Hm, how do you think a fight between Abraham and Taylor would look like? On Pavlik we agree with the outworking thing but Taylor is a bit different. He knows how to box and move and Abraham is a bit lazy on his feet. Imo a good boxer like Taylor, Winky, Sturm outboxes him. Abraham is good though and a real fighter, i hope he works on his stamina, footwork and gets rid of his habits fighting in spurts and throwing these looping, wide punches. These 4 mistakes would cost him in his biggest fights imo.
His next bout should tell us something since Ghevor has a bit similar to Pavlik in that he has a good workrate and likes to slug it out, don´t know much about his chin though.

His chin is ok, but he is just to small vs. Abraham and don't hit that hard. Btw, Abraham cut the ring well vs Demers and only took off 2 weeks after the fight and immidiatly started training camp for his next fight. As long as he's fighting relaxed he should have no problem - he's also a good counter-puncher and wouldn't be imposed by Taylor's physique...

Well, i suppose you agree with me that Demers isn´t on the level of Taylor, he´s much easier to figure out so cutting of the ring against him is much easier. Yeah, Abraham is a good counter-puncher but it isn´t like Taylor would be that aggressiv against him. Don´t get me wrong, out of Taylor, Sturm Pavlik i give Abraham the best chance against Taylor. Pavlik would take everything Abraham has to offer and outwork him and Sturm would just run with Abraham losing the fight because of his faults more than sturm winning. Taylor would at times stand in there with Abraham that could cost him, remember he was hurt against Hopkins, but he has also a good defence and with stewart in his corner very good advise and surely a very good gameplan.

has he ever stick to a gameplan under Manny's tutelage, I don't think so...

I dont like Taylor as a person, i can explain why but i just dont like him.
And i think trainers have a hard time with him because he isnt doing in the ring what hes supposed to do. Sometimes i think hes an stupid person.
