That's a bit exaggerated...,people come to watch his fights,but Felix doesn't get the
attention like Sven Ottke or Markus Beyer did...
I don't know why this is,cause I think that Felix is a better boxer than Otkke and Beyer put together...

hmmm...then your'e wrong.
Oscar sure as hell wasn't fast enough to block the jab that battered his face like a cake & I can see where you'd bring cherries into this...his face was as read as one all night long.
Sorry...but Oscar got beaten.
It's alright your majesty I forgive you, should have known better than to think my opinion on the fight would hold water against your final ruling... In fact, forget the fact that every judge scored the fight 119-108, and everyone at ringside had a similar score... Wacko3205 thought Oscar was beaten...It must be so.

Honestly...I'm really big on Sturm.
Heard a lot about him before the Oscar fight but had no clue that he was going to bring so much to the table the night he fought Oscar.
He's got a lot better fights than the one against Oscar though. Crying shame he had to lose his title that way. Total shat!
I think that he's a hell of a fighter...but I truthfully believe that he'll have some trouble with Casti. Most do. He aint the easiest to beat in the book & he's got a wealth of knowledge...it all just depends on how far he's on the slide.

Agreed.
The lack of star power is just stateside. He's big in his own country. He's not a crossover yet simply because he aint gonna come back to the U.S. for another robbery.

But America is where the moneys at and American's want to see people going for the kill. Just how things are, and it hurts even moreso if you fight this way and aren't even from America. Great talent though, I'd love to see him and Wright go at it - what a chess match that would be.
Gotta disagree raleights.
The kid's got a hell of a personality. Talkative & good sport all the way around. As far as him only doing what it takes to win and nothing else strategy...disagree there too. He's only pulled that when his title was on the line against the power boys. IWO's opinion...he's a whoooooooole lot different than Winky.
Truly think that you need to see his other fights. The guy's got power & he does go in for the kill quite often.
American may be where the money's at in our eyes...but Sturm's bordering on Super Stardom in Germany...& that's enough for him there I'm sure. Also...you have to remember...titles do mean a lot to fighters that work to keep them...America is where the money is...but America is also where he was unjustly robbed for HBO's green pockets on the Oscar Hopkins fight.
I'd tip Sturm to beat Winky...I also tipped him to beat Hopkins.
C'mon Wacko now,I agree on most what you posted above but I strongly disagree on Sturm beating B-HOP
