    Am I misreading this? Are you saying that Abraham beat Miranda "more clearly" than Pavlik did?

    Abraham definitely beat Miranda (I don't think anyone would argue there) but Pavlik stopping him wasn't controversial.

    Yes I think you are. Read what was written.
    Abraham won the return in 4 rounds at a higher weight than MW where he was champ

    A european can be 60-0 come to America and lose to a C+ fighter, happens all the time, like Thomas Damgaard when he got beat by Arturo Gatti.

    Can happen the other way also.
    Look at how O Sheika was touted and then went to the UK and lost to a journeyman with many losses, but in this case here, I dont think Hopkins would have got to 60-0, so please stick to the subject
