Simon goes 12 good rounds with Abraham...Golovkin stops Simon in 1 round...that in itself should make you think.!!!!g
AA wishes he could box like GGG. AA will be beat up so bad by GGG his abbreviations will be changed to AAHH! instead of AA.
Actually, you are confused by the term, Prime. Prime is not only used to denote youth. In fact, in boxing the term is better used to describe when the fighter is at their fighting prime as far as; -Experience -Skill -Confidence -Ring generalship Used in this way, you can make the argument that AA wasn't really in his prime when he fought Edison. In fact, personally I thought that AA was a terrible boxer then, and relied solely on his opponent to wear down giving him a chance to score a last minute KO in the last rds. After the Super 6 and AA was beaten by better boxers, AA went back to the gym and really worked hard to improve his boxing skills. AA has made much improvement and I believe he may be a better boxer today then he was during the S6.
Arthur's height is around 5-10 and he punches way harder than Stevenson. For a middle weight Stevenson is very short in height. Not only that, Arthur been in the ring with some of the hardest punchers in the game. A lot of the People are high on GGG right now because, he looks good knocking second tier opposition. We all remember a lot of the people hyping up GGG also being very high on Bute at one point until Froch exposed him.
We're not going to split hairs about Stevens and Abraham and ignore the styles matchup- no sir. A low workrate fighter fighting out of the shell isn't going to beat Golovkin. Not with GGG's chin, sniping workrate, and left hook to the body, which is the kryptonite punch for that defense. I'd go so far as to say if you had to pick out the absolute worst style for beating Golovkin, it'd be Abraham's. Not enough movement, not enough volume, and too much inactivity. Golovkin's got too much chin and too much patience offensively to get trapped making a mistake by Arthur.
Exactly. AA's resume shits all over GGG's. People are saying how good GGG's chin is, yet GGG has not yet been exposed to a real boxer.
So what are these big wins he had at middle? How is it you care about resumes suddenly, being Russell jrs #1 booster?
