Felix Sturm is completely overrated

It was one writers personal opinion set to a certain criteria that's all.

 

Exactly, but I guess people don´t read anymore. Slow glance and the list and than create a thread like this. Pathetic. :-(

 

I have to agree. The Ring's recent All-time Middleweight rankings were in no way credible. To rank Sturm or Abraham in the top 10 and BHop as #1 is something you would expect from the WBC or WBA. The only rationale I can think for ranking BHop #1 is due to his affilitation with Golden Boy, the current owner of The Ring. BHop is great, and had a long run as champion, but the quality and level of his opponents, simply do not match up to many other champions and do not warrant a #1 ranking. Top 10 probably. BHop in his prime as Middleweight champ, against Robinson, Monzon, Hagler? Also Toney, McCllellan, Jones, Griffith?

 

No way Sturm should be ranked above Pavlik and Taylor.

 

Very few people truly rate Sturm highly. Relax. He's in his own fake little league.

 

If Sturm manage to unify and beat His mandatory that He is avoiding like a plague, then He could be in the top ten. He could rematch His last draw that I saw winning and His win loos again Macklin.

 

Overrated on one person's list doesn't mean "overrated in general".

In general, he's actually underrated.

Just look at the fact that so many picked the mediocre Zbik against him (reactionary picks IMO - just because Zbik gave Chavez problems and Sturm struggled with Macklin and Murray...nevermind that Chavez isn't really top level himself, while Macklin and Murray were/are very legit contenders...) only for that to wind up being an utter schooling.

 

Is "He" Jesus or something?

 

Sturm is a ducking ***** with a paper belt, he's not a true champion

 

getting knocked out by a 37 year old lifetime junior middle weight castellijo didnt help his cause...going life and death with randy griffin 2 times..... 18 title fights of the wba and wbo and not 1 unification fight.....hes pretty good against the very mediocre

 

I think Sturm would suprise people with how well he would perform against a Martinez, Golovkin, or Pirog. He's a business man and a border line coward, but he's still a high level boxer he just doesn't always perform at his best (Murray, Macklin most recently). Had he made the rematch with either of those guys I'm confident he would've won convincingly.

 

its just too bad in this day and time we have to assume things rather than fighters settle it in the ring....we have to assume outcomes such as sturm vs lamotta , we should never have to assume sturm vs martinez, abraham, pirog, golvkin, taylor, pavlik ect

 

he beat ODLH though

 

Hagler and Sturm are 1a. and 1b. then you have Monzon.
