If I were Sturm & I saw the Hopkins Taylor fight & the outcomes of each...I wouldn't fight Wright or Taylor in the U.S. ...there's just no way...he beat Oscar...& I'm an Oscar fan who can admit it...I'm also a huge Sturm fan. It wouldn't surprise me if he never fought stateside again...he was really really sore about that shat...& I don't blame him...the revenue from the Hopkins Oscar fight took his belt...not Oscar...& that's a gotdam crime.

He's too big to drop to 154 & what's the point...he's been a mid or there around his entire career. I wouldn't rematch Oscar...no point. We all saw & know the outcome. Mayorga? Please.

People talk defeat a bit too easy regarding fighters that they know so little about. Taylor & Sturm fought in the ams & also in the Olympics. Sturm beat Taylor in the ams & Taylor beat Sturm in the Olympics...it aint that simple.

Wright? Hard to say...but I lean towards Sturm beating Hopkins when talks were bouncing around regarding a match between the two.

Sturm sets a blistering pace & he's got one hell of a jab. It's hard to get around it all night long. Make an effort to find some of his old fights...you'll be impressed.

The Masoe fight was pretty good...but Sturm was coming off of a layoff from a hand injury...& I thought that he looked much better against Sendra, Oscar, Cherifi, Schenk, & Vecchio.

Sure he was robbed but everyone knew that, even the most hardcore DLH fans, and that means a whole lot of people.. In other words, Sturm could have capitalized on that performance and rebounded with another big fight. Instead...He hasn't done S***. NOt jack S***, since DLH.. Now he's asking the WBA to investigate whether they can somehow give him the WBA from TAylor without him having to fight anyone.. That sucks, imo.. and it's about time he put up, or just retire. Harsh as it sounds, and I know he has his fans here, but Id like to here their opinion on why he hasn't fought anyone or even challenged anyone since DLh. I know he had an offer to fight Taylor in his hometown and turned it down, kind of ironic that he is now trying to get him stripped.. Ironic, or chickenshit, imo.
Harsh...again...you have to look at the bigger picture. He's been bumped from possible fights several times...he's beaten & ko'd several names after Oscar...Masoe was no easy nut to crack & he was the champ.

Again...the only reason that I can see for what he's done regarding Taylor is to force the fight. Again...would you fight him in his hometown after what happened? Don't think so. I know I wouldn't.

There's nothing chicken shat about Sturm. He took the biggest step up in his career ever after running undefeated in 20 some odd fights to fight argueably one the greatest fighter of our decade. Takes balls to do so...but again...everyone is entitled to an opinion...I just hate to see people condemn a fighter when they don't know 100% of the facts or 80% of the talent that he has beaten...

...that wasn't directed @ you p4pking...it's a broad statement that shouldn't be taken personally.

Everyone rips on Sturm after only seeing 2-3 fights...& that's as wack as Wacko.
