    IS it just me? becuz I think Abraham is overated....

    so what he knocked out Miranda .. he arguably lost(got his ass kicked) the first time they faced.. and i think Miranda might be damaged goods after that demolition by Pavlik and in all honesty, Miranda was overated himself but a pretty good fighter not just this monster everyone was saying....

    Abrahams style is very easy to outbox. he stands there with a high guard takes shots on his gloves and looks to counter.. hes slow.. a guy like calzaghe would win every round against this guy.. Pavlik would shoot straight rights through the high guard because that guard is more successful against hooks and pavliks bread and butter is the straight right..

    Abraham hasnt shown me nothing in terms of this great boxing skill and a reason to believe he can take on any of the elite.. he's slow with not enough head movement.. I dont see the big deal about this guy.. As soon as hes beaten he will disappea and everyone will forget about him even those who hype him to beat pavlik and calzaghe

        How dare you compare Winky to AA?

        AA's is pretty good but Winky's defense is 1,000,000x tighter. Notice how Winky keeps his elbows tucked in much more, AA's elbows stick out on the sides.

          It's not easy to outbox him, it may look that way because of the way he fights and he's not slow, he's not the fastest guy out there but he does have decent speed, his high guard is also very effective, he normally gets caught when he throws his own shots because he sometimes drops his hands when he punches, he sometimes gets off balance when he's throwing punches too.

            he stands right there stationary a fighter with a good 'boxer' mentality who can throw a combination and quickly get out of the way ie calzaghe would smoke this guy for 12 rounds.. his movement sucks and hes madd stiff

              It's really not that easy because he has pretty good footwork and is accurate with his shots, his timing is good as well.

              Calzaghe would beat him though.
