    I just dont understand why this guy is built up to be a beast or anything to be honest. He beat an undisciplined taylor! He went life n death with lajuan simon! Mahir Oral had him troubled a few times, he wasnt gr8 against pitmann.

    Arthur Abraham is the definition of 'punchers chance' ! hes in for a hiding in the next round believe me i cant wait for him to be beaten and when it happens everyone on here will be like o he was just all hype typical European fighter etc...

    How do ya beat AA? first, you can't be shot to **** (Taylor,Marquez.) Second, you have to be smart enough to step over and throw right hand bombs into the side of his head. there are lots of guys who qualify.

    Calzaghe, maybe Kessler, because both can adapt and are very disciplined fighters. Both have a defense and iron (Calz) to very good (Kessler) chins. Both are very self-confident.

    This said - as always - even against them I give AA a puncher's chance. Against Kessler this puncher's chance is not that bad. I don't see Dirrell winning against him. Once he felt Arthur's power he'll try to get out of the ring. Froch has no defense and will get KTFO.

    AA's haters underrate him. His style is akward, but it works for him. His ropeadope defense is good, and his chin solid. His punching speed is underrated (The straight right that KOd Taylor was in fact fast) and his punching power is in the same league with Benn and Jackson. Other things which should not be overlooked are his huge self-confidence (he still has the "0") and his very good coach (ring intelligence). He is my favorite to win the tournament.

    I think Bute has the best style to beat him... but in the tournament?? I really dont know. Probably Kessler but the fact is you will ALWAYS have a poor connect percentage if you punch to the head.

    Calzaghe would have been perfect to beat Abraham. Kessler will beat him.
