    I saw the Miranda fight and Arthur is about the toughest ******* on earth. How will King Arthur match up vs the Jermain Taylors and Kelly Pavliks of the world. Do you think he is the real deal or just another protected fighter based in Germany who will live on home town decisions?

    The second part..But I am known abraham hater so what do I know.......Taylor or Pavlik whoops his ass though..Pavlik drops him and Taylor pops him up. The guy struggled with Miranda got bludgened and his jaw got smashed in...Miranda is a fans fighter..not really the most talented of the bunch.

    he'd do well with taylor and probably put on a good showing, but he's gonna have trouble with pavlik. too much of a height and reach advantage, not to mention throws in volume with power behind those punches.

    He is badass enough to win a fight vs Miranda with a broken jaw almost throughout the match. That's pretty badass.

    He's sortof untested in the Taylor level. I never thought Miranda was that great.

    We don't know until they fight but my money would be on Taylor.

    Pavlik's volume punching is all wrong for Abraham.
    Abraham has a very low workrate and can't counterpunch.
    He would stand a better chance against Taylor.

    But he's much smaller, this could be a problem, too.

    Abraham 1,78m
    Taylor 1,85m
    Pavlik 1,88m

    abraham has improved sine the miranda fight. he has a much better defense and he is not so wild at knocking out his opponent. you have to recognise that he is a fresh man in the mix, he is pro sice 2004 and he fought good opposition sice then. in his last bout he knocked out khoren gevor brutally in the 11th round. i was really shocked by the KO and i really think he will enter the usa soon. hbo has spoken to him and his german promotr, so hopefully he wont waste talent and hang around europe, because he would enter the usa in big style. both, taylor and pavlik are beatable and abraham hits harder than taylor and possibly harder than pavlik. pavlik is taller and throws more punches but his chin is untested, arthurs is not. these fights would be huge and i think arthur abraham has the tools to become a star. he is a nice fellow, by tghe way.

    I rate him, he is a fair bit better than the other top armenian, Viccy D.

    He does have some limitations though, maybe can take down JT but in reality though JT has had some help from the powers that be, his ability has allowed him to be so competitive in those fights that it wasnt THAT much of a gift for him. JT is a good fighter, so is AA would be a great match.

    not skilled enuff. :patsch

    abs has very good skills.

    he's a great counter/combo puncher.

    he would definitely pay pavlik arse's anyway. :yep

    Number of counterpunches against Gevor: 0 in 11 rounds.

    Please tell me why he'd beat Pavlik.

    (Abraham is one of my favourite boxers.)

    Both Pavlik and Taylor will trouble Abraham. But, we still havent seen if Pavlik can go 12 rounds. I cant imagine him easily making 160, so theres a good chance Abraham can drown him if the fight goes deep. IMO Taylor will be a toughter fight, mainly becasue his real athletic and fast on his feet. He can jump in there, throw a one two and jump back out without being hit. Thats if he fights a diciplined fight, if he gets gutsy, theres a good chance AA will KO him.

    AA is more of a counter puncher than attacker. He mixes it up.

    watch any of his other fights.

    ikeke, miranda.

    his countering is his strong point for me.

    he can punch fast and in clusters. :bbb
