    Is he the most irrelevant fighter in the MW Division?

    Fights nobodies when he is the champ and fights nobodies when he isn't the champ.

    I would have loved to see have seen him square off against Sergio or Gennady. Hell, even Abraham. But he just doesn't seem interested...

    Anyone else agree? Except Barker, Murray and Macklin, I can't remember when he was in there against the elite of his division.

    He's officially moved to SMW, and his last fight was against Stieglitz at....SMW.

    On consistency and longevity alone, Felix has been one of this century's top middleweights.

    Tough night work for anyone. At his best no one would beat Sturm easily.

    that ducker fought last at super middleweight and he's just as irrelevant there.

    Golovkin would have. that's why Sturm refused to fight him for years.

    He got robbed against de la Hoya and has made the most of it

    Stieglitz, Solimann 2x, Barker, Geale, Zbik, Murray, Macklin, Sylvester, Griffin 2x, Castillejo 2x, de la Hola...

    It's not that bad in my eyes

    i think boxing scene had an article on him and how at the end of his career, we finally got more meaningful fights.

    He fought Soliman to get his mandatory shot at Geale.
    Fought Barker(2 fight deal) cos Barker had just beaten Geale.

    Add former 3X SMW titlist Robert Steiglitz to that and yeah, not a BAD resume at all.

    Actually quite solid, but there's several gifts in there, and he blatantly ducked GGG and Im pretty sure Priog too.:think
