    Lol, so you think Sauerland just said "one extra point for kayo" and the 4 other promoters and Showtime said "Sir, yes, sir!"? :lol:

    Winky would have schooled AA and shown him that he is a true defensive fighter, Abraham simply puts his arms up and plays rope-a-dope.

    Jermain will knockout AA. AA is not on the level of JT or Winky, or Pavlik.

    I think this is pretty obvious from the picks.

    Abraham at middleweight is neither a sure bet nor a pushover for Taylor, Pavlik, or Wright.

    Let me turn this around for you:
    1. Would Jermain Taylor still have a belt if the judges were competent enough to see his fights against BHop and Winky were both losses.
    2. Would Pavlik with a different referee even be talked about today?:nono
    3. If AA did not vacate his belt to fight tougher competition at SMW, he would still be beating up Rubios and Lockets.
    Would have, could have, should have, you are doing that a lot lately with the AA fight nearing.
    Worry about Pavlik beating up a WW blown up MW.:deal

    Taylor was always overhyped. He need HBO to get him gift decisions to "beat" Hopkins. And his chin isn't good. Abraham always had the power to take advantage of it and take it out of the hands of HBOs judges.

    I hope people hyping AA don't go into hiding after Jermaine smashes him to bits.

    Smashes him to bits? :lol: It's a 50/50 fight.

    If he was going to "smash anyone to bits" Ouma and Spinks would attest to that.

    Taylor is the far better boxer and will win on the scorecards.

    Abraham (if he carries his power up) can definitely chin check Jermain if Jermain gets stupidly macho.

    Jermain doesn't like to chase after guys, and Arthur likes to keep the pace nice and chillaxed. Jermain might get fed up with constantly having to press, engage, and initiate (which he dislikes) and eating hard discouraging counters despite landing better himself. He might throw all his discipline and training out the window and say "I'm a dog up in HYUH!" and begin to slug, and get KTFKO.

    If that weren't a real possibility I wouldn't see it as 50/50. But it is. So I do.

    Point #1, Anytime you don't like the decision you scream robbery. Jermain won those fights because Hops did not do enough to win and and neither did winky. Fights are won and lost on a round by round basis.

    Point #2, At what point should Smoger have stopped that fight? when KP was up at a 2 count? Maybe after that when KP nullified most of JT's offense? Toward the end when KP was initiating the action? Between rounds when the doc checked KP and said he was okay? When exactly should Smoger have stopped it?

    Point #3, Last time I checked KP fought JT twice, and fought Hopkins. Arthur would be 0-3 in those fights, and if he had JT's resume' he'd have 5 losses.

    Point #4, I made this thread just for you:yep
