Taylor is too big for Abraham

Much longer arms too. hopefully abraham doesnt throw too many body shots and taylor's stamina can hold out.

I disagree , it has been well documented that Abraham was struggling @ 160 and was only hanging around for Pavlik !!!!!!

Taylor was an averaged sized MW and id consider him a small SMW , but his size doesnt seem to affect him too much @167 as shown against Froch & Lacy .

Overall id say size and strength wise this one is neck & neck

Super welter? Abraham has weighed in at 170lbs for a fight earlier in his career and he fought Miranda the second time at just under the super middleweight limit. I don't think size is a factor in whoever wins this fight.

i was exaggerating a bit, however, in my opinion Taylor has the size of the perfect middle weight, Abraham looks smaller and has the shorter reach. Abraham also never fought the opposition of Taylor. Ans unlike Froch, hes the smaller man.

No lol, because Taylor is so unpredictable, he looks good in one round, and gasses out in the other. I was just stating that record wise and size wise, Taylor should be the natural winner.

I think the TS is placing too much emphasis on height and reach.

Taylor has the advantages in size, speed, boxing ability and experience.

Hopefully he fights good enough to get a win in germany.

That doesn't seem likely though with the judges they have over there.

Right, we shouldn't use American judges...

Seriously, in most of AA's title defenses there were at least 2 impartials (judges or ref) from the US...
