Best I Face: Arthur Abraham

Good read!

 

Nice synopsis of his career and good to hear about a happily retired fighter.

 

Seeing him come out with the Smurfs hat, I was an instant fan! Glad he's saved well and invested.

 

What a great article that was. Actual meaningful, direct answers regarding the best he fought. Rather than beating around the bush or giving bull**** answers like so many boxers "uhh, no, this guy, who knocked me out cold, does not hit hard at all, however, this other guy who I annihilated in a round, man he hit hard".

Abraham was a very good fighter, and more importantly he dared to be great. He saw the challenges at SMW and took them on. He fell short at SMW but at middleweight he is very dangerous for anyone.

 

My wife became a fan of his after watching him vs Miranda. That jaw of his!!

 

Usually when you hear "his chin got cracked" that fighter lost. He actually won .

 

That era of SMW he fought in was insane. Ward, froch, kessler, dirrell. And at barely 5'9 he was the smallest guy by far.

 

Dirells overrated as **** , he got overly praised for one performance against an unmotivated sloppy Froch in which he kept flopping all over the canvas LOL.. Degale put him in his rightful place & little Abraham battered him .. Dirells a joke , couldn't even beat Uzcategui few years back

 

Nice to see him award SOG a lot of deserved credit (awaits hisses and boos), good read all round.

 

I was cheering for Miranda to win but Arthur is a class act through and through.

 

By the grace of the referee.

 

A good read about a fighter that made the most of his ability. I personally didn't care for Abraham's style but for a guy that was as slow as he was he fought very intelligently. One thing is for sure, he could certainly crack especially at 160.

Side note, it is nice to see that he has been successful outside of the ring with his money. That same tactical defensive style that he employed in the ring is serving him well in business it seems. Too bad some of his opponents like Jermaine Taylor have not fared so well after boxing. While Abraham is loaded with real Estate, Taylor is flat broke in Arkansas and seemingly suffering from CTE.

 

Good read. Froch, after being the first to put a beatdown on him, only gets the AA award for second best chin he has faced

Also would have liked an honorable mention for Eubank Jnr

 

Abraham really is a beast when you look back at his resume. Seems like a "true professional."
