Abraham-Farias, Stieglitz-Weber. SemiOFFICIAL RBR and discussion thread.

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.

Abraham isn't stopping Johnson. He would lose on output alone. He needs badly to move down to 160 and fight the c level guys there.

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.

my question then becomes "who cares?"

[Bierstadt]

Farrias is B level? lol

Perhaps C, if we actually had official alphabet ratings.

What would you classify Miranda as then? To be fair Abraham's only lost to the best of the best.

I'm not making him out to be the greatest fighter, not even close. But his biggest asset - power, will always make up for all his other shortcomings against lesser opponents.

Touché!!

Still I'd like to see a Dirrell rematch.

glen johnson would ANNIHILATE arthur abraham

there's no way abraham would win a round

he hardly throws punches
and the stuff he would throw wouldn't impress the judges enough to earn him rounds against a workhorse like johnson

Abraham himself is B level. Ferras is C maybe even D level. Miranda is a C leveller to the max. Ward, Froch, Bute, Kess are the A levellers.

while it lasted that was an interesting fight, especially down the stretch


dirrell should merk him, though, this time around

I don't see Abraham winning another title in his career as long as he stays at 168 lbs (unless he gets to fight Balzsay or Stieglitz). He would be a nice addition to the middleweight division but it doesn't seem like he can make the weight any longer.

I guess it would be somewhat interesting to see Abraham fight Kelly Pavlik, even if over 3 years too late.

No kidding. Johnson has been hit by bigger fighters than Abraham.

Johnson isn't much of a workhorse nowadays. He is an old man who needs to retire. Abraham would probably win a very ugly and dull decision in Germany.
