What if Hopkins fought Sturm instead?

that makes it easier for bhop, not harder.


no he doesn't


he doesn't show it because he doesn't have it.

Read my post above. He knocked out Cherifi with a single body shot. And how many has Hopkins knocked out in the last four years? That's right-zero!

Oh and btw, Hopkins did not beat Wright. Look at the punchstats, Wright landed 15 more shots! It was a blatant highway robbery. All the three "judges" gave the fight clearly to ****hop.

Exactly! Youre talking the talk. And lets not forget Winky got butted-most likely deliberately!

honestly winky was landing the cleaner shots from about round 3 on...i gotta watch that one again...nard again did the occasional land 1 punch/headbutt/clinch tactics, and wore winky down by the 12th, but winky was the ring general from 3 to 11...

i tell you...if that fight took place when it should have, when winky was undisputed at 154 and nard at 160, i think wink would have outclassed nard as long as the refs don't allow nard to turn the fight into a foulfest...or if wink was a natural lightheavy like nard...equal in talent but too small was wink

who is cherifi?

wow a senior citizen can't KO people... c'mon.

Sure. Thats why he beat Delahoya, Castillejo, Masoe, Sylvester, Gevor
and Griffin! He also knocked out Hacine Cherifi, former champion who beat Keith Holmes.

come on.. in fact he lost against an OLD castillejo the first time around. against de la hoya he showed he had a pretty good jab but thats all hes got. dlh was awful in that fight. the rest are no names and cherifi is done since years. furthermore, many of his fights are close and many ppl say gevor won that fight but i havnt seen it. i think you are overrating sturm alot.

If there was any justice, Felix would get the chance against Hopkins. I believe it would be a totally different fight than the one with DLH. Sturm was a natural MW, so he wouldn't get stopped by one punch or wrestled down like Oscar did. At the time he was still relatively fresh, but he was already an excellent technician. He also has a good chin.

Sturm would've got his a** beat. End of story.

Hopkins UD 12. 117-111.

So what if many of his fights are close?! You saying Jones or Hopkins had no close fights? Or Hagler, for that matter. Its because Sturm is fighting top competition. Unlike your American boys.
