    Well Abraham boxed better than Froch did against Taylor.

    Abraham did not have to rely on knockdowns/knockout to win the fight.

        Dirrell beat froch and so did Kessler. Froch should have 2 L not just the one.
        Just like Reid and Hopkins beat Calzaghe.

          I don't understand why you keep bringing up the level of competition. It's irrelevant when Abraham is not a natural 168 lber and only moved up for the S6.

          Froch being a warrior is what will be his downfall. He's going to try and brawl with Abraham, he's so confident in his chin and punch resistance. But he's never fought anyone who hits as hard as Abraham. Taylor and Dirrell both hurt him.
          And Dirrell also hurt AA sooo?I bring up level of competition cause in this case Froch has fought better competition,I don't care that he just moved uphe was not fighting good competition when he was at 160lb either..How could you figure that Froch being a warrior would be his down fall?He has never been KO'd,and the way your talking it sounds like AA's only hope is to KO Froch...

            No, you miss the point.

            Abraham has exhibited boxing ability in the fight against Taylor where he was able to control the fight. Froch didn't do well against Taylor or Dirrell.

            When he tries to box, he loses.

              Are you saying Taylor was not in that fight with AA?I hope not cause taylor was in that fight and alot of rds were close but of course they would go to AA cause they were in AA's back yard..Froch boxed effectively against Dirrell,but Dirrell wanted to hug Froch all night for fear of getting tag...Oh and AA in all reality is not a better boxer then Dirrell or Taylor bro...

                  He has never been KOed because he has never fought anyone who punches as hard as Abraham.

                  Taylor dropped him, Dirrell hurt him and Pascal had him hurt. Cannot remember whether Kessler hurt him or not.

                  Froch's competition is hardly stellar.

                  He was getting whipped by Taylor, lost against Dirrell and was punished by Kessler.

                  And no, AA's only hope is not to KO Froch - but it's the most likely outcome of this fight.

                    Of course Taylor was in the fight, but Abraham was clearly winning. Froch did not box effectively against Dirrell.

                    The Froch-Dirrell fight had nothing in it. A lot of Froch missing though and him flailing around with his awkward jab.

                    Froch relies on a few things;

                    - Punch accumulation
                    - Punch resistance
                    - Stamina

                    Kessler took away his stamina and beat him.
                    Dirrell used movement and speed to negate Froch landing a lot of punches.

                    Carl Froch does not outbox opponents, he outworks them.

                      It's funny too me how you say all this crap about Froch look at the names you just named...Now go and check out AA's last 3 to 4 fights it does not even compare...He was getting out boxed by a highly motivated Taylor not the Taylor AA faced after being KO'd by who oh yea Froch...Dirrell did not win that fight and the people who feel he did needs to understand the difference of boxing and running..Kessler I had Froch winning that fight and speaking about being punished go back watch the end of the fight faces don't lie,who's face took more punishment???Pascal was clearly beat by Froch and he is the LHW champ.Did you say less then stellar??Ummm so AA's competition must be down right pathetic....
