    perfect two ranked contenders going at it trimming the title challengers and establishing credible opponents for the titlists

    Big step up for TO. He needs a few more step up fights before this. But I think TO does have the stuff to win this fight.

    How can you disagree have you seen the highlight reels?

    even if your winning the fight unless the bell rings at the end of the 12th round he still got a chance of winning the fight. He is a guy no1 can sleep on because of that power.

    same goes for Kendal holt and randal bailey at 140-147

    Do you call that an argument? I recall you that your statement sounded
    "PLUS ABRAHAM IS ARGUABLY THE HARDEST PUNCHER AT 168"
    In plain English, that means you think that AA is a better puncher that any other active SMW and you think also to have arguments to sustain this favorable comparison with all current top SMW punchers. You presented something which indicates he should be considered good puncher also at SMW (we already know he was pretty feared for his fists at MW), but there is no explicit or implicit comparison with other SMWs, so you didn't provided any support to your claim.
    You could for instance try to start by comparing SMW record of AA with other top SMWs: count the KOs in matches disputed at 168 (you will find 3) and divide that to the total number of matches he fought at this division, then repeat the same operations for other top SMW fighters. You should also perform a critical analysis of the results obtained by AA with his unmatched punching power at SMW. Conversely, you could explain in your own words why do you rate AA's punching power higher than the power of Bute, Kessler, Froch, Dre Dirrell or Adonis Stevenson (the list is not exhaustive).

    I did not say he is definetly the hardest puncher at 168.

    but he is a guy that you cannot sleep on I dont care who hes fighting.

    he does have that power that can put any SMW asleep for the count.

    Maybe adonis or dirrel can hit harder than him.

    Like i said its an arguable case.

    fyi I dont think kessler or frotch hits harder than abraham.

    I beleive theyre beter boxers though.
