    Care to run me a list, top down. I'll "assume" Kessler down. ;) For me the picture is a little muddy. Depending on what Taylor shows, it would be a toss up with him and Bute at 2/3 for me at this point. Andrade is like Abraham to me. How do you rank a guy that needs a KO to win? It is hard to say when that may or may NOT happen. Had he got the last second KO over Bute, does that really make him a better figther over all?

    I used to be his biggest hater. But I realized he is a smart fighter that thinks a lot in the ring. Plus he has a good chin and good power. More than enough to tangle with the whos who of 168. I think he could beat Kessler for the simple fact that Kessler has no balls.

    I don't know about "no balls" but I believe he could beat Kessler because Kessler may not be able to take a good body shot.

    Jan(DK) took me task a while back for failing to distinguish between Kessler's actions and Palle's. I think we are now seeing the difference elaborated quite nicely. Palle has had a different agenda than Kessler of late.

    The only fighters at smw that I thought would beat aa were kessler, jtaylore and andrade:
    1. I have doubts about Kessler, only because of his last two fights against a couple of bums. The fight against sartison and haulsler, if I remember correctly, against hausler he was hurt with a body shot. What I am trying to say is he is being matched with complete taxi drivers that should not be in the ring with a kessler type calibre boxer.
    2. Jtaylor ONLY because of his athleticsm, he has average power, absolutely no killer instinct and looks conufused in the rng at times. Watching Jtaylor Lacy was all I needed to conclude aa beats jtaylor, and jtaylors people will NOT match him up with aa anytime soon.
    3. Andrade because of his chin and size. He is a big smw that has decent pop, no athleticism, and a defintion of a headhunter. The reason aa beats him is he is prone to getting hit WAY to much. I started analyzing and NO ONE I repeat NO ONE will go 12 rounds with aa getting hit as much as andrade gets hit.

    There is Bute, I have absolutely no concerns about this matchup, I just unfortuantely don't feel to high on Bute, especially after the andrade fight. His style is confusing, he started being the boxer against andrade and did a 360 becoming a banger.
    In my opinion, the absolute BEST thing AA can do is move up to 168, and YOU HEARD IT HERE FOLKS, HE WILL do better at 168 then at 160.

    ARTHUR ABRAHAM THE MOST FEARED MAN IN BOXING TODAY!

    WTF does this have to do with what I posted? Nothing that I can see. You don't really need a 'hook' to make a comment. Just hit the "post reply" button on the left side instead of the "quote" button of an unrelated post.

    he is an elite fighter he will do well but i feel he would of done be more effective at middleweight if he can still make weight without too much strain
    but i also think he would have too much trouble with kessler and bute
