Arthur Abraham is super middleweight Kingpin!

Abraham v Kessler in December?

Abraham is strong and all, but he is kind of short yet he has no inside game, all of the top guys at 168 beat him easily. Ward, Froch, Kessler, hell even shook ass Dirrell would beat him again. He has a shot at Bute just because of his chin but I wouldn't bet on it. Dude is nothing special, Stieglitz was taylor made for him and he didn't even do that well, some people think he lost. Calm down son, AA isn't much.

:omfg: But, but wasn't he already dominated by 2 of the best fighters there & being given a boxing lesson by a 3rd??

In both cases I think they left because of problems making the weight. Though you're right they could have surely stayed at 160 with more discipline like Hopkins did. Though I think Pavlik is a bit bigger then Hopkins. Since he used to weigh in well under the limit like Hagler. Even into his late 30's.

Shut up you ****ing ***. Abraham is useless. What a tool. lol!!! put down of the week!!! i can literally see the venom dripping from your words!! yeah AA did ok and earned himself another few paydays but any fighter who utilises the peek-a-boo defence will be found out against a tough boxer who knows what 'angles' means. as for kessler i think AA vs kess would be areally tough fight. kess for all his talents doesn't move his head and doesn't know utilise his feet to create and attack at angles. mostly because his speed/power is so good that he can blast through his oppositions defence but i think his tendency to stay right in front of his opponent would make this a really interesting fight. still think kess takes it though.

Good performance by AA, even though i expected he would knock Stieglitz out. But still, this was one of the better performances from Arthur i have seen. Not to much looping punches and the workrate was a bit better. Of course his workrate should be even higher but AA is just not able to go an high workrate. That will never change. But im happy he won this fight so we will see more fights from Arthur. Of course there are 2-3 people in this weight class that Abraham propably would never beat, but hes right behind them. But at least he tried it unlike most other euro-fighters who are cherry-picking all the time. there is no need for Arthur to fight guys like Ward or froch again, we know that he cant beat such guys. But hes still in the Top 5 at Super-middle and that is something he can be proud of.

He's no kingpin, he just beat a paper champ, and didn't look impressive doing it.

How is he kingpin when there are two guys in the division who are universally ranked higher and have outclassed him?

Good last stand for Abraham, but meh. Arthur's days as a top fighter virtually over, he just earned himself a relevant fight or two. Kessler-Abraham makes sense. Can Kessler make 168?

Ive seen some crazy things in boxing. If AA puts his heart into it, and ive seen the level of heart he has...he can do it. He's a great fighter, Im so happy he's champion again. Im just so damn happy right now. Shut up you ****ing ***. Abraham is useless. What a tool.

Ward, Froch and Dirrell already whooped his ass.

lol Abraham is Euro Trash...he can stick there and fight nobodies....lol how the fk can someone even have considered Stieglitz World CHampion when he got absolutely destroyed by a US fringe contender in Librado Andrade.........Sorry but Euro Level fighters and same for Abraham....Abraham's attempt at A grade fighters all FAILED, so sorry, he doesn't make it anywhere in the ratings.

I'm gonna assume that he left 160 cuz he couldn't make weight anymore? It's the natural progression of the sport, fighters move up once they out-grow their previous division. The problem is, he can't become a top guy because he has a limited skill-set and hasn't seemed to improve. I wont dispute all of that. AA is just a very tough son of a ***** with alot of heart, he punches hard to. Winning that fight against Miranda with a broken jaw was a classic, most fighters would have quit...Arthur didnt. He's a true warrior.

He should have never left 160, Pavlik made that mistake to. If Pavlik and AA fight Id really be ****ed up, cuz i like both. I'm gonna assume that he left 160 cuz he couldn't make weight anymore?

That far? lol. Abraham is @168 now, he needs to stop relying on his power and toughness cuz it won't be enough. Raise the work-rate and learn how to counter. He should have never left 160, Pavlik made that mistake to. If Pavlik and AA fight Id really be ****ed up, cuz i like both.

5 years ago AA would have KO'd him in 5 rounds. That far? lol. Abraham is @168 now, he needs to stop relying on his power and toughness. Raise the work-rate and learn how to counter instead of hiding behind your high guard. I find AA irritating to watch cuz I don't watch boxing only for the KO moments. Abraham is a highlight reel fighter to me, nothing wrong with that. But, it's obvious why he isn't a top 168lber.

stiegletz was the senchenko of the super middleweights(just kidding no one is that bad) 5 years ago AA would have KO'd him in 5 rounds.
