    Yep, Zbik is an easier fight for Sturm but Zbik gets underrated here badly.

    That would be great :)

    Thought Lee was rated one in the WBO rankings as well, but he has been overtaken by Bursak.

    Zbik is nothing special and he has no KO power so no risk for Sturm.

    Lee has the power to KO Sturm. Much more risk for Sturm here.

    Strum has been taking the easy way ever since he lost to Oscar.

    Lee's not going to stand head-to-head with Chavez Jr. like Rubio.

    Sometimes the 800 pound gorilla just wears ya down. Lee's conditioning has been suspect before. I hope he is training his axe off if this fight happens.

    Sturm has been taking easy options since 2006. Nothing new here.

    lee should go over to germany for the fight and loudly take the **** out of Sturm for ducking him live on TV... i still think lee was used somehow to make Zbik accept some crappy options in the contract...

    At least it's not a Ronald Hearns level fight.

    I dont want to sound like I'm defending Sturm cuz I'm not, but Zbik isn't a bad fighter at all. Of course everyone wants to see Lee dethrone Sturm, but Zbik might be able to do it. Zbik is German too afterall. Instead we might get treated to Lee-Zbik. Zbik reminds me alot of McEwan in his better days with fast hands. Lee vs Zbik might be better than Lee vs Sturm. I just hope if Sturm does lose their isn't an immediate rematch then that sucks for Lee. I have a feeling the belt is going to be switching hands like a game of hot potatoes.
