    They are both quite slow and limited but who would you say is better?

    I side with Froch but its close.

    Technique: Abraham
    Mentality: Froch

    Opinion, of course. Froch is underrated technically because he's awkward as ****all even in his best most effective performances. Abraham has a strange ring personality to me that can conspire against him.

    I'm worried about Froch's mentality now. Before when it came to Jermain Taylor and the beggining of Super 6 he was saying I'll fight anywhere just to knock them out etc etc.

    Now he doesn't want to fight anywhere except the UK.

    Naa its just an ego defence mechanism, convince himself he was/will be robbed because accepting defeat would weaken resolve. If he beats AA he will be back to his old self.

    Abraham is solely a puncher and has limited boxing skills. He fights slow and has little defense. His game plan is to wait until his opponent wears himself out by punching him for 9-10 rounds, and then catching him with a power head shot.

    Even still, Abraham is better than Froch cause Froch is no better than a steaming runny worm infested pile of ****.

    The loss to Kessler definitely brought out another side to Froch.

    Froch is a better boxer IMO but I think AA bangs harder.

    I definitely think Abraham is. He has more power, but hat it really comes down to for me is defense. They are both hittable, but Frosch appears open most of the time with his hands so low thinking he's rjj. I always wonder how Frosch has reached the level that he has. I credit it to heart and a stuRdy chin.

    Abraham will play peek-aboo until Froch gasses, and then BAM! Froch is in dreamworld

    I give an edge to Froch. Many people are turned off because of his "awkward" style, but its one that wins also.

    AA appears to have the better technique, and in one sense he does. But that technique is VERY limited and rigid and inflexible. Dirrell proved that every round. AA is a big and powerful puncher w/ limited ability out of that, imo. Froch's style and ability is much more flexible and adaptable vs styles.

    Here's the gameplan which is glaring and obvious vs AA, Dirrell used ~
    1)Easily outbox and steal first 4 rounds from AA
    2)Because AA's a slow starter (why? because of stamina problems and dont wanna be labeld only as a frontrunner)
    3)Target the body by hooking around his long forearm guard in the early rounds
    4)AA will be weakened going into mid/late rounds by body attacks
    5)Mid/Late rounds - AA starts pushing forward, looking for KO. Keep quick footwork, use jab and stay outside. Dont stay in No Mans Land. Stay out or phonebooth to stifle AA's power. Have a counter punch ready when he jumps in to attack. Easy UD win.
