    Just been reading on the Scene about Abraham moving back down to 160 pounds. I think after a fight or two he would be ready for Martinez...would be a cracking fight because Abraham carries a lot of power at Middleweight,plus has a solid chin. I think it would be a real pick em fight.

    Would be a good fight. If Martinez keeps his hands low, it could be game over

    Abraham was able to wobble and hurt everyone in the 168 division, he ktfo taylor, brain damaged dirrell, rocked froch and ward . . . . Martinez keeps his hands down low so Abraham could pull off the upset

    They are much bigger men though.Martinez isnt.Hes a former light middle who was dropped by Williams who is feather fisted compared to Abraham.

    When did he rock Froch and Ward? Unless by rock you mean hit.

    Size barely mattered in those fights, he got outboxed. Froch isn't that big anyway.

    Froch is 6'1.Ward is around the same.Abraham is 5'9:-(Froch called him the midget for a reason.It no coincidence the one fight he looked good at 168 was against Jermain Taylor who himself has said hes coming back at middleweight where he was successful.

    I'd like Abraham back down at 160, he'd fit in well currently with the likes of N'Jikam, Pirog, Macklin, Lee, Barker and Golvkin and could be involved in some excellent fights. Thing is though they are all a class below Martinez unfortunately.

    It seems strange to say because he's such a class champion but Middleweight would be a lot better off without Martinez. For the good of the sport, I'd like him back down at 154- there's potentially some good fights to be made there for him and it'd maybe be more of a challenge for Sergio
