Arthur Abraham v Calzaghe/RJJ/BHOP

In their primes they all beat Abraham in my opinion.

 

Calzaghe is too sturdy and active for Abraham
Jones Jr. is too fast and elusive ...
Hopkins is too accurate, confident and good defensively ...

Lets not go putting Abraham on a pedestal just because he beat Miranda and Taylor, he still had Dirrell and Kessler to get through who are by far bigger challenges tactically and stylistically.

 

All of those guys beat Abraham at any point in their careers ... I'm sure that Calzaghe hopes that one of those undefeated fighters wins the tournament so that he can fight one of those guys in a super fight ... but I doubt that will happen.

out of the 3 ... Calzaghe has the best chance to knock Abraham out ... I think Calzaghe can lure Abraham into a brawl early and take him out late ... as for B-Hop and Jones, too fast - too skill full they both win by UD ... **** actually B-Hop can probably get the late TKO as well with him being so right hand dominate and being so sneaky with that right hand.

 

The RJJ of the present would not beat him...BHop may win and Calzaghe wins most definitely.

In their prime I can't see AA winning.

 

WTF? :silly

 

I agree with fitz, given the current outlook.

Given prime versions, they all are very likely to KO Abraham, with RJJ doing it the quickest and most efficiently.

 

You predict, that Calzaghe knocks Abraham out? Lure Abraham into a brawl?

Wtf?

 

Prime Calzaghe can't knock him out, prime BHop and RJJ have the tools, but it is hard for anybody to knock someone with a turtle shell defense, a solid chin and an iron will out...

 

Jones and BHop are great counter punchers and that is the style one needs to beat Abraham.

 

Agreed (provided that you've the class of these two. An average / good fighter won't beat him with counter punching)

 

I seriously doubt prime Calzaghe knocks him out if Miranda couldn't do it when Abraham had a broken jaw. I don't even think RJJ knocks him out. Hopkins at MW could do it with a good counter...maybe.

 

In their primes they all beat Abraham

even todays Jones would probably outbox him

Abraham has a small chance too knock out old Jones

Old Hopkins and Calzaghe would totally outbox Abraham

 

Right now??? Jones gets brutally stopped late,Joe also gets stopped late,Bernard wins a UD

In their primes,its a completly different story

 

Calzaghe TKO.
Jones wide UD.
Hopkins late TKO.
