Where do people think he figures?

From what I saw yesterday Abraham would put enough pressure on a disinterested Taylor to win comfortably.

That for me leaves Pavlik and Abraham.
Abrahams too routine meaning I see the same things over and over from him. I've posted this numerous times....
When I 1st saw him I was well impressed with what I saw and figured he'd grow and develope but let me be honest here. I haven't seen any improvements from him. Fight after fight is the same thing from him from the Ikeke fight 'til now.
The biggest issue I have with him is he wait's tooooo long to fire off his shots. If he took the initiative and got off 1st I'm willing to say it and put it out there he'd be the best. But he doesn't instead he lets the opponents fire off 1st then he lets go.
I think it started off with the Taylor fight where I thought for sure Arthur would rip 'em up and he didn't hack it he won every round but I was just expecting him to do it in KO style... Then the Jantuah & Miranda fights both supported my comment on him standing around to long.
I guess we'll see what he's got this time around.
For the record he's still one of my fav. Middles. Amin is #1 for me....
