    Maybe its because he will rather die in the ring then give up. Watch the first miranda fight and you'll see how much punishment he is willing to take. I dont know any fighter in he's weight class who would go trough that

    Zuniga wanted to fight him, and we know exactly what happened there.

    Winky wanted to fight him, but Sauerland low balled the **** out of Winky.

    Pavlik wanted to fight him, but Sauerland demanded a $2 million dollar guarantee.

    Victories over the great Shannon Talor and Lujaun Simon hardly adds up to wiping out the middleweight division. There were better fighters who wanted to fight, but AA willingly took the path of least resistance everytime he had a choice.

    My man, Tommy Morrison KOed Joe Hipp with a broken jaw, broken hands and fractured orbital bone. He didn't just "last" his way to a german decision, he fought his ass of and knocked the MFer out. I have seen it live before. AA isn't special for not quitting like most fighters do today, he just did his job.:bbb

    Clearly the case since he joined the SMW tournament, right? :rofl

    And I quote Pavlik: "Let them bash eachother to death for peanuts"

    Fulgencio Zuniga had a title eliminator lined up, but his opponent pulled out due to an injury. Instead of making Zuniga the mandatory the IBF allowed AA to make a voluntary defense against the great Elvin Ayala.

    Sauerland and Abraham had a choice. They could give a still fairly dangerous Zuniga the title shot he deserved, or they could find another opponent. They found Ayala. That act alone tells me AA does not deserve his reputatoin or ranking.

    Actually, it was Sauerland that wanted a Winky Wright fight if Pavlik couldn't make it.

    The are guys Arthur avoided so he could take the big fights. You know --- like the time he fought the guy Joval knocked out 3 months earlier. Or, those times he took the really dangerous challenges from McKart's left overs.

    booradley is only hating because Pavlik was running scared from Abraham. Everybody knows it.

    What an ignorant post and ignorant poster you are. First you claim he is overrated and it seems like other then you, Hermit and Booradley, EVERYONE else who has posted on him being "overrated" disagree with you and the other AA bashers, from the looks of all the other posters who have commented on your thread, everyone is in agreement of him being rated where he is and not "overrated".

    Second, WHO did you want him to fight at MW other then Pavlik? "pin drops".

    And as far as your statement above about him not fighting "great opponents", I guess 50% of the Ring magazine Top ten SMW's are NOT great according to you??????
    GTFO man! You have proudly and efficiently continued the title "TROLL" norm at ESB.
