    The smallest fighter you think could beat Abraham for the WBO title?

    Abe is short, kind of slow, throws in low volume, and is crude but man if he lands flush he does alot of damage.

    So what fighters from a lower division do you think could beat AA while letting him come in at the 168lb limit?

    Forget the notion of smaller guys knocking him out, its not going to happen and forget fighters in lower weight classes known for a sturdy beard holding up to those looping hooks and uppercuts. If he lands on a 154lber, they take a nap, no question about it.

    So who do you think could UD him?

    Interesting question. Guys like Canelo and Cotto would get absolutely murdered by Abraham, no doubt. I imagine that a slippery and fast guy like Mayweather would be able to win a decision, if he was very very careful.

        Zab Judah would get destroyed within 6 rounds, at most.

            Golovkin would beat Abraham right now. But a prime Abraham would have been a nightmare for Golovkin. Not in the sense that prime Abraham would neccesarily beat Golovkin, but he would give him a much tougher fight than anyone Golovkin has faced so far and it would go the distance.

              Abraham's main weakness is not getting into range to throw carefully timed bombs so it's hard to think of many smaller fighters who could simultaneously stay out of the KO zone while still hitting him enough to win rounds. They would have to be built like Paul Williams but a totally different style.

                Golovkin vs prime Abe, Golovkin would probably win but it could be one of those fighters where neither guy looked quite the same afterwards. They would hurt each other.

                  None of them, I wouldn't even confidently pick Golovkin.

                  Abraham is a mediocre SMW at this point in his career but he has enough power to beat any of the lower weight guys out late in fights.

                  A runner with a decent chin like Hassan N'Dam might have the best chance.
