Comments Thread For: Andy Lee Ready, Willing To Fight Felix Sturm in Germany

In fairness to Sturm, when he left Germany to fight in the US he was robbed.

That doesn't mean he should hide out his whole career, it was what 8 years ago.

Of cource Lee is reluctant. He went life and death with a guy Quillin disposed of easily. And Lee did not want to lose to Quillin before getting a title shot. They should have offered Quillin more.

The other thing to remember is from Lee's standpoint, it would be better to lose a disputed decision to a champ in Germany than to get knocked out by Quillin which is almost a given.

Hmm...Fight for his first world title against a highly rated middleweight in front of 20 thousand people for more money or fight a random dude nobody has heard of? What an incredibly difficult decision.

Wrong. Quillin has been seen on TV at least 4-5 times, Sturm was seen once fighting Oscar years ago and then got KO'd by an aged 154 pounder. Lee can at least claim robbery against Sturm. Against Quillin, he gets dominated and KO'd.
