Hopkins targets Sturm

[AintGottaClue]

As far as fighting Hopkins goes:

From one school of thought:

Sturm would have an advantage over Hopkins physically. That is a no-brainer. He has more lean mass, and IMO is in just as good if not better condition. He fights on the outside, utilizing his jab to set up the power punch.

I only see him giving hopkins a little trouble, because he is effective when punching straight. He might be able to sneak punches through Bernard's gloves. I However do not feel that he has the punching power to hurt Bernard though.

From another school of thought:

You could say that Hopkins has way too much ring experience, has more natural skills, And Frankly;

I do not feel would be the least bit scared of Felix.

As far as fighting Taylor goes:

Sturm may give Taylor some trouble, but ultimately Taylor's strength and reach (which surpasses) Strum gives him trouble. He would have an easy time setting up power shots.

I have never seen Sturm use mobility to the best extent in the ring. He is more like a stalking fighter, who keeps fighters at bay with the jab. He would need some more lateral movement if he were to pervail in fighting Taylor.

.

well actually run, sturm is a very quick fighter and can move around the ring quite well as larry merchant said during the DLh fight. people who have just seen sturms last fights would not know it cause the type of fighters he fought he had to use a diff style and imo only lasted 2-3 rounds . sturm can be very quick and he can move he did make taylor miss somewhat while moving backward and slipping his punches.

I personally think, that he is really good with his jab/ because he relies on it.....and it makes the illusion of him being a more mobile fighter. There was actually a point, where all everyone would talk about was Lennox Lewis' speed. That "speed" I think is a mirage of minimal lateral movement, combined with a good jab. He throws it effectively, stunning the opponent..allowing his to move minimally. I think he is a monolith personally.

Meaning, he is not fast. I just dont buy it.

Sturm - Taylor would be interesting, because sturm's jab is as good as taylor's. sturm also shows signs he may be as physically strong as taylor ( i've only seen sturm against dlh - don't know much about him)
no way sturm beats HOps, though, no ****ing way, sturm ain't that good but he's good enough to give him a good fight, if it happens it'll go to a 12 round decsion like eastman did, however, i can see sturm being busier than eastman was, but he doesn't have eastman's power

now that taylor can throw wild punches sicne he aint in the oly anymore i think sturm will make him look silly, hell taylor almost fell through the ropes when u tried to swing at him liek that

Taylor has to much power for Sturm period.

sturm's a good fighter, but i rank him right behind nard and taylor....

I say lets put sturm to a real test for his chin, thorw him in vs trinidad b4 facing hopkins b4 the year is over, cause we all know that Tito will beat Winky via KO

[MlLkMan]

Felix Sturm is exactly the kind of fighter the old B-Hop could have problems with. He's fast, intelligent, not very powerful but his box is beautyful.

I'm just happy that B-Hop cann't used the fighting mandatories excuse anymore, I'm sure that he wants to fight the winner of Trinidad/Wright but Taylor or Sturm could *** that plan for him...
