    Golovkin is a poor man's Arthur Abraham, why is he a poor man's version? Abraham had more speed, a better jab and actually fought LIVE fighters. The Golovkin Klan get's hard on's because he beats nobodies.

    He's slow, his punches are telegraphed, and he doesn't even have a jab like Abraham to set up his power shots.

    Maybe one day he'll actually fight another title holder.

    GGG would murder Abraham. You can't be that inactive, holding your gloves up in front of your face for half the round, against a fighter like GGG and expect to survive. Abraham's as basic as they come.

    If you're going to call a boxer a 'poor mans' version, u need to be talking about more than just their physical assets. skills wise, there is no comparison.

    Arthur Abraham was so dominant in Middleweight, he either stopped you or shut you down. Guys who use static leverage...lose alot of power moving up in weight, Golovkin better not move up :nono

    True poetry here. You show a command of the English language that matches your keen eye for boxing ability and talent.

    Golovkins would knock Abraham out easily.

    Arthur Abraham never lost in 160, No not easily for either of them

    Prime Arthur Abraham = Prime GGG

    I don't see the comparison.

    Abraham was a good fighter but his style had far more weaknesses than GGG. Abraham didn't have GGG footwork and when he shelled up he could not generate any offense. Abraham also wasn't adept at cutting off the ring.

    Trust me, if GGG fights Froch it will be a way more competitive fight than Abraham-Froch was.

    Golovkin would totally outclass Froch, knock him out..........................however, Golovkin wants to clean out the middleweight division. Marvin Hagler fought at 160 his entire career...........

    Abraham is not a volume puncher like Golovkin.
