    I wonder is it a muscular endurance issue? tires out easily because of bulk
    or a stamina, wind issue......I mean with his short height at this weight only a relentless attack will save him vs the better taller SMW'.

    Rocky Marciano fought a few of this type and knocked them out Marciano was relentless had stamina was athletic even though he is always looked on as crude the guy was an athelete who played baseball and football you can see it in his movement if you know anything about playing sports ....AA ON THE OTHERHAND LOOKS LIKE A DAMN STIFF by comparison

    NOW Abraham has shitty footwork. All of the sudden. :lol: I've only been saying it for YEARS. Glad we're all on Earth. Now.

    We basically got 10 of 12 rounds. Abraham could have turned it up earlier but I'm not making any judgement on him yet. I still think he walks through Froch.

    Lack of Class, Humility, LasiK Surgery, and Depth Perception. He has great difficulty realizing his opponent has fallen 3ft beneath him. Apparently he was able to see well enough though, that was one hell of an accurate punch. He also needs to either pull his trunks up higher or stop deflecting attempted body blows towards his groin (that's simply not that bright).:bbb

    Serious Question. Doesn't Arthur Abraham fight with a medical advantage that's very pertinent to his craft? I'm referring to those titanium plates that reenforce his jaw. Since everyone else has to deal with what "nature" provided them. We all know that the chin / jaw line is the "lightswitch" to the powerplant. Hit the switch, the lights go out. Damage the switch and the lights begin to flicker. It's going to take a substantial shot to turn out his lights. Just a thought...:bbb

    We all knew Abraham was not that great the day he lost to Miranda...

    I've been saying this for two and a half years! Perhaps some people are coming back to their senses now, but for the last year and a half Arthur Abraham was easily the most over rated fighter on the planet.

    Both Dirrell and Ward are big talents, far better than what Tsyzu fought in the Sharmba Mitchell type fighters.

    Low work rate

    Poor stamina

    Has no answer for a good jab

    Very poor footwork

    Does not have the ability to time a guy with fast hands

    Lunges in with his head and shoulders out beyond his feet

    Defense consists entirely of hiding behind his guard

    Falls apart emotionally when an opponent handles his power.

    Poor conditioning creates serious issues with body punches.

    Same stuff I've been saying since 2007!

    Lack of speed with hands and feet. He's also renowned for being a slow starter and against quality guys you can't afford to do nothing for the first 8 rounds.
