Abraham pound-for-pound rankings

[al caPWN]

In the history of Abrahams, where does a certain middleweight from Armenia rank? Let's take a look.

1. Abraham of modern religious fame

Lived 175 years. Got laid a lot. Plays a role in Christianity, Islam and *******. His lengthy stay in the history of Abrahams, prolonged time on top (of women) and ability to make an impact in multiple religions makes him #1.

2. Abraham Lincoln

Famed president. Freed ******. Could sell a fight (see "Address, Gettysburg"). Beat the Confederacy. Alas, toward the end of his career he ended up as a shot fighter. Or just shot. Still #2 on our list.

3. Abe Simpson

Grandpa has been a player in the world of Abrahams for some 20 years, despite being visibly over the hill. No Abraham rocks a fez better than Grandpa Simpson. #3, clearly.

4. Abe Vigoda

Need I say more?

5. Arthur Abraham

No longer as cool now that the Smurfs don't come to the ring with him. Number-two middleweight in the world. Respected fighter, but has a long way to go before he even comes close to supplanting Abe Vigoda.

This gentleman is named Arthur Abraham, and he's the IBF middleweight champion, whatever the hell that means anymore. If you're looking at his hat and thinking, "Gee, that kind of looks like a Smurf hat," well, you're right: That's exactly what it is.

You see, Abraham is a boxer who is obsessed with The Smurfs. He calls himself "The Smurf," and he — seriously — actually uses The Smurfs theme song as his ring entrance music, which, without question, is the lamest goddamned entrance humanly possible, save for maybe anything by Creed.

And now The Smurfs are pissed. Those who own the rights to The Smurfs theme song have demaned Abraham to cease-and-desist playing the song before fights, and they'd like him to lose the hat too.

Those with the copyright for The Smurfs were initially alerted to Abraham's act when they noticed all his knockouts ended with his opponent being kicked out of the ring, landing on his head and straightening his glasses with a shrug.

I'm jealous of the man who got rich for coming up with the lyrics:

"La la la la la la la la la la la."

We're getting sidetracked from the thread. When will Arthur Abraham step up his game and challenge some of the other pound-for-pound Abrahams from history?

I can see it. A fight against Vigoda, live on pay-per-view from Germany.

Personally I think he's being distracted by his battle to supplant the mythical "King Arthur of Camelot" in our knowledge of popular legend. There are only so many quasi-historical figures its possible for one boxer to take out.
