Abraham 72" reach, Taylor 78" reach

Abraham with 5'10" Raul Marquez...

I guess he is 5'9", I'm a fan now, I like fighters the same height as me.

Abraham with 5'10" Raul Marquez...

It's tough getting the real numbers. HBO used to have Taylor at 6'1, and Showtime had him at 5'11.

They had Froch at 6'0 but they appeared to be even in height.

Showtime now has Taylor back at 6'1"... for the Froch fight was the only time I've seen him listed at 5'11". I've always thought he was around 6'0".

Suffice it to say that Taylor will be 3"-4" taller and have a 4"-6" reach advantage.

Abraham is undersized at 168. I too noticed this the other day after seeing them all together. I'm starting to dislike his chances against any of the other fighters in this tourney.

I knew Taylor had a height and reach advantage, but I didn't know it would be that significant.

Discuss.

Taylor has all the advantages except getting tired in the later rounds. I'm pretty sure hes going to sweep the first 8 rounds

20k on Abraham over Taylor if anyone wants it.

He's got the power to be competitive against anyone at 168, it will just be a matter of whether he's got the boxing skills to work his way in and use it against the bigger guys.

confirm it

I don't see how people have him winning the whole thing when theres people like Kessler in the mix
Abraham has astonishing power, but he doesn't throw enough to back people up and into trouble... good jab, but I really think the size difference will hurt him
Taylor has the style to win, but if he does fade late like usual... Then Kessler will be the man to beat him.

Taylor has the physical advantages, but mentally Abraham is stronger.

Jermain seemed to mentally fall apart in the last round against Froch, while Abraham showed tremendous mental toughness in that first fight with Miranda.
