    Edwin Valero. He has punching power for sure but he is kind of slow, his punches are wide and leaves him open, and he has no defense. He's like Pac before he had Freddy Roach...wreckless.

    Well, remember Pac up until recently. He went very far with those wide ass left punches in which he took forever to regain his balance. I guess with some of these guys is it just takes one of their punches to hurt you so you don't get the oppurtunity to make them pay for what seems obvious mistakes. I think Marquez was the only one to be able to make Pac pay for his poor balance but by then he had already tasted the canvas three times.

    Ricardo Mayorga's wild aimless "you better not be under this when it lands" punches are hilarious to watch live.

    I wouldn't say that Abrahams technique is that bad, it's ok, it's not really good but it's decent enough. Many fighters have worse technique.

    But it's true that he has some big flaws like leaving himself terribly open after throwing punches, and I don't understand why he doesn't work on that with his coach Uli Wegner - who is a very good coach. He should definitely correct that before facing Pavlik.

    Without a doubt PRINCE NASEEM HAMED, without a doubt.

    Awesome KO power, but could be made to look so clumsy it could be embarrassing. Anyone remember Augie Sanchez chasing him around the ring? Floored by the great Daniel Alicea? Laid out several times by Kevin Kelley? Or being humiliated by Barrera? Yet he had all the physical tools to be a great.

    That is true although I think that this flaw won't make the difference against Pav.
