Felix Sturm Turns Down Taylor Bout

[Grimgash]

All in all what does Sturm expect? He's not worth much draw wise, and 750,000 plus a shot at the undisputed is all he should get. Also I heard "He has to think about feeding his family?" Oh really who is he now Latrell Sprewell? Last I check my family's income is just SLIGHTLY lower than 750,000 and we manage just fine. I understand his family is used to being "spoiled" but to say he needs to think about feeding them? Get serious now. All in all Sturm just blew his chance of ever making a serious name for himself. He'll win the fake (they're all fake but, this one is more fake )WBA belt from Masoe than just fight a bunch of nobodies in Germany. Oh well, if Taylor fights Soliman atleast it'll be fun.

Good move for Sturm. People are acting like he will never get a chance again. Get real. He will because he is a good fighter. And like someone else said Taylor did the samething so shut the hell up. Sturm isnt ready yet and the odds are stacked against him PERIOD.

1. Coming off a serious injury

2. Last US outting he was robbed

3. Its in Taylors backyard.. Usually your robbed in someones hometown

4. Taylor arguably got 2 gifts in his last 2 fights.. he's HBO's boy. They wont let him lose a decision.


5. He can get more money in Germany and get a belt

6. He can fight Winky for the belts later... I mean Taylor



Sturm got robbed just so Oscar could fight Hops.. Now he is in the same situation kinda, he will get robbed just so Winky and Taylor can fight

He's coming off a serious injury that occurred like 2 months ago. By the time fight night come around he will have hurt himself eight-nine months ago. He's won four straight since getting robbed. As far as the venue goes, he will NEVER get Taylor to come to Germany. The only person who can be blamed for what happened in the Hopkins bouts is Hopkins. He's the one who wouldn't fight. The belt he'll win means nothing, and he's not making more. Sturm doesn't deserve another shot. Ever. If you pass up a shot at the real title, you lose it.

Good move?

Stop laying down justification for Sturm. He will get robbed? How sure are you? And even if he will be, people are not ****** to give him the accolades and recognition if they see him as the real winner just like what happened in his fight with DLH. The fact is Sturm was virtually unknown until he fought DLH and despite that ROBBERY his name is now being called out as a worthy challenger as a result. He lost that fight but he won the heart of boxing fans. Now all these respect and adoration will all go down the drain.

With the undisputed title on the line and the world wide exposure he'll get through HBO is enough for other fighters to jump on this offer. Getting a crack at a undisputed title and being an undisputed Champ is the ultimate dream of every fighter amigo. So let's make it simple, this is an act or cowardice or ******ity. There's no other way to describe it.

oscar sturm was a close fight
if sturm clearly wins the fight, than they cant rob him.
problem is, sturm isnt good enough to fight taylor and win convincingly.
sturm would take this fight if he thought we was good enough to win it

Exactly Dude. It boils down to confidence. Sturm is not taking this fight because he knows that he has a very slim chance to win. Because if he does believe he can win, he'll jump on this opportunity even if the fight takes place on the moon.

I just hate it when people can't be objective and tries to deviate from logical reasoning and resort to craps and dish out lame excuses.

That's how our history books tell us. Right after Germany won WW2 Ivan Drago was born to conquer Latinamerica without haveing to spend any more money on military. He than lost to Castro and was executed by Simon & Garfunkel (who were spions). And out of his left arm god made Felix Sturm. That's why Sturm has such a great jab. Taylor can't withstand a semigod I guess.

wow,i think i heard about that on art bell!!

[MetalVomit]

so what r u all saying? That the Taylor the CHAMP should fight whereever Sturm the CHALLENGER whats to fight?

After beating Hopkins twice, controversially or not, Taylor deserves a defense in his hometown. He's got the titles, and it would be rewarding for him, and his fans to have his next defense in his hometown.
