Felix Sturm represents everything thats wrong with boxing.

He's not the same fighter that lost to golden boy, in Germany you will have to Ko him to beat him the thing is he is a Hero in Germany. Strum will never leave his country to fight why would he has a
very large fan base and makes plenty of money.The problem is the country not Strum the reefers are rubbish and the decisions are shocking always been the same over there.

texas has done took the crown from germany when it comes to shit decisions

One fight comes to mind in Germany is, Robin Reid v Sven Ottke, remember Reid knocking him over with a right hand and gets a warning. He beat Ottke that night and they robed him strange place Germany they sit round the ring as if they are at a funeral.Not much passion by the fan's all to polite it like they are watching a Film Ho shoot the Donkey.

I haven't been the harshest critic of sturm. I understand why he stays in Germany. If I got robbed when I came to the US, I wouldn't want to leave the friendly confines of home either.

But the way he has absolutely refused to face Golovkin is a shame. He has ducked him, plain and simple.

A friend of mine who is a Sergio Martinez hater has said continually Martinez should just go to Germany and fight Sturm. Of course, I think Sturm would refuse that fight. Martinez could agree to take 20% of the purse, let Sturm's promoter be the referee, and let Sturm's mom, dad, and wife(or girlfriend) be the 3 judges and Sturm would still turn down the fight.

Strum can't use the Oscar robbery as his excuse, that was years ago. This is similar to Galzaghe and Ottke with Martinez and Strum.

Sturm is a bug on a windshield compared to big promoters and big name boxers. Catchweights, Diamond titles, super champs, regular champs, loaded handwraps, steroids, calling fighters champions when all they are is belt holders without fighting the number 1 or number 2 guy in his division, glassing, broken toe in explanation for losing, over priced ppv's, crappy decision wins etc etc etc.
