    Not even close. Abraham and GGG are two different fighters.

    Arthur Abraham had fought and beaten better fighters at a similar stage in his career.

    At least Abraham dared to be great by entering the super 6 and moving up to 168.

    Do you even realize that Golovkin is a natural counter puncher with impeccable defense?

    Abraham walks forward in a shell, let's you unload and then answers back.

    One is a plodding pressure fighter the other is an aggressive counter puncher.

    Maybe if you had the wherewithal to understand that, you'd realize why most actual boxers fear stepping in the ring with GGG. They see what many fans don't.

    He most likely hasn't ever heard of the term "aggressive counterpuncher" and will come back with one of his other alts saying "Wake me up when Bumlovkin fights someone with a pulse"

    It's downright hilarious that there are still people here comparing GG to Abraham

    No Mr alt it isn't.

    Golovkin is a much better boxer than Abraham, actually fights out of his home country and is seeking out the best opponents in his division.

    As a side note Abraham wouldn't trouble Golovkin if they ever fought either. Abraham's style is made for Golovkin to look spectacular.

    He wasn't exposed. Abraham was good champion who eventually out grew from 160. He would still be competitive at his natural weigh division 160. Golovkin is just level above him in every department. Golovkin is also more dominant champion. You can't expose either one anymore, they have already achieved so much.

    Abraham had zero boxing skills. He turned up in a gym in Berlin when he was 19, holding a plastic bag and a sleeping bag just having arrived from 3rd world Armenia. He had ZERO boxing fundamentals, just fantastic will power and determination. You guys laughing about Abraham and rating him "2nd rate" need to look where this guy comes from. His achievements in the sport (given his less than optimal background) are phenomenal!

    And then you realize comparing him to GGG just makes you look like a total fool.
