Arthur Abraham Vs Golovkin at Middleweight?

Golovkin KO

 

Abraham is too much of a stationary target. It would be a one sided demolition, AA would probably get brain damaged due to his very solid chin.

 

A stationary target with a turtle shell defense who willingly gives up his body against the best body punching middleweight since Mike McCallum.....yeah, I've got a pretty good idea of how that's going.

Great fight would bring the best out of both

 

Styles make fights. That's lesson one, pupil.

Hit the books. Start with the ones with pictures.

 

This comes down to versatility.

I don't see Golovkin ever going life and death with - or suffering a broken jaw at the hands of - Edison Miranda. (and that was often cited, by Abraham's fans no less, as his exemplary performance that proved his championship mettle at MW)

 

You can't really blame Golovkin for not having that great of a resume so far and not being around when the MW division was better. We know how hard he got ****ed being with Universum all that time. Look how quickly he's become the fighter he is in just barely two years with a competent promoter. Who knows where he would be at if he had been with K2 a couple years longer.

 

So whats Abrahams best win at MW, windup?

 

AA was a very powerful middleweight and even at supermiddleweight those guys had to respect his strength and power. But he tended to open up way too much and rarely throw shots down the pipe. He rarely if ever got backed up. In Maidana's case, he was an awkward brawler and became an awkward and deceptively very good boxer, but he's still in his prime. Abraham also could land very hard bodyshots, but on domestic fighters. Always tough as nails, but he always fell short in big fights. His defense similar, but not as good as Winky's. AA might still have some power, but landing it is another thing and its not just GGG's power he has to worry about, its the smart pressure, counterpunching, jabbing, timing, etc etc. A stoppage of Abraham is most likely.

 

And how could he have fought the best middleweights when Kelly Pavlik (and Sturm, though to be fair, I believe Sturm was the one avoiding that fight) is missing off his resume?

It's clearly a wind-up thread. GGG has defeated more actively rated 160 pounders than Abraham did; the notion that Arthur has a superior middleweight resume is simply flawed.
