Clottey and Abraham double standards

Abraham knocks people out , takes him 5 rounds to get going but then it's getting rough for his opponents in the ring . Clottey was the same whole 12 rounds , maybe threw 1 or 2 punches more in certain rounds than the other ones .

 

Froch has fought better opposition; it's not remotely debatable. And BELIEVE ME I hate Froch's guts; I'll be rooting for Abraham against him if/when they fight. The Taylor that fought Abraham was AT BEST equal to the one that fought Froch. He had less in the way of stamina issues, though mainly because he didn't throw anything, but his defence and chin had gone to rat****. Apart from that, Froch has fought a top champion in Pascal, who's gone on to have success at 175, and a very good fighter in Dirrell. Those two are, combined, better than Miranda.

Yes they have. Kessler's win over Andrade alone was a better win than Abraham's over Taylor's dead body, and much more dominant. (Just think what Andrade would have done to that version of Taylor - he would have walked him down and royally ****ed him up.) Pavlik's TWO wins over prime or near-prime Taylor and his lopsided demolition of Miranda by far trump Abraham's scraping past Miranda and beating shot-to-**** JT.

 

Haha, so now Zab Judah (post Baldomir, Mayweather and Cotto) and Liberado Andrade are now better wins than Jermaine Taylor? Keep them coming....

 

abraham may implement the same strategy, but he usually follows up with a fight ending punch, THATS why abraham is loved. because people know whats coming when he's i the ring.

 

Of course it's bloody debatable.

Pascal won a vacant title, beat Diaconu (best win: Chris Henry) and beat Branco (10 defeats). Dirrell's best win in his career so far is what? Victor Oganov?

That is not the stuff of 'not remotely debatable', that's a ridiculous claim.

 

1) I never said the Judah thing.

2) Yes, Andrade was a better win than Taylor. Who would have won between Andrade and the version of JT that washed up on the sea shore?

I'm getting annoyed with your selective hearing and agenda posting.

 

Both of those guys are talented fighters with a lot of ability. Froch doesn't have the record of Sam Langford, but Abraham's isn't all that either. I've already dealt with JT; Miranda is gradually declining into a delapidated journeyman.

 

You're ******ed.

They have completely different styles and strategies. Clottey isn't getting abused for his style, he's getting abused for his strategy: survive. Abraham's strategy is always the same: murder.

Don't take a cheap shot at Abraham like that :nono

Abraham is the most over rated figher on the planet. Who ever is in second place for that distinction has no hope of ever catching up.

 

those few punches make a world of difference.

 

Well, I'd favor a tall, rangy guy with very good reflexes, very good technical skills, and a good feeling for tactics to be able to outscore Abraham to a wide decision. Basically someone like the old, early combination punching Sturm before his stupid trainer turned him into a one-punch-at-a-time bore.

But Margarito ? Abraham would kill a guy like that. Just wait until he fights Froch, there you can see what he does with a guy like Margarito. Amber Lamps time.

 

he knocks people the **** out!

 

Froch is no Margarito. He doesn't have the chin, work rate or even the technical ability. And, ****, when a point of derision for a fighter being compared to Margo is technical ability, it's a pretty ****ing damning insult.

 

If only Clottey can knock out people with his style, he won't be criticized this much. AA gets a pass because he can put his opponents on the canvass.
