Top rated super middleweight Arthur Abraham saw Wladimir Klitschko's recent defense of the WBO/IBO/IBF titles against Samuel Peter and called the rematch a "disgrace." Speaking with reporter Alexander Pavlov, Abraham said Klitschko needs to face opponents who actually come to fight and make an honest effort in the ring.
"It is very embarrassing and shameful when a man like Peter goes to fight for the championship belt. Klitschko's opponent must be well-prepared. This is one of the conditions of a championship fight. But the assumption that Peter came out to fight was disastrous. This does not demonstrate a fight even in amateur boxing," Abraham said.
Abraham gave a few heavyweight names that he feels Klitschko should be fighting, instead of facing opponents like Sam Peter.
"For example, Alexander Povetkin of Russia, British boxer David Haye, Odlanier Solis of Cuba, and Nikolai Valuev, if he recovers from injury," Abraham said.
