    If you can find it, go and watch Reid's very last fight. He literally looked like he was physically falling apart. He had nothing left. I believe the guy he fought was only a part fighter as well.

    Fernando Vargas was physically done. His movement had deteriorated at the end of his career. Taylor didn't have the greatest chin himself and add that to his stamina issues and you don't have much left.

    Dirrell hasn't been hit by monstrous shots by either but heh, the man fought them both if he does think that then he has a legitimate opinion.

    Of course Froch hits harder:patsch Froch is a big punching SuperMiddle while AA is a big punching middle. It's hardly surprising

    Frochy prolly has the slight edge in power over Abe, yet its close..... Landing with leverage is the key..... I think Froch throws many "Arm" punches..... Abe does too, but when both men land flush its pretty wicked at 165 to 175 pounds........ Both guys bang good enough to get the job done........

    Power versus effective placement of power may be the difference. Froch hits hard, but it is obvious what he plans to do. AA hits hard, but is more elusive and accurate.

    Agreed, Froch has **** load of natural power, but you can see his punches coming, as he is slow in handspeed, and footwork..... He rarely catches people with a good shot they dont ever see coming

    Abraham is a more skilled boxer, who catches people with punchers from weird angles they dont see coming.... But he also has very big power

    Yep. AA is everything Josh Clottey SHOULD be.

    Terrible comparison....Norton was being held up by the ropes. Dirrell on the other hand was clearly down on one knee and AA blatantly took a cheap shot when he was down.

    Do you also think Ray Mercer should have been DQ'd for beating the hell out of Morrison along the ropes too?
