    I would give him some credit, because while Abe is a bigger guy, he is not that much bigger then either Mosley(who I think is the same height or even a little taller) or Mayweather

                if they were proven middleweights, if they came up now and fought him, at 160 then NO. I don't give credit to Floyd for beating a much smaller Marquez. Just cause you are taller then a guy does not make you bigger. AA is a lot thicker then both guys. I won't give much credit to Pavlik if he beats Martinez or Williams, cause neither have proved to be top middleweights.

                  this is ironic,because anyone who doesn't give Floyd credit for beating Marquez should really wonder why they would give Abraham credit for beating these two boxers who are 3 divisions smaller than him...really bizarre poll imo...

                    Out of curiosity,who would Pavlik have to beat to get credit from you? You do realize that ATM there really aren't any top brilliant MW fighters at the moment....unless you count Sturm.
                    I actually believe Martinez is a nightmare style-wise for Pavlik as opposed to Paul Williams..
                    Kelly is in the bad predicament of being in a weak weight division...similar to the heavy weight division, where there are blown up cruiser weights fighting as HW's just to be involved in more lucrative match-ups.
