He was 159 in his last fight... he's struggling with weight.

He will take Taylor on a 168...

I don't really care that much for AA. I look forward to seeing how he does in this tournament, because he just hasn't impressed me that much. I think Taylor can beat him, if he can keep from getting knocked the **** out in the last 2 rounds.

I don't think there's any way Taylor wins by KO/TKO. It's AA by KO, or Taylor by decision, imo.

He beat the best of the rest in a weak division, only because Sturm and Pavlik didn't want any of it. That's not his fault those fights didn't get made.

His resume is better than you think if you follow some of the guys he fought. (all top level europe and some other pretty big names)

Any middle wouldn't mind having Ikeke, Eastman, Gevor, Ian Gardner, Shannan Taylor, Miranda, and Ayala on their records. It's not like any of those guys ****** or anything.

Yeah I like Abraham and realize his potential which is why I think somewhat highly of him, but some ppl in these forums call fighters with better wins hypejobs and praise Abraham.

taylor is done...
never ever put him inside the ring with a hard puncher..
the result would just be the same as his last fight..

pavlik-abraham makes more sense..

true, but personally i dont think hes been tested against someone like the calibre of taylor. bad stamina or not taylor has some good skills

You will see the real Abraham at 168.

The thing is I think he punches as hard if not harder than Pavlik and Froch.

I admire Taylor for his rematches but when it counts lately, he's just not there.

I don't buy his weight struggle at all.

He's 5'9 and not all that physically impressive.

I can see if he were tall and heavilly muscled..but he's not either.
