I am not even going to break it down, but Bernard will break any version of Sturm, It's a joke thinking 'Oh Bernard at age 40 lost TWO CLOSE CONTROVERSIAL Decisions to a Prime fully focused Jermaine Taylor' = Sturm will beat Hopkins.
lol.

But, he wouldn't be considered an ATG in general if he reitred at that point which answer's your question as to if "Having the most Title defenses at MW is great". It's not.
Felix Trinidad has the second highest amount of Title Defenses at WW yet he's not a Top 10 WW nor is he close. He's not an ATG either in general.
And Hopkins is compared to the best MW's in history in the sense he's a Top 10 MW or at the very least has a strong argument for the Top 10. Despite the fact he just scrapes a Top 10 place, for me.

When did Hopkins ever defeat a great MW?
The best run of Hopkins' career was from Tarver-Pascal 2, that is what has cemented his status as an ATG
To whoever accused me of disliking Hopkins, that's not true, I regard him as one of the top 50 best fighters ever on accomplishments.
This thread is purely about MW though, and I think Sturm has the style and attributes to give him fits

Hopkins would crush Strum IMO. Sturm doesn't have a better resume and if you think sturm is more athletic than Taylor you're wrong. Taylor was a really good fighter. Hopkins was rough as hell and would beat sturm up on the inside before sturm could do a thing. Would it be pretty? No... but He'd win.
