Abbot rarely makes jokes at the expense of Costello (or anyone else for that matter), he just cruelly insults him and slaps him around.
Personally, I've always thought Abbott was funnier than Costello - just by his mannerisms and in the way he tries to "pretend" he's oblivious to what Lou is doing at times.
I said he played "straight man" to Costello, where Groucho was nobody's "straight man." You made a direct comparison between two performers who have nothing in common besides being members of a comedy team, and I simply said that this comparison doesn't hold water.
