Why didn't Hopkins fight Sturm?

[boxasmash]

Everyone know's he beat Hoya and was robbed. Would have been a decent fight.

Oh, don't start that one now...youre opening a can of worms! I asked the same question, well I asked what would happen if they fought anyway. Too many BHop nuthuggers here to have a decent debate on that subject.

Bhop goes after money fights, there was no big payday in a hopkins sturm clash.

Why the hell would he fight Sturm?

[Shadows]

Money. It makes the world go 'round.

Plus, beating DLH would've made him the undisputed champ.

[djtmal]

if you are nardo, why risk legitly losing to a good, natural middleweight in sturm for chump change when you can beat up on an awful, blown-up welterweight whose only win at 160 was bogus...for millions at that...you do the math

i thought he was already undisputed when he and oscar fought...

[Mr. Philadel]

Money......Money.....Money......and Sturm bought NONE of that!!!.....best known for gettin' robbed against DLH......NOTHING else!!.....his resume didnt DEMAND B.Hop's attention!!!.....B.Hop would've beat him up anyway!!

Why indeed when it was easier fighting a natural WW and get a much safer win?

Easier match-up, bigger payday for De La Hoya. Just imagine if Sturm got the nod, I'm sure Hopkins would have been pissed.
