    If he beat Miranda, he would definitely beat Green.

    As for Andrade, if he does what he usually does, AA would win clearly, maybe even stop him late. If he can stay outside his reach, he might have some sort of chance.

    Abraham is a good fighter, but he is too small for SM, after tonight it's safe to say that he has no future in the division. Contenders like Bika, Andrade and Johnson would most likely beat him. The problem with Abraham is that his a short fighter yet is not an inside fighter which most short fighters tend to be, his a mid-range fighter, and simply put, the SM fighters have too much size on him for his style to be effective, on top of that, they are more durable which neutralizes his power, so even if he does land occasionally, its too little too late. Im pretty disappointed in AA's performance, but I give him props for stepping up in weight and fighting the top SM's when he himself is not a big MW.

    Sucks that we never saw that fight, and many that could have been in general, thats why we've lost so much fan interest, just off the top of my head:
    Mosley - trinidad, quartey with either. Winky - AA. Sturm with anyone of the mentioned. Mayweather - Cotto which looks like will never happen. Forest - DLH, Trinidad. These are just a few from 147 - 160 that really left us boxing fans craving for and never happened. Boxers are just premadonnas these days, which just tell us that all these belts are suffient for some people. La Motta fought and fought until he finally got a title shot, these guys now just want an ABC belt and thats cool for them, but not what people wanna see, a damn shame homie.

    OT but i think an Johnson-Andrade fight would be a FOTY candidate

    He'd knock all the remaining boogers out of Green, but Green isn't elite.

    Other than that? Rule out anyone with very good skills, good cheen, and/or no problems with fading late.

    What does that leave us?

    He could beat Dimitri Sartison and Jesse Brinkely...and maybe Robert Stieglitz. :deal

    Basically. I would also add Andrade if he fights his usual ''raging bull' style. But he might even beat him simply on workrate if AA can't knock him out.

    Sergio Martinez might actually kick the **** out of Abraham if he was able to essentially get shut out.

    Also, everyone go pray to whomever it is you pray to for Arthur's health as he is going to get his **** rocked when he fights Ward.

    Stieglitz might be the only route to a title for AA. Bute had some issues with stamina late in fights so I wonder.:think
