Abraham has a good chin and defence, a guy like Kirkland would be an esy KO for Abraham after a few rounds. Kirkland better stays at 154. Chavez Jr. would also be a victim for Abraham. Right now i would only favour Martinez and maybe Pirog over Abraham. Abrahams power at middleweight when he hits is unmatched so he has a punchers chance against anyone if he is not to drained. I hope the nutritionist helps. He never had a nutritionist before. He also never had a strenght conditioning coach. All the work was done by Wegner so far. Wegner is a good trainer but at top level you need strenght/conditioning coaches and nutritionists. Maybe that helps Abrahams stamina and workrate.

It wasn't lack of size that got Abraham exposed at 168lbs. It was lack of skill, strategy, and stamina. Size is but part of a package. So basically he needs to fight at a weight where he can bully opponents by being stronger than them, because as soon he can't do damage with his wild flurries, he has no back up and no ability to overcome the challenge.
There's plenty of good fighters at 160lbs that will expose him.
I'd like to see Canelo against Abraham.Comment

The way to beat Abraham is to box him. I cant imagine to many middleweiights will want to stand and trade with Abraham. Thats why Chavez and Canelo would be good fights for Arthur. Even fighting Pavlik. They both need each other as much as they ever have. If he makes weight properly and stays strong he will still be a force at 160 but up at super middle it wasnt just size. He couldnt cope with skilled opponents because he had never faced that level of comp before. The experinece may have taught him where he belongs and he is still dangerous.Comment
