Why not mayweather-sturm at 156?

Sturm rightfully (but unofficially) beat a naturally bigger guy than Floyd at roughly the same point in that guy's career/peak abilities (in re: DLH). There's no reason to think Floyd can or should hang with Sturm. Bad risk/reward.

 

No. Just no.

 

Do you really want Sturm to embarrass another legend?

 

Exactly. Even on the wane of his career's orbit, and having never been anywhere close to the p4p talent Floyd was/is - Sturm is still good enough that his size will matter here. Floyd shouldn't tangle with solid natural light middles, let alone solid middles.

 

#1 - Mayweather wouldn't fight in Germany.
#2 - He's not a 160lber.
#3 - There's bigger fights out there if he wants them.
#4 - He only weighed 150 against Oscar @ 154.

 

It's 4 pounds and Sturm never has trouble on the scales, routinely weighing in below the MW limit...up to a couple of pounds below.

 

Why should Sturm be considered? He's barely better than average.

 

Meh.

Sturm would know better than draining himself to 156 besides Mayweather isn't crazy to go after MWs.

 

Well that's silly. He's quite unambiguously above average. The point here is that he's too big and too little a reward for the risk especially as he doesn't have big name drawing power outside Europe.

 

At the moment Sturm is walking aroud at 193 poundsatsch
