Is Arthur Abrahams power heavily overated?

Did Boo put you up to this?

 

AA is mostly just a volume puncher. Gets it done like Juan Diaz. Volume and aggression, ya dig?

No its pretty well known that hes a devastating puncher.

 

He's a ****ing murderous puncher

 

Some of those wins where he didn't get a KO it was mostly due to him just basically be bored in the ring and not really stepping on the gas, and also his last couple of fights at 160 he was having trouble making weight. So, no he has devastating one punch power.

 

I'm only joking, Booradley will probably be here shortly. He's an infamous AA detractor. Yes, other people have questioned AA's power. I think when you look at his low output and how many times he starches people off of one clean shot or two, you see his power is enormous. I don't see a way of getting around that. It doesn't mean people don't put too much stock in his power alone, which I'm sure they do. I do take under consideration that AA had a lot of trouble making weight during his title reign at 160, and some guys that went the distance with him probably wouldn't have if he wasn't drained. But records are littered with big punchers not stopping some opponents you'd assume they would. It doesn't mean much. :conf

 

I think his power is good. 1 shot KO power in both hands.

Like anything else on ESB, it might be exaggerated. Things like him being able to KO a whale(only 1 guy could do that, and we all know who that is.)

His power is legit.

 

Abraham is in the top 5 p4p one punch finisher imo.

 

yeah, he is a pillow fisted glass chinned fraud.

 

And? Bobby Crabtree was kayo'd in the first round by a nobody, immediately before George Foreman TKO'd him in six in 1987. Crabtree had been stopped 13 other times before that. Foreman also went the distance with Everett Martin, who had twice been stopped by nobodies. Foreman knocked out Terry Sorrell in round two, though Sorrell had been previously stopped in one by a journeyman with a losing record. Foreman knocked out Scott LeDoux in round three. Scott had previously been stopped in two by a journeyman with a losing record. Foreman knocked out Tim Anderson in four. Anderson had been knocked out five times before that, four of those times, by nobodies, and quicker than Big George. Luis Faustino Pires was stopped by George in the fifth, though had previously been stopped by Oscar Bonavena in the fourth. We can do this all day with big punchers, but really, it doesn't mean that much.
