Comments Thread For: Arthur Abraham Returning To Middleweight in 3-4 Months?

I hope he fights other 160ers first before he face Martinez.

good move! The beltholders at 168 are faster and taller than he is, he will have no success at 168... I hope they make Sturm vs Abraham, stylewise that would be a great fight

Then I strongly recommend AA to move down. His role with Wegner is outplayed. Abraham needs new impulses from a new trainer IMO. And hopefully not a german.

I would love Roach and Ariza training Abraham! Throw that joke Chavez Jr. out and take Abraham!

AA is not and was never proven to be world class at any weight, but he always has that ko punch.

Abraham is just too short to be a top super middleweight. He looked soft and overweight for his 168 fights.

He will do well again at 160 if he gets into good physical condition.

When he left middleweight, he said it was really killing him to make that weight.. That was a long time ago. He pretty much told Pavlik he could only make the weight for a few more months for them to have a showdown. I don't see how he can all of a sudden make that weight..

His real problem is mobility and work rate, killing himself to cut weight will only hinder that.

Th question is WHY couldnt he make weight comfortable? Maybe hes just lazy in training or hes eating to much crap? His stamina issues also speak for lazy training. He would be FORCED to train better to fight at middleweight again so that would be a good thing if thats the only way for him to be succesfull.
