You know...it all just depends...I think that most people base alot on the fact of what they have heard more so than what they have seen...thus being the case with Sturm & Abraham.

Both are great fighters, both knock opponants out, but both are heard more often than seen...& actually...it's only opinions & spotty info at best that is heard.

Take a gander...purchase some fights or download them...both men are superb fighters.

As far as the middleweight division being lax in talent...I just have to disagree.

Taylor is one of the more talented fighters of the up & coming group of hopefuls...even though I do see a lot of flaws in the kid...but he is impressive none the less. Same goes for my feelings on Sturm & Abraham & Pavlik.

Everyone has their likes & dislikes...nothing wrong in disagreeing...but to form a good arguement...one often has to see both sides of the story...

I like knockouts, blood, & all that...but it's at 160 lbs too...you just gotta look for it.
