    As overrated I think Abraham is, I can't help but thinking Taylor while leading on the cards (even in Germany) will find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

    I have a feeling he will do that. Its Jermain 'mother****in' Taylor he will almost certainly find a way to lose

    to many ifs ... with false conclusions

    - the fact is Abraham is unproven at that weight
    - the other fact is Dirrell is still young and future is in front of him
    (nobody knows if he is going to finish as real deal or gate keeper)

    so I think you are just looking for attention here.

    Seeing as Abraham has only beat Miranda at 168, it doesn't say as much as you want to think.

    Look, these triangle theories do not work. Taylor could beat Abraham, Abraham could then go and KO Froch. Boxing can work in strange ways. Pavlik beat Taylor, Taylor beat Hopkins, Pavlik surely beats Hopkins right...?

    A beats B beats C does not work, nor does giving huge credit to one fighter for the win of somebody else.

    If Froch beats Dirrell he deserves credit for beating a talented prospect, that on paper has some qualities that ought to give Froch a hard nights work. You'll get a few negative types that will question the win, but there has never been a win that hasn't received bad press on ESB. You can beat Godzilla and not get credit from some.

    Abraham is somewhat unproven at 168, but he will KO Taylor late in the fight. Taylor will wear down as always, and he will be throwing combos and hitting Abraham's arms (hopefully people won't actually think Taylor is scoring) then Abraham will explode with offensive combos that shake up Taylor. Taylor will wear down and get KO'ed. It should be a great, entertaining fight though.

    Lol. Good point, well made. I hope it doesn't happen though, I'd love to see Jermain do well in this, I got a lot of respect for the man.

    Taylor/Abraham: If Jermain wins, I will say, "Hot damn! My boy ain't shot to **** after all!!" Abraham is taking a HUGE step up in class. I have maintained for a very long time that his style and technics only work because he mostly fights hobos. If Jermain wins, it only means the losses and brutal knock outs did not ruin him. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Froch/Dirrell: The key names here are Zuniga and Oganov. Zuniga beat Oganov up WAY worse than Dirrel did, and he did it while Oganov was still undefeated. I'm just trrying to illustrate the point that I think Dirrell is in way over his head. Froch SHOULD beat him. If Dirrell wins, I'm not sure if that would mean Froch is not what some claim, or Dirrell is way better than I think he is. I'd have to form an opinion based on the actual fight.
