    Froch is so easy to hit that I think AA would take him out.

    I'll go with Froch by UD ... when it comes to boxing and movement, I would have to give Froch the edge and I don't think that Abraham is all that fast either ... Height, Reach, Boxing ability, and overall skill has to go to Froch. I would give them an equal advantage on speed and I think that Froch's right hand is waaay better than Abraham's left hook or Right hand, a punch that Abraham has to lunge into to get good power and leverage ... the same punch that leaves him open for a counter.

    I give everyone edge over Abraham ... the weakest link in the tournament (based on skill)

    Abraham is getting overrated ... even when he was champion, IMO he was the always the 2nd or 3rd best middleweight in the world ... behind the champion(s) Taylor and Pavlik ... and I seen that Sam Solimon was in line to fight for the vacant strap and that Abraham got lucky ... he also filled his championship resume with madatories and hand picked (weak) opposition.

    5'9 (at best)
    shortest reach
    weakest foot movment
    overrated power
    overrated chin
    good defense - but has to be close to get off effectively.

    Froch is leagues above Abraham and i'm sure he's the stronger of the two.

    I know you like to critcize Arthur and this is a forum for debate but from the above post you are a PURE HATER. Arthur has one of the best left counters/left hand in the game today. There is absolutey NO comparison between Frochs best punch and Arthurs best punch. You removed all doubt for your hate for Arthur. Good job. Hopefully he takes JT out with this left hook your so not convinced about.:good

    You must be talking about Abraham Lincoln. You don't get lucky in boxing. You either get a chance and prove yourself, or you lose.

    When it comes to analyzing skills, you have a weak outlook. You have only criticism for AA, and NOT for Froch lol...

    LandShark:

    You would deny that Froch is the better boxer?

    check my previous post, I don't hold Froch in high regards but when he's compared to Abraham, based on what i've seen from both fighters, I see that Froch is a better fighter and its not about who he beat or who he fought, its a matter of what they both bring to the table and all the advantages go to Froch even down to movement ... thats not hating.

    I'm sure that Abraham can beat some people in the tournament but from a skill prospective i'm not going to give him the nod over anyone - even the Andre's.

    Froch is the only guy I would comfortably pick AA to beat. It's all about his lack of defense.

    In all fairness I haven't watched much of Abraham.. sounds like it would be a good matchup though..

    Dick breath I was talking about he got lucky in getting the title shot at the time he did, and add to that, JT vacating that title.
