    Abraham is a verry strong puncher at the middleweight division and a verry verry tough guy, fought manny rounds with an serious jaw injury against Miranda and still won it, yes it was close but he won it. I think if not the injury he would have beaten miranda, maybe by KO. Abraham has a also a verry good defense. I think he would beat Tailor. Abraham and the winner of Taylor and Pavlick are the two best fighters at 160.
    Im shure we will see great things from abraham in the future. he stopped Howard eastman and Kingsley Ikeke and manny of his opponents say they never fought such an powerfull guy like Abraham before.

    he is number 2 behind taylor .

    just correct yourself a little he never stopped eastman.

    a legit threat to anyone at 160 and IMO he would beat taylor but taylor deserves numvber 1 spot by dint of beating hopkins twice.

    pavlik v abraham would be great stuff.

    abraham is effective , if a little stiff and awkward looking, but he does have the tools wheter it be power or boxing to get the job done v a mix of styles.

    watched him climb the rankings and he was never moddlecoddled but given tough opponents and proved he is a tough /strong./hardman with not a little skill as well.

    trys to walk through boxers and trys to outbox sluggers.

    so far he has managed both.

    Inactivity is costing him. He had momentum after the Miranda fight but took a long time off. I know he needed time to heal but still. I doubt he will ever fight out of Germany. So I dont see him getting any better unless he decides to step to the plate and fight someone like Taylor or Pavlik.

    He simply must come to America because there aren't that uch oppertunities left (Sturm wants to go to the US and ignores AA).
    Pavlik/Wright vs. Abraham would be top-notch...

    i rate him 2 or 3 but i think he lost that miranda fight. that was one of the most disgraceful robberies ive ever seen.

    Ikeke was considered top5 when he TKOed him back in 2005. The fight vs. Eastman was just 7-5 rounds, so you are right on this one...

    have very little to base a firsthand opinion on, outside the miranda fight and some other assorted clips. let him fight the taylor-pavlik winner and i'll feel better about pegging him with conviction.

    AA will KO Gevor inside 8 rounds and Sturm is gunshy and would be KOed as well...

    Its been a while since ive seen the fight but their is no way he won the first 5 rounds. The first 2 definitley maybe the third. And some of those point deductions was ridiculas. The ref saved his ass.
