    Abraham, however, was the only person who needed to cheat to beat Miranda. A 15 minute break for medical attention - LMAO - he would have been a knock out loser anywhere but Germany so he gets ZERO credit. Because they CHEATED and ROBBED Miranda.

    He beat Taylor coming off a KO at a weight where Taylor himself had never done anything.

    Fouled himself out of the Dirrell fight because he couldn't handle getting taken to school from start to finish against a guy he thought he would KO easily.

    Only person who is a bigger bum than AA is Stieglitz a fighter so limited he got completely steamrolled by Librado Andrade who has about as little skill as a world class boxer can get away with. Also managed to get himself knocked out by Alejandro Barrio who also has zero boxing skill.

    It's a disgrace to boxing that either one of these guys is able to hold a belt at a weight class as jam packed with more talented fighters as 168.
    lol true i watched the first round of the fight and was shocked at the gap in skill from someone like crawford who was also fighting at the same time. literally, steigltz was bumrushing and throwing wild punches like a banshee

      I hope they invite Anthony Dirrell to Berlin for AA's volontary defense on May 25. Imagine if both brothers where retired by the abrahammer. ROFL.

        AA even suckerpunched Stieglitz in an exact Deja vu of the Dirrell fight. Only the exhausted Stieglitz didn't get a full body seizure.

          OP has gone over the brink into nuthuggery

          Most people rate him pretty much as he should be rated, he's good and will beat 90% of the guys out there ... everybody worth their salt knows this ... he losses against the elites ... everybody worth their salt knows this... and has SEEN it.

          I dunno maybe there's a few haters out there but nobody worth bothering with is saying he's crap/bad etc so OP is basically arguing with his imaginary friends and a few ******s ... thread is kinda ****** at this point.

            I'm talking about prime Miranda here, the undefeated KO machine who hurt Abraham badly and went the distance against him.

            Librado Andrade is a good boxer. He went the distance against Kessler, he defeated Tsykpo and KOed both Stieglitz and Mack. And almost KO'ed Bute.

            Besides, all boxers can have some bad fights sometimes, even Stieglitz and Wladimir Klitschko and Miki Tyson.

            And by the way, Miranda was not robbed, lol.

                The sad thing is, if Abraham defeats Golovkin, then people won't respect Abraham, they will just disrespect Golovkin.

                  I've always been a fan of AA, so was happy to see him get the win on Saturday.

                  It was a big win for him. His career seems to have came to a stand still with some recent laboured performances, but he showed flashes of his 'old self' against Stieglitz and put in a good performance.

                    And yet, some newbies to boxing still underrate him and they show a total lack of knowledge when talking about boxers like Arthur, Stieglitz and Andrade being bums.

                    Arthur Abraham is a very good fighter and I don't say he's good because I'm a fan, but I'm a fan because he's just that good and entertaining to watch!

                      .

                      True but the referee did give Steglitz 17 seconds recovery time. Had it been an 8 count Arthur may well have got another Ko

                      I was one of the people that wrote Arthur off after the 2nd Steglitz fight but he turned back the clock and looked good. He's back in the mix now. Ward, froch and kessler would be favourite against him but I give a chance with anyone outside the top 3
