Ever since losing to Oscar De La Hoya on a controversial loss, Felix Sturm has been fighting poor competition in order to hold on to his meaningless belt. He even lost to Javier Castillejo although he avenged the loss. Now he is fighting Randy Griffin again.... When will this shit stop. The WBA should force him to fight a serious opponent.
Oh ya and AA's promoter offered Sturm 1.5 Million Euros to fight AA and he declined it. What a pussy!
Sturm is a solid boxer, but I just can't see him getting over on Pavlik or Abraham. His best move is probably staying in Germany as long as they can sell his fights. I'm sure when the money is right he'll return to the US to drop his title again.
Sturm turning down a fight with Taylor told me all I needed to know about him
after being robbed in the US. im sure he didnt want to fight there again.
it's boxing, but elite fighters never get KO'd by complete bums in their 60s
Hopkins defeated Winky and Tarver at 40+ and nearly 40 when he kayoed DLH. I guess they are not elite then?
Archie Moore kayoed Yvon Durelle at 40+ besides having a lot of brilliant performances after turning 40.

didnt know castelljo was 60 thought he was only 40 hell he might have been 39 at the time
castelljo didnt KO him the second time, maselino masoe didnt KO sturm either
1 lose or 1 KO doesnt define the rest of someones career, can AA KO sturm? sure he can, doesnt mean sturm cant KO him with a body shot or something, its boxing diego

Chances are always there, but a Ko by Sturm against Abraham is very unlikely, unless Abraham throws a haymaker like against Miranda and is off balance big time. A quick hook at the right place could possibly hurt Abraham, but chances are not.
What if AA lands clean on Sturm? Goodnight I say.
I think Sturm wins the second Griffin fight not as close as the first one.
I have a hard time believing Sturm beats any good fighter his size and some smaller. Javier Castillejo KO'd him

style wise Sturm could beat Abraham into a boxing school UD.
cover and flurries dont win you fight all the time espically if someone moves sideways
true but i dont think AA and his trainers are stupid enough to do that, AA would have to come forward and bully sturm into the ropes, sturm doesnt have power to back AA off
if AA sat there and just tried to flurry with that shell defence, sturm would jab him to death
cant beilve i somehow missed this quility thread, call sturm what u want but he'll beat arthur, arthur will be forced to fight as an agressor and not this defence minded guy cause sturm woulda box his ears off if he did
as to the first griffen fight, u guys would be shocked sturm only got a draw, he won that fight 8-4 imo and i couldnt beilve in germany they had it a draw but you know in boxing it doesnt matter where u are, if you go forward and throw u gets rounds even if they dont belong to you
I'll be first to admit Sturm hasnt been doing much but he will, AA did offer sturm this deal but come on guys when has a deal in boxing ever been rock solid, alot of things can be said but unless your promoting the fight u have no clue whats what, not to mention AA already had planned to fight in the USA after he offered that deal to sturm, if sturm wins his fight in a week or 2, sturm vs AA is easliy still there and u clowns automatically get punked when he takes the fight cause u said he was scared
You might very well be right but at least Abraham was trying to unify. I think it would have been a good idea. It appears that Strum is too concerned with clutching his WBA trinket for as long as possible.
Problem for Sturm is that he has lost a couple of silly fights (Castillejo and Griffin (draw I know but that was a german Ottke-like decision)).
He was hot as h*ll coming off the DLH fight but failed to capatilize and his following is moderate at best.
he offered Sturm 3 millions Dollars and he declined???!
2 defensiveminded german imports having a go. This fight would possibly be dull as h*ll. Probably only interesting to the german public.
he offered Sturm 3 millions Dollars and he declined???!
Well, Sturm is still somewhat popular in germany and has enough fans, who want to see him fight. They usually don´t have a clue about boxing, if Sturm fought Abraham, even those idiots would have to accept that he sux and he would lose his fans, because it wouldn´t look like the ODLH-fight. Felix Sturm got far slower and his defense is bad as well. I blame his trainer for that development.
don't sleep on my boy Griffin. he's from the Ville and I've met him. does anyone have the first fight to download? I actually predicted Griffin to win that one
