    Sturm turns down the fight.
    Rumors have it that Pavlik wants no part of him either (Sauerland stated a while ago, that after the second Miranda fight talks with Pavlik's camp ended and instead of looking for unification KP went after older men in higher weight classes).

    So maybe he would have no other choice but moving up with middleweight right now being basically a 3-men division and the title-holders being heads and shoulder above anybody else right now. But do you think anybody at super-middle would want any part of this high-risk/low-reward fight.
    AA can be beaten by slick boxers, but everybody who tries to will probably go through a world of pain. Besides his big punching power he has a ultra-tight guard and a granite-chin. He basically is like a walking wall. So what fight is really out there for him?

    I wouldn't call him the Most Feared Man in Boxing.

    He's just starting to make a name for himself in America and you know most Boxer think of Money first. Regardless to the amount being offered - if you think you can make more money somewhere else - then that's where you'll probably go.

    There might be truth to this... he is pretty avoided although i do think KP will fight him eventually.

    I like the walking wall analogy... the guy seems impossible to get down next to that Winky turtle shell defense.

    I garantuee you, he will avoid Abraham as long as he can and until HBO pushes him. If he wanted Abraham, he could have gotten the fight instead of Hopkins. Pavlik has not mentioned AA since Miranda II

    which title-holder at supper-middle do you think wouldmake a non-mandatory defense against him? and it seems pavlik isn't to hot on the fight either. We all know that KP will fight sturm now and not AA.

    stylistically AA is all wrong for KP and if Miranda can't KO him with a broken jaw, I have a hard imagining anybody doing it. We are talking about somebody who aside the broken jaw has never been hurt in his whole career.
