    Will Felix Sturm break Hopkins title defense record?

    He now is at 11 consecutive defenses, look out Hopkins.

    His run is close to its end. He has gotten more and more passive by each fight and eventually someone will take the title from him.

      IDK they can just match him against crappier opposition and he should be able to do it.

        Outside of facing Ronald Hearns 10 times in a row, I don't think he will be able to get away with it. Macklin and Matthew are decent, but not necessarily top level, yet they both came extremely close to taking the title from Sturm's grasp.

          His decline started I think with the Gevor fight which was another close one I personally thought he lost.

              This will probably be the year he's forced to fight Golovkin. Lets see how he does.

                Monzon did 14 as THE champ. That's still the real record.
