who is better pound for pound? TIM BRADLEY vs ARTHUR ABRAHAM

And you dont think Taylor's skill was above decent either? He didnt exactly outbrawl or outwork one of the best technical boxers ever in Hopkins did he? His boxing skills combined with youth and athletic ability got him through a very close fight.

 

Abraham.

 

I never said Taylor merely had decent skills, you said that. Now you seem to be trying to make a case that his skills are above decent.

 

Here is one for you, Both wins are controversial :yep

 

Taylor > Witter
Gevor > Holt
Simon > Peterson

Bradley/Campbell was a no contest.

 

Here's a tip, all his losses came by a very close fight he was enroute to winning except for a huge punch that ended it for him towards end of the fight. Matter of lasting seconds longer than man would be rated top 5 p4p today.

Bradley has never faced anyone with p4p punching power of those guys...could he last the full 12 rounds too?

Taylor has shown himself to be on their level atleast. A shot guy wouldnt be winning the fight until the 12th round in the final seconds.

 

He was winning against Arthur? atsch

 

That's actually only true of one of his four losses.

Abraham - Taylor was going to lose on the cards.
Pavlik 1 - Round seven
Pavlik 2 - lost on points.

 

I was gonna say except Arthur but couldnt be arsed. Besides, some people actually had it scored for Taylor so its no obscene.

 

Yeah, from round four on in the Abraham fight Taylor wasn't even close to in it.

 

I thought he put up a very good fight against Pavlik in the 2nd fight. Coulda had Pavlik out of there in the first. He wasnt loosing too badly to Abraham.

 

aa was up on the score by 3 or 4 rounds going into the 12th round. open round scoring was being used. did you miss that man?

 

Exactly, isnt this Bradley-Abraham?

As it stands, Bradley doesnt have a single fighter on his resume anywhere close to Taylor.
