    I like this fight a big win for either one with Pavilk getting beat more decisive by Hopkins than Wright did Winky and Sturm are still the wildcards at 160 and could give Pavilk and Abraham problems what do you think?

    Sturm wanted to fight in the US but his promoter wouldn´t let him fight the dangerous guys and the not-name Americans hadn´t promoters with enough money to make these fights happen in the US.

    Would be a battle of the jabs. Sturm right now has the faster hands and feets but Winky has the better defence and the higher workrate. Their jabs are pretty much even, Sturm´s faster, Winky´s harder. About 50/50 with slight advantages for Winky.

    Sturm/Wright is one of the most sensible fights to make at 160 right now. You basically have four guys who stand head and shoulders above the rest. I rate them like this:

    #1 Kelly Pavlik
    #2 Winky Wright
    #3 Arthur Abraham
    #4 Felix Sturm

    I'd love to see Pavlik/Abraham and Sturm/Wright on the same card: Middleweight Mayhem!. Afterword, say 3-4 months later, the two Winners face off. However, because of the various clashes of style, it may take more than one round of fights to establish a truly dominant champion.
