    AA is being made out like the new Mike Tyson and is "always" on his way to KTFO out of his opponents. He has fought NOONE. He took 12 rounds to KO a completely useless Taylor. He has no stamina and throws about 10 punches a round. He complains to the ref everytime someone dares go to his body. He was embarrassed and completely outclassed by the first real live talent he faced. He resorted to fouling out rather than lose a wide UD. But he is severely overrated by alot of fans. Not just German Fans but everywhere. He has never impressed me. He sits behind a shell and throws slow wild punches in spurts that mostly miss. He wins rounds in Germany doing that but it won't cut anywhere else. Don't get it????:huh

    You've never watched his fights prior to the Super Six, have you? You talk like someone who hasn't. However, if Dirrell has a problem slipping like the ring's covered in bananas, Abraham does have a problem about bitching about any shot that comes close to the belt.

    He trashed Miranda in Florida in four rounds. You know, that guy everyone used to say was the future of the middleweights and broke Arthur's jaw in their first fight?

    Good lord?? Is that all it takes to be a great fighter today??? Beat a mid level fighter that has lost every one of his step up fights BAD.

    Miranda did demolish AA's jaw in amazing fashion. Miranda prolly won that fight. AA seems to be too content staying in his shell too long, then looking for KO late. I think he's a good fighter but agree his stamia needs to improve and start earlier vloume punching in his fights. He's a gut who will always have a puncher's chance in every fight. I def think he'll KTFO a very game froch, unfortunatly it'll prolly be in the 11 rd.

    Nah he's not overrated. He was the best fighter in a weak division before he moved up and would've destroyed Pavlik at 160. I don't know why you're questioning his power either, that dude can ****in crack and carries his power for all 12 rounds. He's gonna to knock Froch the **** out.

    If i remember rightly he had some pretty decent wins outwith Miranda at middle. Obviously Pavlik was the fight we all wished to see, but for some reason it never came through. I do agree with you, he is overrated by some. He's good at what he does, his defense style is pretty unique.
    Regarding the Dirrel fight, he was starting to come on before that foul. It was a costly mistake because i genuinely thought he had a chance at breaking Dirrel down as it went on.
    His style is ugly to watch, but you cannot deny is power, and thats why a lot of people as you say think he is about to "ktfo of his opponents".

    That dude finish a fight with a SHATTERED jaw. He has good defense and serious power. A bit robotic at times, but the guy is the real deal. Hell in the AD fight I counted FOUR knock downs, two each. To say he is overrated is a bit much.

    He is everything we wished Joshua Clottey was. A little lighter on the D and a lot heavier on the O!

    Personally I think Froch can beat him.

    Dirrel was still EASILY out boxing Abraham in that round and AA landed a punch the ONLY way he could have, illegally. :deal
