    I think Taylor still has something to give. Although I think Abraham will be a BEAST at 168. The guy is a tank.

      as the polls show it looks set to be either a taylor UD or a Abraham kO/TKO.

      Big questions over Taylor's chin and stamina. If Abraham is able to land then I see a KO for him. If Taylor is smart then I would think he can outbox Abraham.

        I picked taylor by KO but I meant Arthur, I see Taylor giving up/ gassing out in the mid to late rounds

          cosign,

          and i've never trusted his stamina.... AA has a great D and throws nice combos... he'lls top him mid to late

            I voted Taylor by decision, but I have to admit thats more like wishful thinking. Taylor should be allowed a tune up or else I think he'll hang em up if he loses to Abraham. If he can bounce back though Taylor can become very relevant in the sport again, maybe get a rematch with Froch too.

            Im afraid that if Taylor wants to win this one he'll need a new trainer. Judging by his last three fights I got the idea Taylor is becoming less versatile and a bit lazy/too comfortable with Ozell Nelson. If he'd get a Mayweather in his corner I'd put money on him beating Abraham. Not very likely to happen though...

              Another matchup that Taylor could technically win by outboxing the opponent, he proved how good a boxer he was early on against Froch... but his recent performances against other big hitters are not encouraging, Abraham by late stoppage.

                Hardly an issue of his chin, because he went around the ring for about a minute while Froch was keeping up the assault and was stunned, it was a clear shot through his weak guard that put him down like 95% of people on this earth in that situation, and he didn't go down in the end even after the heavy shots.

                  if Tayloer fights big he could get a Late KO or a UD.

                  I voted for Tayler by KO still believe in him. But recently my predicition is wrong so hopefully Taylor would win to start my winning streak

                    Like most people, I think Taylor will win the early rounds.

                    I don't think Taylor's chin is that bad. He's been dropped by two hard punchers when very tired. I don't think AA does enough to wear him down, and I think Taylor will be able to get through the later rounds without getting caught by anything big enough to do him in.

                      everyone is dogging his chin.... personally i think its his defense more than his chin thats bad.... if he could/would block a little better he wouldn't eat so many punches!
