[joeboxer]

wow.....what a fereaking moron. and what a *****.

wow... thanks for joining the board to bring more of the "enlightened" replies here at boxingscene...


btw, none of you know the specifics as to how much Sturm was offered for the fight, so you really can't name-call just yet. Think about it, why are boxers ultimately fighting??? Just think..... got it yet? MONEY. They need to be able to support family, lifestyle, etc. You really think Sturm is living comfortably right now to the point that he can afford to fight someone with an apparently low-ball offer?? Use your heads before you haul off and start calling names.

i dont see why anyone in the division would be afraid to fight taylor. they all should be trampling eachother to be the guy who exposes sloppy taylor for the hbo puppet that he is.

Think about it guys, he took short money to fight Oscar, was robbed. Even if he does beat Taylor, you really think the judges will give him a decision in Taylors hometown? Get real. Plus he is taking short money. Why would anyone wanna fight Taylor when you have to KO him to win.

I read $750 000. I dunno if that's small fo a title shot at Middleweight and fo a LEGIT challenger.

I remember that Sturmrules was convinced that Taylor would duck Sturm. What a crock of ****.

I agree.....

Nothing to do with being scared, I heard he received a very low offer for the fight, and his fight in Germany was giving him almost double.

A fight with Taylor would have been HUGE for his career.****** ass move IMO/

[AintGottaClue]

how do u guys now how much money sturm is getting? he was a champ and came to the US and had it robbed from him, why would he want to come back to fight taylor, for whatever money, in taylors home town, when thats a guarteened lose on the reocrd regardlees, not to mention he has been off for over 6 months now, sturm has alot to look for in the future, why would he want to throw it all away now, and yes i did say taylor would duck sturm, im glad to see he is offering sturm a fight, or... did taylor offer sturm so little money and he knew sturm would say no and is relieved that sturm wont fight him? untill both sides release statments that have the same amount offered u cant beilve anything, funny how all u asses jump on sturm cause of your hatred for me lmao, grow up

[STEELHEAD]

i've read sturm was offered $750,000 and all germany tv rights.

boxing writers have been saying this would be a wrong move for sturm and that he wouldnt take it.

looks like we may be seeing a taylor/soliman puppet show.
