    To be fair he did against Taylor and for 3 rounds against Ward. Otherwise you are correct.

      Arthur is far removed from his best, but I would still be down to see Pavlik-Abraham.

        Impressive liedown by Pokemon

        AA didn't do much to change the perception he's only a crude wide swinging loaf

          that's what some kid throws at the heavybag his first day at the gym
          not a world class boxer

          horrible


          all he can do is punch
          So true. Look at those punches lmao- The commentators made me laugh "Maybe Farias had been studying what has unravelled Abraham in his past couple fights"

          Yeah, he actually had to fight good fighters instead of the cans at 160.

            agreed

            he looked awful

            even when he opens up he looks awful

              It's entertaining to watch Abraham against B-level competition, hunting down his prey and knocking them out. But against the elites he just falls short, both literally and figuratively.

                Glen Johnson should go to Europe and slap him around.

                    He looked slower (if possible) than earlier.

                    His best asset has always been the power and he carries it all the way to the final bell.

                      Dangerous for his health. Glen actually eats some punches, and while Abraham would probably lose he'd have enough chances at a KO. Though Johnson is a tough chinned sob.
