by Cliff Rold - Arthur Abraham might have missed his window. There was a time, specifically when Jermain Taylor reigned as the lineal king of the Middleweight division, when Abraham may have been the very best Middleweight in the world. There were a lot of people who wondered.
There weren’t enough, on two sides of the Atlantic, to make it happen for him at 160 lbs. The window closed and he attempted to open another at 168. Ironically, it was a win over Taylor in that class in the opening round of the Super Six tournament where the window slammed down.
He’s never been the very best Super Middleweight in the world. Losses in three straight Super Six contests proved it. That doesn’t mean he still isn’t a handful for fighters below the elite levels that men like Carl Froch and Andre Ward occupy.
Arthur Abraham has had to settle for just being good, and that’s good enough. Two fights ago, he was good enough to finally win a belt at Super Middleweight against Robert Stieglitz. Will he be good enough to keep it in the rematch? [Click Here To Read More]
