    Abraham hasnt fought at 160 in 3 1/2 years.

    They guy is a SMW. Hes weighed in at over 160 more times in his career than hes weighed under it.

    Floyd is a WW(not even a particularly big one) who fights at LMW for big money against guys who outweigh him by 10-15 lbs.

    Abraham gets in the ring in the 170s, Floyd gets in the ring around 150-152.

    So thats 20 lbs of a difference. Maybe 25.

    Despite all that, Id still reckon Floyd takes him.

    But seriously.

    Abraham vs. Tua...who ya got??

    I'm no Floyd fan, but I could see him getting a UD over anyone currently at 160 except for Sergio.

    You can see Floyd getting a UD over GGG or Chavez?

    They would both knock him out. The GGG KO would be brutal.

    Abraham should win, but his ring IQ would put him in the special classes

    Yeh i see yer point with regard to AA being pushed or shoved back & yer average AA performence ai'nt gonna do it if the carl froch affair is any indicator then you are spot on:yep

    I'm just looking from a view to where i'd expect AA to being a bit more frisky as he was a few years back. Skill wise it's a no contest, but this is the sort of contest where Floyd could get himself into a spot of bother with the judges whose perceptions of what is actually happening is another set of intangibles. One thing is for sure & thats the case of AA will land some albeit on the arms/thighs/hips & they'll hurt. That being said this is obviously a fight for Floyd to lose rather than AA to win.

    I never said he has. This is a hypothetical thread. Abrahams prime weight was 160. Ray leonard was a WW and pretty similar to Floyd stature wise and he fought MW Hagler @ Haglers weight. He also fought Hearns @ 160 too. Don't act like i suggested a missmatch here. Floyd would only have to weigh a couple of lbs more than he did for cotto in which he looked absolutely ripped!

    Mayweather is the same size as shane Mosley.

    Link please.

    Oscar by 4lbs Cotto by 3. Who are these men who outweigh floyd by 15lbs? Still waiting. You do know that prior to fighting Floyd, Marquez was scaling @ 130/5 for his fights don't you?

    Well he's bound to do isn't he he fights at SMW these days he can't weigh 160lbs for someone like Direll!

    You know floyd personally do you? I'd say come fight night against cotto he probably weighed around 155lbs!

    Are u incapable of grasping what i asked? I asked how the current LMW version of Floyd would fare against a MW Abraham! Unless im mistaken the scales would indicate something like a 5/6lbs difference.

    Im not interested in a WW Floyd or a Smw Abraham.

    Im sure u do.

    David Tua's prime weight was 225/35 lbs. Abrahams was 160.

    Floyds prime weight was 135. Whats your point?

    Floyd ISNT a current LMW!

    Is he fighting Guerrero at 154?

    The guy has fought 2 fights over a 5 year period at 154!

    I know you're not stupid enough to believe that Cotto and Oscar weighed 154 on fight night, so now I think you;re just trolling.


    Floyd weighed 150 against Ortiz on fight night. What makes you think he would weigh as much as 155 against Cotto?

    When Abraham was fighting at 160,he was weighing in closer to 170,if not more.
    The guy weighs under 160 WHEN HES NOT TRAINING!

    Even then he was a WW who fought at LMW, he was never and never will be a true LMW.

    Floyd gets touched and knocked out. He's too old to avoid getting hit and no version of Floyd can take a punch by Abraham. It's a silly fight to even entertain.

    Why not Floyd vs Tyson?

    Abraham is one of the most devastating punchers P4P. The best way to determine how hard someone punches is to watch the tape of how people react to the punches. When someone punches someone one time and they are out for minutes, or brain damaged and never the same such as the case with Taylor and Dirrell, that is power.

    Judge with your eyes. Even Froch said Abraham is a hard puncher. Froch has a notoriously good chin and even he wouldn't sit and trade with Abraham. No one can.
