his body is short but his arms are long for a guy his height. He could ko taylor, but IMO taylor has this one.

Also factor in that AA throws mostly hooks, doesn't throw the amount of straights Pavlik and Froch throw. Then with AA having a low output and starting slow, Taylor is a LIVE underdog.

He may be short but AA is stout! Look at the guy, he is absolutely ripped and seems to be in primo physical condition.

Mike Tyson was about the same size as Abraham.

does'nt matter, taylors chin is solid
he wont get ko'd by one shot and abraham does'nt punch enough to make him run out

When Abraham sees a guy hurt, then he goes for the kill. He's kinda like Clottey, not great, has a kind of guard up 24/7 style but still very hard to beat and strong as hell.

I think Taylor lost because he gassed out. If he doesn't gas out then he will win. Just like how I feel Cotto could beat Marg in a rematch if he didn't have a bleeding nose and have stamina issues.

If Taylor ahs corrected his stamina, then he has plenty of skills to win, espcially if Abraham takes the first 4 rounds lightly and doesn;t make Taylro expel too much energy.

only problem here is that the dog is "shot" at the end of the day,...

AA by KO..

Go for it AA...seems that Americans are having a hard time accepting that there ARE good boxers on the other side of the pond ..try to get this into your heads

Taylor is to announce his withdrawal from the rest of the tournament after this fight..he better start a new career after this...stocking Walmart shelf's isn't that bad after all

at least you wont end your shift on the floor

He's too short to beat the Klitschko's but not Taylor.
