Arthur Abraham - a look at his career

[SilverMiles]

MW had Taylor, Abraham, Pavlik, Miranda... And they were always thrown into the hypothetical mix of 168 (which was the best division at the time)

After Calzaghe left 168 the division was dead. The only fighter anyone gave a dsmn about at the time was Bute.

The Super Six help bring some excitement to the division but half the participants were MW and the other half were prospects. There was nothing really there at the time.

You should read it, if you want a detailed look at his accomplishments.

I dont need to read to know what arthur accomplished, I follow this sport as in I actually watched the fights, boxrec dont impress me.

Abraham needed to get a better trainer.

Guy has no plan B when things don't go the way he expects it to go.
I still remember how lost the guy looked when Froch decided to box him instead of trade with him. Everyone was expecting a slugfest for this fight and when Froch showed up and actually boxed Abraham looked like a lost kid.

Get a clue, your whole point of making the thread was about golovkin not Arthur. You even admitted it in a post above.

Lol ur a d1ck

Wasn't really talking about the time period after Calzaghe left.

He moved up cause he struggled to make 160 for a long time. Which strong opponents did he face at 160? His MW comp was worse than Gggs, and he regularly looked like **** at that level

Yup and he fought mostly in Germany where the judges can be very dodgy

[TheBoxingXpert]

Leonard...seriously?

You disagree?

[therealpugilist]

Arthur Abraham did what everyone now expects Golovkin to do. To face strong opponents and move up in weight.

when I made the comparison I got lambasted for it...look at it though, Abraham was in the same position as GGG but dared to be great and challenge himself...he didnt have to enter the super 6

I agree, but if you annoy the Golovkin fanboys, they will swarm the thread, so let's only talk about the REAL middleweight king here.

[Real King Kong]

You disagree?

As one of the top middleweights in history? Yes i do. He had 1 fight at mw against a past prime hagler. While he may have a win against one of the best mw in history, he lacks the body of work at that weight to be considered imo.
