Sturm wasn't going to beat Taylor anyway. Bernard already did. ;D
Why you think Strum turned down the Taylor fight?Quote:

JT is a tough son of a bitch, I picked him to beat Hopkins TWICE I picked him to beat Wright (at least he didn't lose) if they have a rematch I figure Jermain will give him hell again. Holing your own with those guys is no easy task just ask Trinidad, De la Hoya, and Mosley!
I remember when boxing fans had loyalty, and would not turn on a fighter after a defeat.
Instead they would suggest it was a learning experience and the fighter in question could come back stronger.
But then I was a British boxing fan of the 80s... thus I needed that kind of faith. But I guess the likes of Bomber Bruno show you sometimes your loyalty is rewarded. ;)

There are also some decent 'prospects' climbing their way up the middle weight ladder. It may take a year or so to clear up, but don't count out the middle weight yet. There's ALOT more potential than some other divisions!!!
Who the heck is strum? ;D :D
Miranda and Abraham both look good fighters but the best man either of them have fought is an ancient Howard EastmanQuote:
