Abraham vs Taylor: Jermain "Arthur is Nothing Special"

[Tobi.G]

Abraham is just another euro bum like Kessler and Zaghe. He sucks.

Its you who sucks man! To call "euro bum" in the same sentence as Kessler,Calzaghe and Abraham is ignorant as hell and smells like euro-hating.im a german but most of my faves are from other countries cause i dont give a **** about nationality and dont like the style of most europeans but i would never call them euro bums because of that.

No he doesnt.. Volume punchers who pressure are the styles..

Froch and Pavlik were bigger and stronger than JT..
Arthur isnt bigger or stronger... Or applies pressure.. JT breezes to a decision
You cant wins rounds when youre in the turtle shell 2 minutes of every round

You mean physical strenght and punch? I think Abraham has more of it than Taylor, even if hes shorter. Dont forget than Taylor was a middleweight himslef and Abraham killed himself to make 160. You have just to watch some of Abrahams knockdowns and KOs, you see the difference in power. His punches are harder even though they are slower than Taylors.
But Taylor has good chance to win this, cause hes fast and verry athletic and has good offensive skills, he has defensive flaws though and that could be the reason hes loosing the fight. Abraham has only the chance to win by KO against Taylor, but its a good chance i think. i see the fight pretty much 50:50. The question is how Taylor is affected from his losses, he lost 3 of his last 4 fights.

Okay got it Jermaine. Just remember that Froch and Pavlik aren't that special either.

On a side note, Jermaine is 0-3 against big name white fighters, having never lost to a black fighter.

Abraham is white, so I think Jermaine is in trouble.

what I rememeber is Abraham carrying his power (very impressively) to a catch weight above middleweight, when he beat the **** out of Miranda in 4 rds in the rematch...I can only imagine his power as a Super Mid.....Jermain is a good boxer but he does not deal well with pressure. So one can only envision the pressure he is to receive in his opponent's home town...plus the fact that he gasses out towards the end of his fights at Middle AND Super Middle...I wish him the best, but I just can't see him beating Abraham (who by the way is my pick to win the tourney)....

Last time I checked Arthor doesnt have a jab like Wright, doesnt put pressure on like Wright, and doesnt throw nearly as many punches a Wright.. Please try again..

You said no one with a turtle shell defence can win rounds against Taylor. Winky has a turtle shell defence and he won rounds.

Abraham has a different attacking style from Winky, but it's very effective in its own way and he has far more power than Wright does. But you were talking about his turtle shell defence, and their defensive style is similar.

And last time I checked Taylor vs Winky as a draw.. Winky gave up the last round blowing it, kinda like Clottey did Cotto

Exactly, so Winky won rounds, didn't he?

alll he needs is a 70% potensial

Yeah, thats all Jermaine needs to beat this guy who is not stronger, faster, taller, smarter than Jermaine who was considered the best in his prime (not long ago). He hasn't been hurt badly by any fighter that have beatin him since he have been up most of the fights but... Yes, he had stamina problems wich I hope he has work on. Jermaine you still the best, don't. Beat this guy in his hometown and the sky is your limit...

What was that you were saying about Abraham not being able to win any rounds against Taylor with a turtle shell defence again?

I wish I'd asked you for a bet ...
