    Should Abraham and Sturm ever fight someone who will actually punch back in anger or is skilled I suspect they won't be champion for long.How the **** they get away with fighting these unqualified opponents are beyond me.

    You have no clue what you are talking about,mate!
    Go to boxrec and have a look at Abraham's fight record! Then come back and claim again that Abraham hasnt fought anyone who can actually punch back!
    His next opponent Khoren Gevor is a very dangerous challenge.
    Obviously you have never seen that Armenian warrior.Otherwise you wouldnt have talked such nonsense about unqualified opponents.

    Abraham has faced solid opponents (Miranda, Eastman, Jantuah, Ikeke)

    i agree with you on your opinion on sturm. he is really a bottomfeeder.

    but abraham is a different kettle of fish. he beat guys like eastman, ikeke, miranda and janthua(although he was only a jr. middle).

    I hope you're right, and I think you probably are. I would love to see Kelly Pavlik stay at 160, and become THE MAN at 160 like Haglar was. I think he can do it if he avoids the title collecting obsession that has been so popullar for the last several years.

    As impressive and Pavlik's victory against Miranda was his fight record is still not as good as Abraham' s or Sturm's one.Dont get me wrong,guys! I dont intend to say that Sturm could beat Pavlik.No,not at all.I for my part wouldnt bet a single coin on Sturm against Pavlik,but IMO both the Armenian and Sturm still have a better fight record than Pavlik at this point of time.
    I am not sold on Sturm at all,but honour where honour is due.
    We have to be fair-even towards fighters you are not that keen to watch.

    i may be one of the only ones that still says taylor beats pavlik
    and i'll go out on a limb to say if taylor fought winky again he would beat him in a more convincing fashion.

    taylor vs calzaghe or kessler?

    thats where we might see taylors first loss

    everybody seems to have there own preference for what happened in that fight.personally i thought a draw was fair.
