    I was wondering how many of you would agree or disagree with the following statement made by John Murray in relation to the Mitchell fight

    ''We're both world class operatives at this level and I'm sure we'll turn up at our very, very best and make the fans the real winners.''

    I personally agree with the the point he made about the fans being the real winners because I think it will be a cracking fight but "World Class Operatives" Really???

    murray deffo can mix in worldclass, though if he would win at the mo is another question, looking at the division at present, but he certainly desreves to mix it up there.Mitchell has been in world class and was found wanting, badly.
    mitchell world class........no......murray, yes he is but lets wait to see if he stays there.hope he does.

    You can only call yourself world class when you've been there and done it....Murray might well have the talent (doubt it) but he's got to show us something that he hasn't so far.

    He'll beat Mitchell without a doubt. I've paid to see John lots of times early in his career but gave up after a while because he was just not moving on....I think that the main problem that he has is with motivation, he coasts against inferior opposition and nearly blows it but can turn in decent performances against half decent fighters. He just needs to step up.

    So they're both Wolrd Class Operatives......... at Euro Level? :lol::lol:

    Neither of them have any hope at World Class Level - Especially not Mitchell. Murray wont either if he keeps on his Ricky Hatton diet

    What a pathetic paper.

    The Katsidis defeat ended a 31-fight winning streak - the longest in boxing - and it is the unbeaten Murray who has now inherited that mantle with his own 31-win run.

    Operators.

    And no, he isn't, but I'm sure the plan is to move to that level now he has a proper promoter.

    No where near world level as Katsidis showed. Rios would eat both for breakfast, Gurrero would sodomise both, Miguel Acosta would rip them both to shreds, Miguel Vasquez would box circles around them. Even fringe contenders like Demarco, Antillion. Anthony Peterson would beat both of them.

    i honestly think he will be shown up at elite world level but he is strong enough and is hard as nails that should be enough to win a world title.

    mitchell will beat murray, i cannot believe how many people are under rating him after his defeat to katsidis.

    murray is no katsidis, mitchell does most things better...
