i think Pavlik is the most overhyped fighter of the decade but..... Pavlik clear UD, Sturms getting pretty overhyped himself lately he is by no means a great fighter, i have no clue why people think he is
Pavlik stops him, Sturm doesnt want Pavlik the same way he doesnt want Abraham. He'll fight whoever the WBA will allow.
sturm has mos def the tools to beat the limited Pavlik but I'm concerned about his mental make-up fighting outside of Germany after that DLH desaster.
He does, does he? Isn't that just a way of ducking Abraham, since he's never going to get Pavlik anyway? That's like Mundine saying he wanted Calzaghe before he ducked Kessler, saying Calzaghe was better than Kessler and what was the point of him fighting the man who was beaten by Calzaghe when he could fight Calzaghe instead...
you are right Sturm wants avoid Pavlik and Abraham until they are forced to change to the Supermiddleweight divison because of weight problems. Sturm is a ***** i hope Mundine beats him http://www.badlefthook.com/2008/11/11/658871/mundine-wants-sturm-talks
It's not for nothing that most people aren't surprised. It's what we've come to expect of Sturm and of Universum fighters in general. This is how they roll.
Well, any legit shot of wresting that belt from Sturm needs to be taken so their can be unification. Not that it matters to most of us though.
I hope you're right that Sturm/Abraham happens. I'm not at all confident. Sturm is on the verge of becoming another Erdei.
