I think now would be a good time to have Pavlik fight Sturm

[Siggy]

sturm is no longer with universum.
they're currently in court to try to keep him til 2012.

sturm says he wants to fight in the US vs the best MW's

he's just another fighter who was being held back by universum.
why do people keep signing with them?
its the same story with golovkin.

LOL.

No way in hell Sturm is fighting Pavlik. Just no way.

It would be a great time for Pavlik, but Sturm gets paid alot to defend if WBA strap in Germany against fighters most ppl haven't heard. I doubt he cares about a boxing legacy and you need to take risks to have a good one so I doubt it ever happens.

did you not read the articles i linked?
sturm is done with universum....unless they win their court case.
he wants to fight in the US. he does not care about his belt or defending it, which is why he's not complaining that he was "elevated" to super champion.

if he just wanted to continue to be protected by universum in germany, he wouldnt have fought for his free agency.

Cut man should be the first to go, but Sturm is not exactly the best match up for Pavlik either.

Sturm would make Pavs the most money though.

Sturm isn't a bad fighter.

I don't get the hate tbh.

I'm not hating, just seriously questioning whether Sturm would be interested ina fight with Pavlik when he can make comparable money beating far lesser threats.

Its one thing to say he wants to fight the better comp, but I will believe it when I see it.

I don't hate Sturm, I just implied that he's a bad match up for Pavlik, as in Kelly would likely lose to him. A loss that would probably cripple his career at this stage.

Wow.

Now Kelly can't KO guys that get stopped by Javier Castillejo?
