Would things have been different for Sturm if he was awarded the W vs Oscar ???

[johnnycontrolet]

A complete mismatch - Sturm‘s German opponent is #425 at boxrec and # 33 in Germany. And they fight for a WBA Gold title

No, but they would have been different for Macklin if he'd been awarded the W against Sturm lol.

No more aged-out has-been retreads, please.
Just stop.
Have a cheeseburger and do something else.

I tell you, it's a fair argument that Sturm beat De La Hoya.

Yes, Oscar was not in the kind of shape as for Hopkins, but yeah, they made sure he got the decision so that the superfight took place.

[MulaKO]

Yeah, I still remember that fight. Sturm's jab was simple but effective and should have won him that fight. Outside of that fight he was not exactly a world beater. He lost most of his fights when he stepped up, so I cannot imagine his career would have been much different even with a W.

Weirder things have happened
Plus he sat out a year I think waiting for the rematch that never came

[MulaKO]

I am Australian so I am familiar with Sam Soliman and Daniel Geale. Sturm lost to both of them and they were just solid domestic level fighters. They were not world beaters.

I cheered heavy for King Sam Soliman
All heart although limited skills
I hear you
