Felix Sturm
By JE Grant
Felix Sturm's recent string of victories will likely propel him to a shot at Bernard Hopkins. Importantly, his loss to Oscar De La Hoya was instrumental in getting him notice --- many thought he won their bout.
In truth, while it seems that any middleweight contender has a chance against a 40-year-old champion, I think Sturm does not have the power to dictate any part of the action against Hopkins. He has a good jab and a very useful dose of confidence. It won't be enough.
