:rofl:rofl:rofl Sturm was awfully insecure some years back...that's why he sounded so stupid and arrogant. He is still not at easy with cameras on, but I think he matured and settled as a man.... as a fighter I haven't seem him progress much though. Every time I think he's one level up, comes a struggle against an ordinary (usually aggressive and active, but not much more) opponent.

if you cant blame him for no big fights after holding a title for 7 years...who can you blame? after getting knocked out by a life long 37 year old junior middleweight, theres a reason he didnt want anything to do with AA. Sturm has skills, but they look better than what they are because of his **** level competition ... hearns? a 14-0 middleweight from japan? life and death with randy griffin a journeyman 2 times.... jamie pitman? 16-0 Noe Gonzalez Alcoba 14-0 Khoren Gevor, Giovanni Lorenzo, Sebastian Sylvester, Mathew Macklin in 30 years...not only will sturms name never be mentioned as great middleweight, but his opponents will never be known for anything that was remotely worth talking about......
h2h hes barely a top10 currently. had he fought Pavlik or Abraham he would have got streamrolled anyway whenever Strum takes on a serious gatekeeper its a highly competitive and entertaining fight but there are several guys around at 160lbs who would destroy him.. he gets regulary rid of bums like Pitman, Sato, Hearns and goes&death with all those gatekeepers like Gevor, Macklin, Lorenzo Griffin etc wins some, loses some. hes on the same level with those guys.. he hide himself behind his jab and blew the fight when Oscar was tired and ready to go. earlier in his career he was actually a lot better until he decided to turn into a wannabee Abraham possibly because Abraham is more popular in his country than him. he added a lot weight, lost his legs sticks in front of his opponents and gets outworked etc
