King Arthur is NOT George Foreman

[Konstantin]

He did KO Edison Miranda at 166, but I'm pretty sure anybody with atleast decent KO power could stop Miranda these days.

I'd say that's a bit harsh, especially since only two people, both champions, have knocked him out and they were both big punchers.

Maybe I was. But at the same time, Andre Ward was able to stun him, and he isn't a very big puncher at all; though you could make the argument that Pavlik, Green, and Abraham had something to do with that.

I give a Taylor a very good chance at winning but it will be quite sad if he does get KO'ed. I know he's contractually obligated to continue in the tournament but I'd almost want to see him retire at that point.

Agree totally. Hopefully he can win this.

I think that Arthur has a lot of faults in his game. His workrate is too low, his punches are sometimes wild in a way that leaves him wide open, and his resume is one of a lot of decent but nothing special opponents rather than anyone as good as Hopkins, Pavlik or Froch (IMO Froch would beat Miranda, who is AA's best win).

I certainly think JT has a good chance of beating him, but I think that Taylor possibly suffers from confidence issues, and they won't be helped by fighting in front of a hostile crowd. Taylor's stamina problems are clear to everyone, and AA seems to have excellent power right into the 12th round.

Taylor can pull it off, but I think it's right that he's considered the underdog for this one.

I agree, I think Taylor will beat Abraham.
