Arthur Abraham vs. Jermain Taylor @ 168

I am going with taylor here! If he knows that this is his last chance he will winn a pretty easy fight!

i'm going to say that taylor beats AA up...but AA knocks his 24 hour ass out...the boy never closes...

JT is not done. It is ridiculous how quickly people put a guy down and to such an extent, after a loss. He was winning on the cards and stupidly got KO'd aswell. Abraham is not as tall, doesn't have the reach, isn't as busy, and not the same kind of pressure fighter that would tire Jermain to the same extent. I think Jermains not stupid to not be working on his stamina, he must after all be livid with himself for getting so far and losing for that reason, again. Ok he might only improve his stamina a bit, but it's enough for Abraham. Very interesting match up, all comes down to Abrahams tactics on the night. I give the slight edge to Jermain on points for the reasons outlined. Could change my mind though.

Let's not forget what Hopkins did to Pavlik after everyone thought he was shot.:bounce: I'd love to see JT upset this one too.. I mean 2 of his losses he knocked his opponent down and could've easily ended it, but he ran out of gas, also Pavlik II was a draw on my cards tbh could have gone either way. So if he can keep up the pace for 12 rounds this time and fight AA with a solid gameplan, a JT comeback isn't impossible.

At 168 Abraham is gonna be a beast, he'd knock Taylor out

AA owns him. Taylor is done.

I'm probably one of the few who gives Taylor a chance in this fight. Yes AA is strong but he's not a pressure fighter and Taylor's chin is OK as long as he's not gassed and taking shot after unnecessary shot. Plus AA looked like garbage in his last fight and was stunned by a guy who is hardly a big puncher. Not to mention AA has trouble with taller fighters and JT is taller and longer and likes to keep the fight at the end of his jab. I'd like to see this fight happen, but not before JT gets a decent tune-up win under his belt. The guy is overdue for a soft touch more than anyone in the sport. Fighting Pavlik, Lacy, and Froch back to back is already extreme; tacking Abraham to the end of that list would be ridiculous.

Taylor is that rare type of fighter that only comes along every once in a while. Yes, Taylor has some good things on his resume, but the one thing that will forever hold him back now as a fighter...He has no gas tank. Sure there are alot of fighters that have stamina problems, but like I said, Taylor is a rare breed... When Taylor runs out of gas, it seems as if everything he has ever done, or have been trained to do as a boxer, leaves him. Footwork leaves. Head movement leaves. Throwing punches leaves. Chin leaves. Any will to win leaves. When his tank is on empty, he is a KO waiting to happen...I see the samething in this fight. AA KO.

JT has let me down too many times recently Im going with AA by brutal KO JT just busted a Fernando Vargas and fought those tough fights back to back to back to back way too early in his career

AA is too damn powerful for JT. The guy is scaringly has dynamite power.

:lol1: @ Natas.........real good match-up.......JT should be able to punch through the high guard but Abraham looked strong ass hell at 166 in the rematch with Miranda......Abraham might be too strong for JT and stops him late IMO

Abraham knocks him out IMO. He hits very hard. However I do not think Taylor would tire much in this fight, because Abe is not a busy fighter like a Pavlik or a Froch he doesn't wear you down. He fights in a similar way to Clottey.

Well, Jermaine Taylor's biggest weakness is white people. Although Abraham is Armenian, his pale skin is light enough for Taylor to believe he's fighting a purely white man, thus getting himself KO'd sometime in the 12th round, after looking brilliant for most of the fight and even knocking Abraham down once or twice early on. This is pure WIN.

Taylors done, he lost to carl ****ing froch for christ sakes... :Flush: I can't back Taylor no more, he should have beaten Froch. Hell, if Taylor wasn't such a mental midget probably have KO'd froch when he had him hurt in like the 3rd of 4rth round. That whole fight pissed me off!

Who wins and how? Vote and discuss. I'm going to back Taylor again.. Too athletic. Out works him and this time he devises a plan not too fade in the last 2 rounds again.
