Felix Sturm passes on eliminator with Stevens

Ndam vs. Stevens would be a good fight. Not sure who I'd pick, but I'd probably lean toward Ndam.

 

I can understand Sturm passing but why would Murray and Lemieux also decline?

 

Lemiuex would take the fight. He's got guts, much like Stevens.......but I think he'd rather go after the Rubio rematch:think

 

stevens is a fairly hot commodity in the states right now plus it's a 'title eliminator'. he'd get more notoreity for that fight than revenging rubio. oh well, to each his own.

 

But he could beat Rubio in a rematch, so long as he doesnt go for the KO with every shot, and then he'd be mandatory for Cotto.

Cotto vs Lemiuex would be a barn-burner.:thumbsup

 

And yeah, Stevens is something of a hot commodity atm, even though Taureano Johnson was kicking his @ss something fierce before the premature stoppage.

 

i agree with all that but i think Stevens was about to kill him. we'll never know for sure. i doubt Cotto will fight a prime tough middleweight at 160 lbs. but we'll see.

 

As I said from the start. Sturm's moving up to SMW for money fights with Abraham & Kessler, while HNN was going to be the next highest contender.

Thing is Murray & Lemieux turned down the fight back when they would've had to fight Sturm, I wonder if they'd change their minds if it had been Stevens.

I really hope HNN wins this as we don't need to see Stevens-Golovkin again (assuming Soliman gets his wish and fights GGG).

 

poor Felixia, he's looked worse for wear for years now, better take the Abraham megafight in Germany and retire, too much politics and cherrypicking done in his later career

 

This morning, I seen Murray post on twitter that he is the WBC mandatory.
I think he has himself confused with Marco Antonio Rubio

 

Was kind of looking forward to this fight, but **** this is boxing. The fans never get what they truly want.

 

:deal

 

Sturm has always been a chicken ****, his resume is a whose who of bums, even losing to bums like Soliman & Geale.

 

Sturm is one of the biggest duckers in boxing.

Ducked GGG for 2 years when GGG was his mando.

 

The WBC/Lineal Champion and officially #1 fighter at Light Heavyweight isn't relevant? :nut
