    "You Are Only As Good As Your Last Fight"

    ...seriously isn't this the mindset of the general boxing fan? Abraham was a "stud" now he's a bum. Carl Froch made a whole lot of new fans tonight, the same fans that will turn around and call him a slow no defence nobody "IF" Johnson beats him next.

    How many of you guys support your favorite fighters win, lose or draw? If you were a fan of King Abraham before the Froch fight then please continue to root for him instead of calling him Queen Abrahama.

          I have been telling ppl for a while that AA wasn't world class because he has only beaten mediocre comp other than a shot Taylor and could have lost the 1st fight to Miranda. PPl overrated him because of his power but he doesn't have much else.

            Worldclass or not if you used to be a fan then continue to support him, that's all.

              I picked Froch to beat AA and bet heavily on him and I always said AA was overrated at SM, beating Jermain Taylor who got stopped badly in the fight just before isn't a great feat.

              Whenever AA has stepped up his level of competition, he has failed. In Germany, he wins every fight.. In the real world, he doesn't.

                I'm not a fan of either. I just like watching them box.

                I thought Froch wasn't gonna be able to box like that and would eventually get into a brawl w/ AA which would be to Froch's detriment.

                however, I have to give froch props for the boxing skills he showed yesterday. he beat AA better than dirrell did without all the running and without getting knocked down.

                  Me i try to be a fan of the sport rather than fighters but some of em u just cant help being a fan of!

                  I stick with my favourites through the good times and the bad. Only one guy i went off of who i was a big fan of was Ricky Hatton, and it wasnt because of his fighting or loseing

                    Long live The King!

                    I'm still an Arthur abraham fan. But I became a fan of his when he was at 160. I wish Abraham gets on a good diet and rules Middleweight.

                    He's obviously missing a few inches in height and then his style doesn't help him at all.
