    In theory they should if they are rejecting Strum....but I don't think they will...

    As a german I prefere Abraham vs Sturm but Sturm has to win a tuneupfight first

    Abraham vs Hopkins is pointless Hopkins would win a UD anyway

    If Hopkins want's to fight @ 168 he should go for Froch, Ward or DeGale

    So Sturm is not ranked by the WBO.. what about Hopkins, he isn't as well..

    In my eyes they should do AA vs Sturm, it's 5-6 years too late now, same with Floyd and Manny, but why not making it.

    They tried to do it for the WBO and WBA but Sturm lost to that russian guy..

    So make AA vs Sturm now and then, next year they can make the new big all german showdown between AA and Feigenbutz for the WBO and WBA after Feigebutz knock this russian joke out that Sturm could not do!

    If it was Hopkins v Sturm then it would be the fight that should've happened for middleweight unification when Hopkins beat De La Hoya :deal

    AFAIK, Hopkins has never won a title at SMW.

    It'd be a nice cherry on top of the sundae.

    Neither would be fight of the year type of fights, Sturm-Abraham probably produces more action, but Hopkins-Abraham is the more preferable fight with the Hopkins trying to pick up another title angle.

    Besides there's always time for Sturm-Abraham, that fight doesn't need a belt to sell it. Hopkins-Abraham doesn't happen without a belt though.

    I certainly don't want to ever see a 49+ year old in the ring ever again. Sorry to him. Especially when he'd be draining down to a weight he hasn't competed below in many many years.

    Abraham vs. Sturm would be huge in Germany. Both have had similarly good careers. I actually think Abraham vs. Sturm probably should happen, regardless of the question being posed here.

    That's what I meant, the unfication would've then been between Hopkins and Sturm.
