Is Arthur Abraham a bigger challenge to Pavlik than Jerman Taylor?

[RichCCFC]

A lot of mixed feelings on this one.

I personally think that Taylor and Abraham are very close.

It's a different challenge.

Abraham won't do as well as Taylor at forcing his fight on pavlik, but Abraham can take more punishment and is better defensively.

I think Abraham hits harder and sets his punches up a little better, though he doesn't have the handspeed advantage that Taylor had

[-Swizzy-]

those are 2 significantly different styled fighters but taylor is the more difficult challenge.

[Silencers]

Taylor was probably the more difficult challenge but Abraham will still be a tough opponent to beat.

[GunStar]

Taylor is not going back down to 160, so how can Taylor be a challenge, now. The only way Taylor can be a challenge is if they fight again at 168, which Taylor will win again just like he did at 166.

the taylor of teh second fight by a landslide

Abraham has a very tight defense, he manages to somehow fit his entire upper body behind his two arms. Pavlik would find it hard to hit him with that big Right hand.
Abraham also hits hard, personally i think he hit harder than Taylor so it's feasable to KD him like Taylor did. Not to mention Abraham has heart as he went the distance a broken jaw, he's sporting a good chin too. I think Abraham represents the bigger challange
