    Kelly will be more comfortable having him on the ropes than he will being there. :deal

    Gardner went the distance with AA.

    The version of Eastman that Miranda knocked out went the distance.

    Shannon Taylor, a guy who Raymon ****ing Joval knocked out, lasted 12.

    Kofi Jantua was KOed by an old welterweight, but made 12 rounds with AA.

    Miranda went the distance in the first fight and made AA look like something out a fright night movie.



    Where was Arthur's much vaunted power in these cases? I mean he couldn't stop a guy that Raymond Joval stopped.

    I've watched Rubio's last fight a couple of times now. I hope it is a good undercard. I really wouldn't be surprised if he went no further than Lockett. Rubio got hit by a slower fighter than Pavlik who doesn't punch as hard.

    And that's one more factor. Against KP you MUST stay off the ropes, but anytime an opponent puts the slightest pressure on AA he heads for the ropes or a corner. Nearly all of Arthur's opponents have been relatively short guys. They could not stay out of range and still hit Arthur. That won't be the case with KP.

    Agreed. No way he would be able to do anything even remotely close to what Hopkins was ablee to do.

    Arthur has one tall fighter on his resume; Ikeke. I'd suggest you re-watch that fight. If AA aproaches Pavlik like he did Ikeke, as soon as he bends at the waist, sticks head way out in front of his feet, and reaches in with that **** poor excuse for a jab, it's over.

    He is "The Ghost". I can see your confusion though. I can see why you would see a likeness.
