    They pretty much don't share a single quality. They are practically polar opposite fighters, Abraham is a cagey defensive fighter who throws very little, Andrade is a wide open aggressive come forward fighter with poor defense and an awesome work rate.

    That is why he is a poor man's Abraham lol... Both have superb chins, both have heavy hands...only one has great defense while the other doesn't.

    Bute never had problems with power before because he is just starting to fight guys with a pulse. You know how the Canadian fighters are. Just look at the recent amount of ex-champions relieved of their titles in the past year lol. The reason why you think this is a 12 year old comment is because you are a Bute fan. When the time comes...if and when these two ever get into the ring with each other, I'll be glad to share with you why I think Abraham decapitates Bute.

    I think the catch weight aa fought at is the absolute BEST I have EVER seen Abraham. It looked like he was more comfortable, had more speed(in my opinion), I felt he was moving around quicker is what I meant, and the POWER, my goodness the first knockdown against miranda, if you notice, was a quick straight right he did not even extend!
    AA vs Bute: Am I the only one that thinks this won't last more then 7-9 rounds. Butes jabs are not even going to faze aa's defense, Bute was surprisingly easy to hit against andrade, AA does not waste punches, he has an awesome connect rate, p4p power! If I were Bute I would stay away from AA if AA were to jump to 168.

    I think you're a 12 year old boy because you're lolling all the time, especially when it's not funny. More, you're using words like decapitating, always exagerating. You're only talking black and white. That's a childish attitude. I hope you're not an adult.

    That's a comment I can live with even if I disagree. And you may be right!

    Some Canadian champions (Alcine and Molitor) have lost their belt because they defended it against top fighters. Alcine lost to Santos, one the best three of his division. Molitor lost in a unification bout. That's not the case for Abraham. You're ridiculous when you say Bute just starts to fight people with a pulse. His progression is one of the fastest in terms of challenge. He has fought 3 top ten in the last two years. That's more than any SMW. You can convince me Kessler and Taylor have more padded record but not Arthur Abraham, who is the guy facing people with no pulse. When will Abraham faces Pavlik? Mundine? Taylor is not a MW anymore, Abraham did not face him. He preferred to face Sébastien Demers, a local boxer put at the 15 spot only to be destroyed by Abraham after the first Miranda fight. That was a disgrace. Look at the 5 last Abraham fights and tell me his opponents are amazing. Kessler doesn't even want Miranda cause he's just a bum. He's the best win on Abraham's record! He's a German protected fighter.

    See, I can do the same you do if I want. There is a little of truth in what I just wrote but I think Abraham is a great fighter. And I would love a fight against Bute. because that would be a great fight, win or lose.

    I think so. His power at 166 was impressive. I think he could potentially be better at 168 than at 160.

    At 168 i only favor Kessler over him. All other fights are at least 50/50 or in AA´s favor...

    He looks big enough to move up.Ive been impressed by him so far and think he can do well at 168.He has shown good power and taken the shots he has been hit with well.I see him as a future champion at 168.

    Abraham will carry his power up to 168 but his lack of height should be a concerned of his when going up against the top dogs at 168.
