    You just don't say sh%t like this.

    I know hes being honest.

    But damn.
    Abraham is right about the size thing.. However he definitely stated over a year ago he could no longer make 160. Is his frame at this point in time between weight classes? Sucks for Abraham.

        Think Ward will give up Oakland if AA gives up the see thru shorts?

            Hes taking these losses really badly.

            It went from euphoria in the Taylor fight to utter humiliation in the Froch fight.

                He can make 160. He just doesn't want to. Martinez/Abraham at 160. LOL.

                  That was Froch, not Abraham.

                  at Taylor being glass chinned, he has no stamina. His chin is good.

                    Martinez would **** him up, AA's career is done. He isn't pulling no upset off on Ward. AA's been exposed as a fighter who only beat shot and c level fighters. Froch said that AA has bad footwork and is a slow plodder before they fought, boy was he right. I should have listened to Crotch for once. AA didn't win a round against Froch or Dirrell.

                      AA is a guy I used to really really dislike, but now I'm actually feeling sorry for the guy. He has all the tools, but he doesn't know how to utilize it. I mean, Tyson is one of his favorites fighters, and it's a bit ironic that while AA has zero upperbody movement, Tyson had great head/ upperbody movement. There were many opportunities where Abraham could have slipped Froch's jab and thrown a counter right over the top, but that style of his has really messed him up. It's like his body is automatically engineered to go into a shell once his opponents throw, anyone notice that? Clottey has the same issues too.
