What does Froch's handling of Bute tell us about Abraham?

    He does have an iron chin and is a very very hard puncher.

    Which of the two was the most important reason why Froch did not handle AA like he did Bute?

    He punches hard and Froch was forced to respect that not to get surprised and go do the chicken dance or even get out cold. Froch felt safe and confident keeping AA at the back of his stiff jab, he was very confident he can outbox him after he felt him in the first rounds, against Bute Froch knew from the beggining he needs to do something special and can't outbox Bute. Lucian didn't trow many power punches, trying to lure Froch in. Froch grown in confidence and came in blazing.

    Why would Frochs handling of Bute say anything about Abraham. They are entirely different boxers.

    It tells us that Froch beat 2 boxers with completely different styles.
    (One guy loves the high guard the other don't)

    Abraham covered up and barely any clean head shots got through.

    Anyway, Froch was content to stay at range and box. Would've been a stupid idea to go to war with Abraham, even with one of the most solid chins in the game.

    Completely different fights, can't really draw any meaningful conclusions.

    Well, you did anyway.

    Because it would be stupid to go to all-out attack on Abraham like he did to Bute.

    I agree with that thought because Abraham really has an exceptional chin and power. Undoubtedly the hardest puncher in the division and probably P4P in boxing in general.

    But it also tells us that Bute HAS TO make Froch respect him early on if they fight again.
