Why didn't Hopkins fight Sturm?

[Xyei]

Do you even think Sturm would have fought Hopkins? Get the fuck out of here. Strum wants nothing more than to clutch to his little alphabet title and fight bums until he retires. He wouldn't even fight Abraham.

you honestly think Sturm would've beat B.Hop?!? ......no seriously, you REALLY think that?!?!?

We don't know. We CAN'T know, can we??! And you can thank the sellout chicken**** judges for that!

His fight with Calzaghe was the first classy and risky fight he had since god knows when. Maybe the RJ fight in '93. And I think he took it because his people told him Calz can't punch. He didn't need to anyway, Joe was always a better boxer.

exactly...plus calzaghe coming to the states to fight is always more effective than selling wolf tickets from another country...nard couldn't avoid him anymore...

yes joe proved to be a better boxer than nard, plus he was big enough to not get tired out with all of hopkins roughhouse, weardown tactics...threw in a couple of headbutts and lowblows of his own too i was impressed...

did you read what I wrote?...i said it would have been a good fight...i'll go even further to say that sturm would have put up a far better effort than oscar did and i doubt if he would have rolled over from that pitty pat bodyshot that hopkins landed on oscar...when was hopkins ever known to be a one punch ko artist anyways...thats why that hopkins/oscar fight was nothing but a fix fight for both of those cats to get paid....
