Arthur Abraham Vs Golovkin at Middleweight?

AA tends to make fights he shoulda won easily into life and death struggles. He was an exciting fighter, but he's not at that world level anymore. GGG is too versatile, too strong even for AA physically and mentally. GGG takes his time, but notice how he never rushes or reaches in desperately for a ko, which could lead to himself making mistakes and getting ko'd himself. Guys like Stevens and Geale could land cuz they have respectable handspeed, but they paid for it by getting countered and timed beautifully by GGG. AA doesn't have that speed. Only way I see him winning is by going to war with GGG and trying to time his right hand with a shitload of jabs, body, head, body, head. AA is way to robotic with his footwork too. I don't like his chances.

 

:good

 

Well by the time he had his first HBO fight, it was different than just a couple years prior. Nobody wanted to risk getting in with him because there was no money, and it would derail a chance at the, then, MW kingpin Martinez. Fighters most likely knew who he was or had heard the name but didn't fancy giving him a shot much earlier which would been obviously better for him. And now obviously people have been reluctant to fight him other than the ones who have nothing to lose and everything to gain, or gain back. He's been in a rather odd situation for quite a few years.

 

I'm not referring to Golovkin getting money from fighting someone, I'm talking about fighting him doesn't generate enough money to warrant the risk, at least back before he had K2 and had network backing. And I'm not sure if you're talking about him and Abraham fighting now. Of course Geale was the better option for him at the moment, not in terms of a paycheck. I'm not sure how much Abraham would do for him now especially if her were to drop back down to MW.

 

This is rediculous. Even at a relatively young age, AA got dominated by the Frochs and Wards.

AA is not much worse now then he was years ago.

 

Since you specify the fight to be at MW I assume you mean a prime AA (although his technique/tactics are better now) because right now he'd KO himself trying to make the MW limit.

 

GGG ud

 

Damn this would've been one epic fight. I'll go with Abraham simply because Golovkin is yet to be proven when his biggest win remains to be Curtis Stevens.

 

How is it Stevens?

 

Abrahams 160 resume isn't better than GGG's. I'm not sure why people are pretending as though he's the more accomplished middleweight other than to wind people up. Kinda like conveniently pretending body attacks don't exist.
