If only that were true... the 23 is only his current US ranking, he's actually # 114 in the middleweight world scene! :shock: http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=035040&cat=boxer
I wish I could Fightnews source: Promoter Sal Musumeci says undefeated middleweight Tarvis Simms (24-0, 11 KOs) could be in the frame for a fight with WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm in 2009. "Final Forum is in talks with Sturm's people, fight footage of Simms has been sent to Germany upon their request and further talks are expected in the very near future," says Sal, "at this point things look promising."
OMG, there is no excuse for this....calling all Sturm fans to comment on this.... the 114th ranked middleweight in the world....
What is stopping Sturm form taking the fight against Abraham now? He is not fighting Kelly Pavlik, it aint happening.
