Would Abraham be weight drained if........

[MANGLER]

There's been **** on here of AA havin trouble makin 160 already, so he has that excuse built in if they fight at MW. But Pavlik couldn't be blamed for that if AA signs a ****in contract to fight him at 160. Pavlik should get full cred for a win if he gets it.

Yeah he should get full credit, but he likely wont.

Who is the favourite in this one? From what I read on here it seems Abraham is anyway

(personally I think Pavlik is far better)

[Silkstone]

But surely if he loses to Abraham he will only have been beaten by one elite middleweight. If Abraham loses to Pavlik he will also only have been beaten by one elite middleweight. Does that mean Abraham is finished as well?

Ah, that's quite a good point mate. However, I don't believe that Abraham will be finished like Pavlik. I think AA has some intangibles which Pavlik lacks. Don't get me wrong I like Pavlik, he's one of the favourite fighters in my sig. However, I think that Pavlik's confidence was rocked so much by his fight with B-Hop (which I blieve was evident in the Rubio fight), that if he loses this, he's not going to believe in himself for a long time. Granted, he's still young enough to potentially bounce back from the loss. However, what I was trying to say is that Pavlik should be fighting on a much higher level, just like he did against JT. If he wins this, he's on track to be with the top of his division, if not, I don't think he'll get the money fights, or the opportunities unless he becomes somebody's mandatory. At the end of the day, I just think AA could afford the loss more than Kelly.

Pavlik should get full credit for beating him since everyone is crying out for this fight saying AA can beat him.

he'd be weight drained. No one gets full credit for a win on this board...no one

The one time someone got FULL FULL credit in a serious fight was Margarito -vs- Cotto. Ultimately that full credit was short lived.

"Pavlik didn't win the fight. Abraham was a damn zombie in there could you not see that? Pavlik is a punk for letting Abraham fight him in that shape."


^^^^ That is my post ready and waiting


Poor Pavlik!LOL. The guy just is not liked. Not too many fans of his on the board. Myself and a handful of others.

There was a poll a while back and I think Pavlik was favoured. I'm not sure though.

I got Pavlik as well.

The poll gives credit to Pavlik but it will still seem like NSB is hating if Pavlik wins b/c the 3 or 4 haters that give no one credit will each make 10 threads and hunt down any thread relating to pavlik or abraham to spread their special "insight" on the fight.

[Pullcounter]

Pavlik beat him? Or would he get credit?

WHAT THE ****???

I thought abraham was a career 160 lber???? how can people excuse a loss to pavlik w/ a ****** ass weight drained theory???
