    personally i think abraham will get beaten by pavlik, and pavlik would lose to joe. I can see arthur absorbing a lot of punishment from joe without really doing a great deal, maybe hitting him with a few of those wild counters, then losing a decision. Saying that i havent seen much of abraham aside from his fights with miranda and his destruction of wayne el****

      Calzaghe by decision. Abraham is a bit too inactive to beat Calzaghe.

        Calzaghe. Do I even have to explain why?

        OK, here goes. Abraham is basically Mikkel Kessler with a tad more power and a tad more un-orthodox style. That being said: Kessler would also mop the floor with him and Pavlik would get a TKO on him.

            Abraham is about as unlike Mikkel Kessler as it is possible to be while still being a European middleweight-range boxer. Their styles are completely, completely different.

            Kessler would beat Abraham quite easily though, there I agree.

              Calzaghe, unfortunatly Abraham's high guard and low activity mean 100+ punches a round and alot of movement. It's a really bad stylistic match-up for Abraham.

                Kessler and Abraham fight nothing alike whatsoever. Abraham stays in a defense shell and waits for the opponent to open and opens the guard to unleash some concussive power. Kessler is an upright, textbook boxer. Jab, Jab, Straight. He's got a hell of an uppercut on the inside as well.
