His best wins are crude fighter mirandra...

kessler has at least fought genuwine super middle weight froch has beaten taylor and pascal who are by far better than anyone arthor has fought at middle weight let alone super middle weight...

Taylor imo has the best cv, hs been in the mix with more world class fighters than all of them..with froch, pavlik, hopkins, winky wright lacey...

I just dont see how arthur is even considered....

I predict taylor schools him barring a dodgy decision...

I see it exactly the same way. He has not really done anything spectacular, but many on here are on his bandwagon for some reason. I don't think he is going to fare well in this competition at all. Maybe I am missing something, but I just don't see anything special in Abraham and I think Taylor wins.

exactly...

As a froc fan im far more worried about dirrell than abraham..

He could be a pavlik who just cannot punch at super mid...

He may whoop taylors ass and prove me wrong, but logic on my side shows hes the most unproven out of all of them...

I'll put up to 500 K on Abraham to defeat Taylor

If anyone wants to bet, please PM me.

You're right in that Abraham's resume is lacking, but to be fair to Abraham, he tried to get fights with both Sturm and Pavlik and both didn't want to fight him (or at least their promoters).

i dont have many points, but i'd put them all on Abraham knocking Taylor out by round 8.

so basically theres no logical reason as to why so many people on here pick this unproven super middle weight to win...

abraham has a height disadvantage in this touranment, i know hes beat tall fighters before but not super middleweights....you cant compare him to tyson because tyson was always on the attack.....

he doesnt throw enough punches so hes pretty much going to have to ko everybody to win, which is damm near impossible....hes pretty fun to watch tho...

What I've learned from this thread:

* Jermain Taylor has a great resume, partly because he has names like Wright, Froch and Pavlik on his resume. (That's one man he got a gift draw with, and two that knocked him the **** out)

* Pavlik can't punch at supermiddle. As he's never fought at the weight, this surprises me.

* Abraham has never fought at supermiddle. As he HAS fought at the weight, this surprises me.
