited about watching the Abraham fights than any others in super 6.

    Make him fight at a division where he's fat?

    Also, Hopkins' tactics only worked because Winky was smaller and couldn't punch for **** even at MW, never mind LHW. Winky was connecting on Hopkins, he just didn't have the strength or power to deter him.

    And Hopkins mauled him in the clinches - Abraham's too strong for that tactic and he's liable to catch you on the way in too. I don't think there's a SMW out there who could take Abraham's shots flush.

    Why are people saying that they should get Abraham out of Germany? His next fight is in the US and he has fought there before, sparking out Edison Miranda in four rounds.

    Some people are clueless.

    Abraham has had one genuinely close fight and even then, most sensible observers recognise he beat Miranda. When has he needed any home cooking?

    I saw gaps in his peak a boo, asking for a Froch uppercut.

    Although if Froch stands and trades like he did against Pascal, I see him getting KO'd cold.

    Abraham has some serious power!

    Win the early rounds quite easily ala taylor

    Then fight on the counter for the rest of it, and move and potshot

    Dirrel or Ward could do it. Kessler could probably beat him differently.

    HE has serious power, a good chin, a good defense...but I dont see standing still with your hands over your head for 3/4s of the fight as some kind of unbeatable style.

    Technically he is a mess. Every second he can be exposed. His balance is awful so throw the right punch at the right time and he can be caught off balance. When his guard is high then pierce it or go around it. When he throws his huge sweeping punches throw better technical punches.

    He can be beat technically non stop. Someone like Calzaghe would hurt him up. Kessler should box his socks off.
