Am I the only one who thinks Abraham beats almost everyone in the tournament?

    Arthur Abraham? the one that got his jaw broken by Miranda? the one that got two of his ribs broken by a past it Raul Marquez? the one that lost nearly half of the rounds to Elvin Ayala and had trouble with guys like LaJuan Simon and Oral?

    dont get me wrong, Abraham has power. more than enough to get the job done with any of the guys in the super six, which is what makes him interesting in these matchups.
    but this is a guy whos defense is just a generic high guard with no variations or head movement thrown in, who sits off 2/3s of the round and wins them with a flurry in the last minute, and who has very little defense for body shots.
    Abraham is basically a 1 minute fighter. so many people have beaten him most the round, but then lost it because he simply does too much damage in that one explosion. fighters have figured that out, but just dont have the talent or ability to capitalize on it.

      Abraham is definatley solid as a Middleweight, but i get the feeling the extra weight will make him a bit slower and easier to beat and he might rely on his power too much to get him through fights. Hopefully i'm proved wrong because i'd love for him to go on and win it.

      Jermain Taylor's style is perfect to beat Abraham. But he doesn't have the stamina/chin to beat Abraham imo.

              JT can win it if he does not choke...

                  I'm with Blackirish here,AA starts too slow to beat those strong fighters at 168!!In his last fight,he got hit alot & when he does he backs straight back!!With the bigger guys at 168,he won't be able to start slow,because he may be sleeping before he tries to rally!!

                    I think JT can beat AA, AA has power but doesn't throw nearly as much as he should. He likes to stay in his tight defense for most of the fight. JT's got excellent boxing skills, I think he can win by UD MAYBE in Germany. Who knows though, Abraham is almost unbeatable in Germany.

                      If Taylor is clever enough, he's gonna pull it - the country doesn't matter...enough robberies happen across the pond.

                      If Taylor moves in or backs off against the ropes he's gonna lose...this fight is more about Taylor than AA.

                      From then on, it's pure momentum...
