Abraham's style would make him effective in his 40's

[boxasmash]

Block punches with guard, low workrate and hit them like a mule back (punch last thing to go).

[Jim Jeffries]

Perhaps, but people tend to gain weight as they age, and at ~5'9", I can't see him being effective much above SMW. Certainly CW would be a daunting task for him, and his power likely wouldn't carry that high.

It depends. He has already suffered many injuries during his career so Abraham likely won't go until his 40's. His style does seem to be suited for an older fighter if they were to possess the punching power that Abraham does.

I don't know about that. I think his stamina is gonna get worse as he ages

He looks like he's already in his 40s.

If he lost his "pop" his style would get him nowhere.

I like AA, overall I'm a fan. But I think someone is going to figure out how to break that style down.

Dwight Muhammad Qawi was 5′5½″ and he did pretty good at LHW and Cruiserweight


The Camden Buzzsaw was increible!

Qawi took advantage of his lack of height with his crouching, bobbing & weaving. Abraham isn't able to do that.

The 5'9 Fragomeni has had some nice success as a cruiserweight though.

Imo Abraham still has weight problems. He was very nervous for his last weight-in. He needs to have a better diet, but I know guys like him. And he will be bigger in some years, if he doesnt controll himself, even as a Lhw he will have no probs (actually Lhw is a weaker devision).

Abraham hasnt fought a good swarmer, with a good defence and chin. OK, this sounds very rare, but theire are styles he had problem with. A prime Taylor, who would have tried to break that shell of defence, would have caused problems to AA. Maybe a prime Taylor (who beat BHop), would have played with a weight drained Mw AA.

Kessler also have the tools to beat AA, maybe Dirrel will give him a hell of a fight, too. I do not know his chin, Froch couldn't test. From what I have heard about Ward (i saw him against Miranda), he could also cause AA problems.
