    Why do people think Abraham is gonna beat Froch?

    I'm asking this because when you compare their two performances against Dirrell, Froch did a hell of a lot better against Dirrell than Abraham did. Wasn't Abraham the one with the busted, bloodied face at the end of the fight? And Dirrell got his nose bloodied in the fight against Froch if I remember right. Abraham's skills are blown out of proportion.

    styles make fights.

    croch doesn't have dirrell's movement or defense (and dirrell still got hit with some big shots).

    AA for sure will land plenty of shots on froch, who fights with his hands at his waists. it really depends on croch's chin and if AA throws punches.

      I think people think he'll beat him because it won't be too hard for Abraham to find him. Froch certainly won't fight him like Dirrell did.

        Do you even watch boxing? People who compare fights based on their common opponents are idiots.

        There's no way bhop will beat pavlik!
        There's no way mosley will beat margi!

        How's it possible.. Pavlik knocked taylor out and Margi knocked cotto out!

        Styles mean everything.

          Because AA is better than Froch.

            I don't care how skilled you are, when you don't throw any punches you are not gonna beat a guy who is a strong pressure fighter. Same reason I think Kessler is gonna lose even though I think he fights with a little more passion than Abraham does. Ward is the only guy who can beat Froch. Dirrell may be able to do it in a rematch if he runs like he did the last time because if he tries to fight Froch straight up like he did with Abraham, he's getting KOd.

              After Kessler beats Froch, Froch will be a desperate man and make a mistake against AA that will finish him.

                Froch is a different kind of fighter than Dirrell and unlike Dirrell won't have the fast feet to just move out of range when AA explodes and lets his hands go nor will he try.

                Froch will just come forward take hard shots while trying to pressure and get ko'd probably.

                  AA would find it easier to land on Froch than dirrell but i think froch takes.

                    And plus who the fuck has Abraham KOd that makes people think he's this crushing puncher? I admit he's got power. But all of the guys on his resume that are his best wins have chins that are made out of glass.
