    Sturm will likely unify with the winner of N'Jikam-Bursak. Having two titles may buy Sturm another year from having to fight Genna. In the meantime K2 will have Genna on the shelf for most of this year, all of which is a tremendous disappointment for GGG.

    Sturm is no Champion. He avoided his mandatory. When was the last?

    How can he be called Superchampion without any other belt?

    He is nothing more than a paper champ.

    Unifications, undefeated, etc even undisputed mean little nowadays my friends. No point in having all 3-4 major belts when the real champions aren't fighting each other. I could care less about those things. Give me Maravilla, GGG, N JKam, Pirog, Quillin anyday. Macklin basically beat Sturm and based on Sturms recent performances I don't see him doing any better than Barker or Macklin. He always had a decent jab, but nothing more.

    If he is allowed to avoid his mandatory and "Unify" with the WBO Interm Titlist would be new low even for Sturm. The fact that the HNN-Bursak fight is for the WBO interm belt is a ****ing disgrace.

    Not to mention HNN just dropped his interim WBA title to fight for the WBO version :-(

    GGG is the most feared man in boxing :deal

    GGG would've knocked the N's out of HN'N' and he knew that. If that midget Khurtsidze sent that N'head flying imagine the damage GGG could do.

    Although Golovkin is a good fighter, Unification > Mandatory.

    Sturm is such a *****/shrewed business man that I could see him taking a unificafion fight with Bursak/N'Jikam then dropping the WBA belt.

    who is the black guy beside Golovkin and what belt?

    I have a hard time seeing him doing that with a Interm belt.
