    No, that would be someone who gets themselves banned from a site FIVE times and comes crawling back each time hiding under a new account.

    Sound familiar?

    He's saying Strum shouldn't take the fight, becuase it's a certianty he'd get robbed.

    That's non sense.

    He should take the fight, come over and give it his best.

    You don't disagree with that, you just like to troll in because you're angry I expose you as a bitter little twat on a daily basis.

      "He should take the fight, come over and give it his best". Really foolish statement there Ching. Sturm doesn't possess the KO power to KO Taylor so that is mostly out of question, his style is totally wrong, a close decision will most likely go to Taylor, he's also travelling to a new country, another possibility why he would get robbed.

      Seriously, if he loses he is out of the picture because no one will really give him a chance until he gets himself into a mandatory position.

        Felix Sturm is recovering from an injury. His last bout was on 6/18/05. He is a great fighter but no Sugar Ray Robinson. I'd be very ****** of him to take the proposed offer and Taylors camp knows that. If Sturm loses the bout (due to inactivity, comeing from an injury, fighting in Taylors hometown) he's outa the picture for a while.

        He'll fight for more money in Germany and than there is the big money opportunity for a bout against Taylor. I doubt that Taylor will still propose a fight then though.

        Btw.: Sturm got robbed once in the US, no wonder he's being carefull.

          No, a decision will go to Taylor becuase he'll win more rounds.

          But I do love how you say:

          and then change your opinion because you want to argue with me.

          What a flip flop.

            America is not like Germany. In America people don't get robbed as much as Germany. Yea if the fight is a close fight, people will argue who won the fight. Sturm can never beat Taylor, so that's why he's ducking him.

            Also Taylor won both fights against Hop fair & square, most polls will agree that Taylor won both fights. So get over it you Hop lovers or Taylor haters.

              Yeah, if you're American and a fan favourite you're likely to be judged fairly in America.

              Other than that German based fighters have quite a history of getting robbed in America. Axel Schulz and Felix Sturm are the first that come in my mind.

              A healthy, in form Sturm beats a game Taylor any day of the week.

              Anyone who believes that Sturm should've taken this fight has absolutly no clue about the business. Everything involved speaks against takeing the fight. He makes more money for a lesser risk (inactivity, comeing from an injury, fighting against the american hometown boy) and sets up some major fights for the future.

                Will you sure don't like Taylor, I guess you think everyone will beat him. Sturm will never beat Taylor, I wont be surprised if Taylor knocks Sturm out. Any German fan should not talk about American judging. Germany is the dirtiest country when it comes to boxing, that is the fact. I'm not saying we never had fighters getting robbed in America & yes I thought Sturm was robbed against golden boy.

                  If you had followed my post over the last 1 3/4 years I been on this site you'd know that I condemn the poor judging in some major fights in Germany as well as any objective boxing fan should. But it pretty naive to state that it wouldn't happen in America as well.

                  If a German guy fights a German guy in Germany most of the times the scorecards reads very reasonable. Now if an American guy fights an American guy in the USA they usually do as well (with some standout exceptions). But it is common knowledge that any European fighter who has no serious KO power has some major problems overseas.

                  And yes, I do think a) that Taylor is far from being the best middleweight around and b) that a fit, healthy Felix Sturm is the better fighter.

                      I think the fact that you're trying to defend a guy not wanting a shot at the Undisputed Middleweight Title just because you love him gives me the right to make a post like this:
